Slash emissions by using the dead bodies of the source that removes carbon?

I mean, that's the mechanism by which carbon is removed. It goes into tree, tree dies or gets cut down taking all the solidified carbon with it, new tree gets planted in its place to repeat the cycle. In fact, the fastest way to scrub carbon with the practice is to farm trees, assuming you do it sustainably.

You mean sequestered, not removed. It's one fire away from being back in circulation.
