As you may notice, biomass is in the building and the furniture and cooking
is for "him" and "her".

Street Journal, 6 January 2017.

The average size of an American home kitchen grew from 200 sq. ft in 1992
to 304 sq. ft. in 2013.

That is about the average size of the entire dwellings for the roughly 10
billion people who would have relied primarily on solid fuels for cooking
and heating in homes and other environments from 2000 to 2050.

I am then guessing that biomass (timber, but also straw, dung) used in
their dwellings (plus some furniture, though it is mostly becoming metal
and plastic) is about 10 billion tons. In turn some 30 billion tons of CO2e
stored.

And those people would likely have used some 500 billion tons of biomass
for cooking and heating over 2000 to 2050.

Depending on how the TC 285 certified stoves are used by these people, in
their homes or outside.

I wonder how many tons of difference members of this List made in the last
30 years.
