Yes, however, wood can be carbon neutral.

The process of burning wood also does not emit any additional carbon dioxide than the natural biodegradation of the wood if it were left to rot on the forest floor. Over the course of a tree's life it absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and then releases this carbon dioxide when it either decomposes naturally or is burned. For this reason, no extra CO2 is added to the atmosphere, it simply releases the carbon dioxide that was previously accumulated back into the environment. Wood is a very environmentally friendly source of fuel because it is carbon neutral. Fossil fuels on the other hand, are not carbon neutral.

Where does the CO2 you breathe out come from?

The carbon dioxide we exhale comes from the food we eat. When we metabolize carbohydrates, fats, and proteins for energy, carbon dioxide is produced as a byproduct. This carbon dioxide is then released into our bloodstream and eventually expelled from our lungs when we breathe out.


Where can carbon dioxide originate from?

Carbon dioxide can originate from natural sources like volcanic eruptions, respiration by living organisms, and decomposition of organic matter. It can also come from human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes.

Where do the carbon atoms come from to produce the certain sugar for photosynthesis?

The carbon atoms used to produce sugars during photosynthesis primarily come from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Plants take in carbon dioxide through small openings in their leaves called stomata, and then use the energy from sunlight to convert the carbon dioxide into sugars through a series of biochemical reactions.


Where does the carbon come from that plants use to carbon dioxide?

From carbohydrates
