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 کاملClimate change mitigation effect of harvested wood products in regions of Japan
BACKGROUND Harvested wood products (HWPs) mitigate climate change through carbon storage, material substitution, and energy substitution. We construct a model to assess the overall climate change mitigation effect (comprising the carbon storage, material substitution, and energy substitution effects) resulting from HWPs in regions of Japan. The model allows for projections to 2050 based on futu...
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 کاملHarvested wood products and REDD+: looking beyond the forest border
BACKGROUND The focus of REDD+ is sensu stricto on maintaining forest carbon stocks. We extend the scope of sustainable management of forest from forests to timber utilization, and study carbon offsets resulting from the utilization of harvested timber for bio energy or harvested wood products (HWPs). The emission budget of harvesting operations depends on the loss of standing biomass by timber ...
متن کاملMethane emissions from landfills and carbon dynamics of harvested wood products: the first-order decay revisited
The First-Order decay method for carbon stocks is derived from first principles, and applications in the context of national greenhouse gas inventories are discussed. For methane emissions from landfills a method is developed that in principle is more accurate than the method currently recommended by the IPCC, and systematic errors are estimated numerically. The First-Order decay method is furt...
