Presented by Mr Fabiano Ximenes, NSW Department of Primary Industries on Wednesday 17th, 2016.
This presentation reports the results of a recently published FWPA funded project (PNC285-1112) that assessed the true balance of greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted and stored in native forests managed for both production and conservation in NSW and Victoria.
Utilising a new model called ForestHWP, it considered all the key elements of the carbon cycle in forests and in harvested wood products (HWPs), including carbon stored in HWPs in landfills and product substitution impacts (for HWP and use of biomass for bio-energy).
