SKOGFOND-Utviklingsfondet for skogbruket

Economic analyses of use of forest and forest products in Norway to reduce the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases, utenlandsstip.

Forest and forest products contribute today in two ways to the reduction of atmospheric content of greenhouse gases. First, while growing, forest absorbs CO2, which is stored in the wood. An old tree may be a pure storage of carbon. But later, the tree wi ll decompose and emit CO2 until most of t...
