Description

The project ForestPaths provides clear policy pathways that outline alternative trajectories for how European forests and the forest-based sector can help climate change mitigation, while conserving their biodiversity and sustaining ecosystem services.

Working package 4 develops enhanced tools, databases and methods to better estimate the climate change mitigation potential and biodiversity impact of the European forest-based bioeconomy, including the substitution and carbon storage effect of forest-based material and energy products, with appropriate time dynamics.

This deliverable 4.3 consists of the database with the climate change and biodiversity displacement factors for representative harvested wood products compared to their fossil alternatives.

The accompanying doccmentation explains how the substitution factors were calculation and how to use the database.
