Abstract

Harvested Wood Products (HWPs) are considered as means of carbon sequestration in the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has introduced the average (service) life multiplied by ln(2) as so-called “Half-Life” (HL) to define the period for accounting carbon sequestration in wood products.
