This is what drove me up the wall about the 00s trend to shift to biogenic/biomass combustion as a fossil substitute. How did they not think it through?! And let's not forget the non-CO2 air quality impacts...

Burn more biomass -> use more land -> if wood, cut down more trees & release new CO2 that takes decades to “pay back”/if crops diverted from food supply, cut down more trees & release new CO2 to replace forgone food Yes use less fossil fuels, but if new biogenic CO2 more than offsets CO2 savings, 😬
