The three things that I saw in the video are:
#1 Selecdtive cutting in mixed sustainable forests using horses.
#2 Heat treating wood.
#3) Chiping leftover material such as branches the run a bio-mass plant.
I don't know about #2 but I know for certain that both #1 and #3 are being done now in Ontario and have been done for a long time. I myself have cut selected trees out of a wood lot and hauled them out with a team of horses so as to have minimal effect on the remaining trees. My home town of Hearst Ontario had a bio-mass plant at least 40 years ago.
