GHG displacement factors of harvested wood products: the myth of substitution. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 A common idea is that substituting wood for fossil fuels and energy intensive materials is a better strategy in mitigating climate change than storing more carbon in forests. This opinion remains highly questionable for at least two reasons. Firstly, the
