... accounting convention followed does not affect the equilibrium outcome. The bioenergy from harvest residues is not emission free either. Furthermore, we show that an optimal policy subsidizes the production of wood products for their carbon sequestration. Correspondingly, carbon removals by biomass growth...

Within a reasonable range of harvesting costs, demand for roundwood is expected to increase with higher energy production targets.
