Journal ArticleDOI
Life cycle primary energy use and carbon emission of an eight-storey wood-framed apartment building
TL;DR: In this paper, the life cycle primary energy use and carbon dioxide (CO2) emission of an eight-storey wood-framed apartment building were analyzed, including acquisition and processing of materials, on-site construction, building operation, demolition and materials disposal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated carbon analysis of forest management practices and wood substitution
Erik Eriksson,Andrew R. GillespieA.R. Gillespie,Leif Gustavsson,Ola Langvall,Mats OlssonM. Olsson,Roger Sathre,Johan Stendahl +6 more
TL;DR: The net carbon emission under alternative forest management strategies and product uses was analysed, considering the carbon fluxes and stocks associated with tree biomass, soils, and forest products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life cycle assessment of waste paper management: The importance of technology data and system boundaries in assessing recycling and incineration
TL;DR: In this article, a life cycle assessment focusing on global warming potentials of waste paper has been carried out and the importance of technical data, as well as the significance of system boundary choices, when modelling the environmental impact from recycling and incineration of waste papers has been studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate change effects of forestry and substitution of carbon-intensive materials and fossil fuels
Leif Gustavsson,Sylvia Haus,Mattias Lundblad,Anders Lundström,Carina A. Ortiz,Roger Sathre,Nguyen Le Truong,Per Erik Wikberg +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate the climate effects of directing forest management in Sweden towards increased carbon storage in forests with more land set-aside for protection, or towards increased forest production for the substitution of carbon-intensive materials and fossil fuels, relative to a reference case of current forest management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using biomass for climate change mitigation and oil use reduction
Leif Gustavsson,Jonas M Holmberg,Veronica Dornburg,Roger Sathre,Thies Eggers,Krushna Mahapatra,Gregg Marland +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how an increased use of biomass could efficiently meet Swedish energy policy goals of reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and oil use, and examined the trade-offs inherent when biomass use is intended to pursue multiple objectives.

Greenhouse gas emissions from the use of primary energy in forest operations and long-distance transportation of timber in Finland
Timo Karjalainen,Antti Asikainen +1 more
TL;DR: In Finland in 1993 the greenhouse gas emissions caused by machinery used in silvicultural and forest improvement work, wood harvesting, and timber transportation were 424.2 Gg, which seems to be small compared with the amount of carbon in harvested timber, which was 30 300 Gg in terms of CO2.

Operational efficiency in forestry
U. Sundberg,C. R. Silversides +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify problem identification, problem analysis, and problem analysis is performed by using the units and conversion factors of the energy conversion factor to solve the problem of problem identification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Some aspects of LCA in the analysis of forestry operations
TL;DR: In this article, the LCA technique is used to address issues concerning environmental stress caused by forestry, and the results show that motor-manual methods cause considerably lower emissions of CO 2 and NO x computed per cubic metre (solid o.b.) of harvested wood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life cycle inventory of forest seedling production — from seed to regeneration site
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed life cycle inventory (LCI) data for forest seedling production and the amount of energy and commodities used, and the emissions released to the atmosphere as a consequence of the seedlings production were calculated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fuel, Hydraulic Oil and Lubricant Consumption in Swedish Mechanized Harvesting Operations, 1996
TL;DR: In this paper, fuel hydraulic oil and lubricant consumption in harvesting operations in Sweden has been examined by using machine data acquired through a questionnaire, and the results showed that hydraulic, transmission and chainsaw oil consumption was significantly higher in forest company owned harvesters while no significant differences were observed among forwarders.
