Carbon Credits for Mass Timber Construction

Technical paper examining the potential for carbon credit programs to support mass timber construction by monetizing the carbon storage and emission reduction benefits of wood building systems. Analyzes how carbon markets could provide financial incentives for mass timber adoption by creating revenue streams from biogenic carbon storage and avoided emissions compared to conventional materials. Explores technical challenges and opportunities for developing standardized carbon credit methodologies specific to mass timber buildings, including measurement, verification, and permanence considerations for stored biogenic carbon.
