Wood offered as major contributor in reducing CO2 emissions

By: P.T.,STA

An online conference on the use of wood in reducing CO2 emissions heard that wood is Slovenia’s strategic asset and a material of the future, including from the environmental aspect.

One cubic metre of wood products equals a two-tonnes reduction of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, Economy Minister Zdravko Počivalšek noted. Slovenia plans to increase domestic wood processing to three million cubic metres, capturing around 7.5 million tonnes of CO2 in wood products.
