Obviously from this table, Single-family homes built after 1980 are holding their sequestered carbon far better than any other form of wood sequestration. So, when it comes to using wood for products there is a far better outcome than when wood is used for fuel.
In the impoverished areas of the USA where winters are harsh, wood is a fuel of choice. It is readily available in most cases, free if one chops the wood themselves and far cheaper than using other forms of heat. It is not cheaper from a greenhouse gas view, but, it is cheaper when money determines the outcome.
Wood is also used in furnaces that heat water for homes with hot water heat, especially in extremely cold environments. The emissions are not contained in these sophisticated systems.
This is just an example and I will not critique it except to say cooper pipe provides a good conductor of heat to the surrounding air. Burning wood is extremely high in greenhouse gases.
