Greenhouse gas emissions from round wood production in Japan

Environmental Impacts of Building Construction Using Cross-laminated Timber Panel Construction Method: A Case of the Research Building in Kyushu, Japan

“…[23], a Japanese process-based inventory database, for the background data. Environmental impacts of roundwood production were adopted from Nakano, Shibahara, Nakai, et al [24], and re-calculated using IDEA ver.2.3 for assessing all impact categories of this study, and maintaining the consistency of the background data. The environmental impacts of the CLT manufacturing and precutting processes were adopted from the Japanese representative LCA data [25].…”

The potential roles of bio-economy in the transition to equitable, sustainable, post fossil-carbon societies: Findings from this virtual special issue

“…Wood has a long-standing history as an industrial material and fuel: therefore, LCAs are needed to create sets of inventory data in order to quantitatively assess and reduce those environmental impacts mentioned by Hurmekoski et al (2018). In this context, Nakano et al (2018) estimated cradle-to-gate GHG emissions for round wood production of the following four tree-species, in that they provide more than 80% of total round wood production in Japan: Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica), hinoki cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa), Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi), and Sakhalin fir (Abies sachalinensis). The authors found that 41e46% of the total value chain emissions were related to final fellings.…”

Climate, economic, and environmental impacts of producing wood for bioenergy

“…First, an assessment of the emissions associated with producing and using bioenergy, which will include silviculture operations, emissions associated with logging equipment, transportation of wood, and processing biomass into biofuel, as well as GHG emissions from biofuel combustion. Nakano et al (2016) provided estimates of the energy-related emissions associated with forestry activities for producing wood, from tree planting to transport of the harvested roundwood to the roadside. The second LCA is for the baseline scenario (i.e.…”
