Estimation of Carbon Uptake in the Forests and Houses Sectors on a National Scale

Abstract

Purpose of this study was to evaluate the political implication on carbon sequestration in the forests and houses sectors. Forests and houses sub models were constructed and employed to conduct simulations that predicted the amount of carbon to be sequestered in planted forests and wooden and non-wooden houses on a national scale over 50 years planning horizon based on several policy scenarios. As a result, carbon uptake in the forest sector got decreased in all of the scenarios year by year. Carbon uptake in the house sector got decreased in first 20 years and increased after that.
