ABSTRACT Wood use generates technosphere carbon credits (TCCs) through avoided fossil‐based emissions and net sequestration of into the (harvested wood products geological storage). We investigated how large uncertain TCCs per harvested are considering current alternative ways using wood, effects decarbonization societies over 25‐, 50‐, 100‐year time horizons. applied stochastic simulation scenario analysis Finnish market structure as a baseline to demonstrate TCC calculator created. The mean value were between 0.2 0.5 t C /t with an uncertainty range from 0.1 0.8 , depending on scenario. uncertainties mainly concerned extent which (1) substitution (displacement factors) (2) raw materials substituted (substitution rates). Assumptions reduced significantly time. can be increased by directing uses that substitute fossil‐intensive have long lifetime, such construction materials, increasing energy recovery avoiding emitting at end life capture storage. However, they very likely considerably lower than forest debits resulting harvesting additional for under all considered circumstances wide but reasonable parameter values. Thus, result emphasizes need reduce overall consumption goods mitigate climate change.

Climate change mitigation from increased paper recycling in Sweden: conserving forests or utilizing substitution?

Environmental Research Communications, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 6(7), P. 075002 - 075002

Abstract Climate change mitigation by increased paper recycling can alleviate the two-sided pressure on Swedish forest sector: supplying growing demands for wood-based products and increasing carbon sink. This study assesses two scenarios making use of a reduced demand primary pulp resulting from an rate in Sweden, present 72% to 78%. A Conservation scenario uses saved reduce pulplog harvests so as increase sink concomitant with constant overall wood product supply. In contrast, Substitution produce man-made cellulosic fibers (MMCF) dissolving replacing cotton fiber, implying Our results suggest that utilizing efficiency gains is better climate perspective than producing additional MMCF substitute fiber. conclusion holds even when assuming by-products indirect availability. Hence, unless joint improvements across value chain materialize, best option Sweden would seemingly be fellings rather MMCF.
