Resolving complexity: Material flow analysis of a national wood flow system integrating the versatility of wood

Journal of Industrial Ecology, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 1716-1729, December 2024.
Abstract A systemic understanding of the use of wood resources is required to defossilize society and promote bio‐based developments. This study provides a novel approach to represent a comprehensive material flow analysis (MFA) spanning the entire wood value chain; encompassing wood harvest to products, use in society, collection, reuse, recycle ...

Tracking Construction Material over Space and Time: Prospective and Geo‐referenced Modeling of Building Stocks and Construction Material Flows

Journal of Industrial Ecology, Volume 23, Issue 1, Page 253-267, February 2019., 2019
Summary Construction material plays an increasingly important role in the environmental impacts of buildings. In order to investigate impacts of materials on a building level, we present a bottom‐up building stock model that uses three‐dimensional and geo‐referenced building data to determine volumetric information of material stocks in Swiss ...

Shifting wood between material and energy use: Modeling the effects of substitution

Journal of Industrial Ecology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1198-1211, October 2024.
Abstract Wood as a renewable material is relevant for climate change mitigation: Carbon sequestration in forests and carbon storage in harvested wood products (HWPs) contribute to carbon reduction in the atmosphere, and the substitution of carbon‐intensive products with wood products can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Unraveling the Impacts: How Extreme Weather Events Disrupt Wood Product Markets

Earth's Future, Volume 12, Issue 9, September 2024.
Abstract While extreme weather events are often localized, the potential effects on global forests can be far reaching due to the interconnected nature of forest product markets. To better understand these dynamics, this study leverages historical forest‐based wind damage data in the United States and applies this information as shocks within a global ...

Assessment of the Potential of Biomass Gasification for Electricity Generation in Bangladesh

Journal of Renewable Energy, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Bangladesh is an agriculture based country where more than 65 percent of the people live in rural areas and over 70% of total primary energy consumption is covered by biomass, mainly agricultural waste and wood. Only about 6% of the entire population has access to natural gas, primarily in urban areas.

Robust modeling of material flows to end‐uses under uncertainty: UK wood flows and material efficiency opportunities

Journal of Industrial Ecology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 953-965, August 2024.
Abstract In this study we quantify wood flows from raw materials to end‐uses for the United Kingdom in a robust way using a new material flow analysis (MFA) model with uncertainty. This is important to identify opportunities for efficiency given constraints on wood supply.

Options to improve the carbon balance of the harvested wood products sector in four EU countries

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2024.
In this research, we assessed the carbon sequestration impact of different wood product uses in four EU countries (France, Finland, Germany, Spain). Overall, our results suggest that the harvested wood product (HWP) carbon stock can be increased in the short‐medium term by prioritising the use of wood for material purposes while maintaining constant ...
