That is a very insightful question. The fibres used for wood pellets are not necessarily the same as those used for bioenergy. For now, I do not think that the members of Mr. Arsenault's association collect these forest residues in the forest. These residues are in the process of decomposing and producing methane and carbon dioxide, period. They are not used.
