Fact 2

 

Mature trees are harvested and their carbon is captured and stored in buildings and other wood products 

“The volume of wood in use and being processed in Europe currently stores 38.2 million tonne equivalents of CO
2, making a key contribution to reducing levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases.”
