Mass timber in combination with sustainably managed forests is an important solution for addressing embodied carbon in the built environment as well as improving sequestration rates in forests. The Timber Finance Initiative will present their carbon credit concept for quantifying and monetising the value construction stored carbon in a removal certificate. Mass timber carbon removal certificates can create an important incentive to choose bio-based building materials over conventional carbon intensive materials as well incentive climate smart forestry management practices.
