Biochar producers then? I mean, even if the wood is poor quality otherwise, the woody material is a good way to lock up carbon, right?

my work sponsored CSIRO to look into some of this stuff, from everything I've heard theres a lot of potential for biochar.

Plant decomposition results in the release of CO2.
Some, but it's still negative emissions, otherwise there wouldn't be biochar.
