Sawmill residues, bioenergy and carbon footprint

Sustainability · Intermediate

How sawmill residues are produced, sold and used for energy, how RED III cascading frames the choice, where mill energy goes, and how to read and start estimating a carbon footprint (GWP, EPD, biogenic carbon). European and North American figures are labelled by region.
