Table 3 Simulated annual carbon balance of the forest biomass pool and the harvested wood products pool as well as avoided emissions through product and energy substitution under the five examined scenarios
Business-as-usual | + 10% harvest | + 20% harvest | + 30% harvest | + 40% harvest | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Forest biomass net carbon balance (kt CO2/year) | − 17 | − 3 | 13 | 21 | 41 |
Harvested wood products net carbon balance (kt CO2/year) | − 5 | − 8 | − 11 | − 13 | − 17 |
Additional carbon sequestration in harvested wood products under intensified wood industry (kt CO2/year) | − 76 | − 80 | − 83 | − 85 | − 90 |
Product and energy substitution (kt CO2/year) | − 246 | − 258 | − 270 | − 280 | − 298 |
Additional product and energy substitution under intensified wood industry (kt CO2/year) | − 30 | − 31 | − 33 | − 34 | − 36 |
Forest industry net carbon balance (kt CO 2 /year) | − 374 | − 379 | − 384 | − 392 | − 399 |
