CO2
- 50% of the worlds independently certified forests are in Europe.
Sustainable forest management for timber production converts CO2
from the atmosphere into building products.
TIMBER
- Across its product lifecycle timber has the lowest energy consumption
of any building material. Timber structures are carbon negative.
STRUCTURE
- Timber acts as a carbon sink. A solid timber Carbon Home contains
30-40m3 of timber, equivalent to approximately
32 tonnes of CO2.
ENERGY
- Recover energy from timber. Recycling timber products into energy
releases more stored energy than was used in the products production.
