...Jinggang Guo; Peichen Gong; Runar Brännlund Using a partial equilibrium model of the Swedish forest sector, this study analyzes the impacts of an increasing bioenergy production on the timber harvest and forest growing stock. The impacts on the carbon balance of forests are also examined...

... bioenergy expansion, and other relevant trends in global forestry. The global forestry pathway narratives presented in this paper build on alternative futures research and multi-model inter-comparisons by further developing recent narratives with additional detail on specific issues related...

... owners' preferences Bioenergy The potential of forest carbon sinks in mitigating climate change is well-understood in scientific literature since the 1990's (Houghton et al., 1990). Under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), it is mandatory to report carbon stocks...

...Miriam Münnich Vass; Katarina Elofsson Forest management affects the quantity of CO₂ emissions in the atmosphere through carbon sequestration in standing biomass, carbon storage in forest products and production of bioenergy. The main question studied in this paper is whether forest...

... 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...

... expansion in bioenergy demand in the EU, and the impact that this will have on the global forest products industry. In the next section, we provide a detailed description of the global forest products trade model employed in this application. The results are provided in section 3, indicating the potential...

... to develop bioenergy plants without using merchantable (medium sized) wood. Within a reasonable range of harvesting costs, demand for roundwood is expected to increase with higher energy production targets. Harvesting merchantable natural softwood as woody biomass has a relatively small impact on marginal...

...Joseph Buongiorno; Ronald Raunikar; Shushuai Zhu The Global Forest Products Model (GFPM) was applied to project the consequences for the global forest sector of doubling the rate of growth of bioenergy demand relative to a base scenario, other drivers being maintained constant. The results showed...

... letters below the illustration. Increased diffusion of modern bioenergy-based space heating in Norway is a theme with a history that stretches over at least two decades. The main motivation for expanded bioenergy use has changed from one of rural development and job creation in the 1980s (OED, 1982...
