Until someone suggests chopping them down and burning them as biomass,
will be greener than importing biomass from the other side of the planet.

Btw as regards the remark of Andy Burns, the article contains this sentence:

"You might think that the greenhouse-gas emissions associated
with transporting the pellets over such a vast distance must
be huge, but I'm told they make up a surprisingly small proportion
of the supply chain emissions. As long as wood fuels are
transported by ship, the distance doesn't matter too much,
says Scott Bentsen."
