@jonat5nu @CEIBois I’d need to check but I think at a European level 20% wood ends up in the built environment storing carbon for 50yrs plus. The argument is to increase this %. Such use also substitutes for carbon intensive materials such as concrete & steel.

@jonat5nu @CEIBois Hence Commission President “building with timber could save up to 40% of carbon emissions in comparison to concrete.” Note: concrete responsible for 8% global carbon emissions. See https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/da/speech_22_7116
