Old Growth Firewood Forests
renewable in what time frame, days, weeks, years, centuries

A manager and an employee talking. Dialog: We need to show that we’re being green, eco-friendly. The cutting down old growth forests makes us look bad. How about carbon credits? Nice, but not showing we’re green. Perhaps something that’s actually green? Like buying farmland. Maybe. Or planting trees, that always looks good. Then we can cut them down later.

Cutting down old growth forests to make biomass suitable for power generation, then planting saplings is not renewable in any sensible time frame.
