A similar decision in the UK resulted in clear-cutting old growth forests to feed biomass-burning power plants, with all the associated increase in atmosphere CO2
You also get all the same health consequences as burning coal. This is not a good move

A meaningful chunk is also from land use changes, where people decide to clear a forest, turning the trees into CO2. A decision to burn wood at scale like this has exactly that effect: you end up with a forest in various stages of regrowth, instead of a bunch of mature forest which is sequestering carbon.
