Wood is increasingly perceived as a renewable, sustainable building material. The carbon it
contains, biogenic carbon, comes from biological processes; it is characterized by a rapid …

Fossil‐based emissions can be avoided by using wood in place of non‐renewable raw
materials as energy and materials. However, wood harvest influences forest carbon stocks …

As a part of its climate policy, Finnish government facilitated the creation of low-carbon
roadmaps by sectors of industry. The roadmap process and the roadmaps were promoted as …

Abstract Whenever Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is used to assess the climate impact of
buildings, those with high content of biobased materials result with the lowest impact …

The urgent need to mitigate climate change invokes both opportunities and challenges for
forest biomass utilization. Fossil fuels can be substituted by using wood products in place of …

To calculate the global warming potential of biogenic carbon dioxide emissions (GWPbCO2)
associated with diverting residual biomass to bioenergy use, the decay of annual biogenic …

The transition away from fossil fuel based infrastructure for heating and cooling has to
happen on a scale and timetable with no historical precedent. As the systems are large and …

Achieving a sustainable energy transition is crucial for mitigating climate change. Citizens'
acceptance of the transition is important for it to succeed. We explored citizens' images of the …

A variety of climate mitigation strategies is available to mitigate climate impacts of buildings.
Several studies evaluating the effectiveness of these strategies have been performed at the …

As life cycle assessments are often conducted to provide decision support, it is important that
impact assessment methodology is consistent with the intended decision context. The …
