ANALYSIS OF CO₂ EMISSIONS IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF WOOD AND WOODEN MATERIAL BASED ON LITERATURE SURVEY

Abstract

This study was conducted to clarify the carbon footprint of wood and wood-based materials for the realization of decarbonized society by investigating the energy consumption of structural members up to delivery to construction sites. As a result of arranging the manufacturing process into several stages, it was found that the drying process consumes the largest amount of energy. It is clear that there is a large difference in energy consumption due to the difference in volume during drying, when lumber and lamina are compared. In addition, it was confirmed that the introduction of woody biomass has a significant effect.
