Iordan, C.; et al. (2018): Contribution of forest wood products to negative emissions

Iordan, C.; Hu, X.; Arvesen, A.; Kauppi, P.; Cherubini, F. (2018): Contribution of forest wood products to negative emissions. Historical comparative analysis from 1960 to 2015 in Norway, Sweden and Finland. In: Carbon balance and management 13 (1), S. 12. DOI: 10.1186/s13021-018-0101-9.

„In this work, we quantify the net CO₂ emissions and the temporary carbon storage in forest products in Norway, Sweden and Finland for the period 1960–2015, and investigate their correlation. We use a Chi square probability distribution to model the oxidation rate of C over time in HWPs, taking into consideration specific half-lives of each category of products. We model the forest regrowth and estimate the time-distributed C removal. We also integrate the specific HWP flows with an emission inventory database to quantify the associated life-cycle emissions of fossil CO₂, CH₄ and N₂O.“
