Wood and wood-based products - Greenhouse gas dynamics - Part 2: Forest carbon balance
This document provides a methodology for calculating the carbon balance of (a) forest management unit(s) (FMU). This quantification methodology is intended to demonstrate to what extent carbon pools in the FMU represent a net greenhouse gas sink or a net greenhouse gas source. This document provides information that can be used on organizational or aggregated product levels.
This calculation methodology considers:
Greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels or industrial processes related to forestry operations (e.g. production and distribution of fertilizers, fuels for machinery) are not included in this document.
NOTE 1 Greenhouse gas emissions related to forestry operations are covered in ISO 13391-1.
The quantity of wood entering the harvested wood products carbon pool is not included in this document.
NOTE 2 Material entering the harvested wood products carbon pool is calculated in ISO 13391-1.
This document is intended to be used by organizations seeking to understand, commit to, or contribute to climate change mitigation. These organizations can be either private or public, regardless of type or size, and located in any jurisdiction or any position within a specific value chain.
