Akshually… That trash wood turned into pellets would otherwise rot, which releases CO2, but also methane. And methane is considered a far more powerful greenhouse gas.
So the net is in our favor.
Standing dead forests should be made into charcoal and plowed into food fields, which is very stable stuff and the biogas used instead of natural gas in my opinion.
I mean, a biomass power station should have no net emission, that’s the whole point

Fair enough, that’s not a power station tough. IMO stone weathering is a superior carbon capture process
