Probably not without some clever engineering, fast wood isn't very sturdy.

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?

Plant decomposition results in the release of CO2.

Some, but it's still negative emissions, otherwise there wouldn't be biochar.

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

Maybe you could use them in SIP panel construction even if only in pulp of fiber form.

Log cabins are of debatable sustainability being hard to seal and insulate to modern standards.
