This study combines a global mass-flow analysis of technically recoverable agricultural residues with dynamic life cycle assessment to quantify climate benefits of diverting biomass into long-lived building products. Annual flows were linked to the Bern Impulse Response Model (BernSCM), radiative forcing and temperature response under different scenarios diverting biomass from combustion routes such as open burning, combined heat and power and biofuel production to long-term storage.
