Long service life, low maintenance requirements during service life reduce CO2-emissions. The use of wood for building purposes has the highest carbon mitigation potential, especially attributed to the high displacement factors and the long service life of products. The carbon mitigation of wooden building products is between 7.0 and 8.5 tCO2 per m³ of products and between 5.5 and 6.5 tCO2 per m³ of harvested wood respectively.
