EU mitigation potential of harvested wood products
BACKGROUND The new rules for the Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry sector under the Kyoto Protocol recognized the importance of Harvested Wood Products (HWP) in climate change mitigation. We used the Tier 2 method proposed in the 2013 IPCC KP Supplement to estimate emissions and removals from HWP from 1990 to 2030 in EU-28 countries with three future harvest scenarios (constant historical ...
متن کاملHarvested Wood Products: Forest Carbon after Harvest
The forest sector represents a large source of income for Canadians. In 2013, the forest sector contributed $19.2 billion or 1.25% of Canada’s GDP [1]. Harvested wood products (HWPs), which are manufactured using wood harvested from forests, have also made headlines recently, with the world’s tallest wood building at 18 storeys having completed construction at the University of British Columbia...
متن کاملForest Carbon Storage 1 a Summary of the Greenhouse Gas Implications of Forest Carbon Storage
This chapter describes the development of material-specific estimates of changes in forest carbon storage in EPA's Waste Reduction Model (WARM). It summarizes the approach used to estimate changes in forest carbon storage in managed forests resulting from source reduction and recycling of wood and paper products. Forests absorb (i.e., sequester) atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) and store it in...
متن کاملSummary and Policy Implications
The UI bonus experiments were conceived just after unemployment in the United States had reached a post–World War II high. In 1982 and 1983, for example, the civilian unemployment rate was nearly 10 percent (Council of Economic Advisers 1999). During the 1960s, the unemployment rate averaged under 5 percent and during the 1970s, it averaged just over 6 percent. High unemployment, coupled with a...
متن کاملFuture carbon storage in harvested wood products from Ontario’s Crown forests
This analysis quantifies projected carbon (C) storage in harvested wood products (HWP) from Ontario’s Crown forests. The large-scale forest C budget model, FORCARB-ON, was applied to estimate HWP C stock changes using the production approach defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Harvested wood volume was converted to C mass and allocated to four HWP end-use categories: in us...
