The video is a short clip in which mature chestnut trees are being cut and turned into biochar on site in a kiln. The company promoting the process, Carbon Gold, intends to export it to developing countries. One scientist voices the concern that simply cutting down trees in this way exposes the underlying leaf litter and biomass which may itself undergo accelerated decomposition and release even more CO2 than the trees if left alone. Just as you can't "plant a forest," you can't "cut one down" either. Selective harvesting of tree biomass would lessen the impact.
