Summary This paper describes the development of a model for estimating Australia's stocks and flows of carbon in harvested wood products, including estimates of atmospheric emissions. The model estimates emissions in various forms, including those from wood products contained in Australia, encompassing both domestically produced (net of exports) and imported wood products. This estimate is the basis of Australia's National Greenhouse Gas Inventory report on wood products. The model can also estimate emissions from all (and only) wood products produced in Australia, and a third variant that presumes emissions from wood products at the time of harvest. The model represents a collaborative effort, involving relevant Commonwealth and state government agencies, industry groups and research bodies. The model uses available statistics on log flows from forest harvest and estimates of the carbon content of the various wood products processed (for example, sawn timber, plywood, pulp and paper and woodchips) to det... |
