The Downdraft Wood Gasification Unit

Could this be one of the key missing pieces? 

In its simplest form, we are harvesting the finite, underground, carbon- based resources (coal, oil and natural gas), converting them into usable energy, and leaving excess CO2 in the atmosphere and fewer resources for future generations.. Here is a hypothesis which I am contemplating. If over time we converted much of our industrial agriculture into edible food forests, the trees would absorb excess CO2, provide food for us, and leave an annual crop of branches and dead limbs (i.e. stored carbon).

Could we not take this excess carbon source, turn it into wood chips and with the use of these small gasification units, provide the energy we need? In effect we would be harvesting current sunlight and eliminating our need for oil, coal or gas while simultaneously sequestering excess CO2 from our atmosphere. Hummmm….
