Carbon retention of Harvested Wood Products (HWP) is a vital title that wood scientists also consider. Some developing counties do not have a centralised database to track the flow of wooden material, thus it has to be calculated organization or community level individually. However, the amount of wood used for different furniture items is very difficult to estimate; due to the unavailability of data.
I want to design research to fill the gap, do you have any reference for this kind of study or please give me a guideline.
Thank you
Dear W.V. Tharindu Amarasinghe
The life expectancy of framing in our homes is about 100 years, 30 years for furniture, 30 years for railroad ties, and 6 years for pallets and paper. When wood is burned or decays, the carbon contained in it is released back into the atmosphere.
Dear S Kalaiselvan
Do you have any research material about estimating carbon retention of such furniture?
