Timber structures have the potential to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change in several ways. First, wood is a renewable and sustainable resource that absorbs carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere as it grows and stores it in the form of solid wood. This means that, compared to conventional building materials such as concrete and steel, using wood in construction can result in lower net CO2 emissions. Additionally, the production of wood products, especially in sustainably managed forests, typically requires less energy compared to the production of other building materials, which can also lead to lower emissions. Furthermore, wood structures can be designed to be highly energy-efficient, reducing the energy demand of buildings and therefore their carbon footprint. In conclusion, while timber structures are not a panacea for climate change, they can play a role in reducing emissions and helping to create a more sustainable future.
