Wood offers tangible pathways to reduce CO2 emissions of construction
Tackling climate change calls for radically changing the materials we build with. Metsä Wood explores and develops wood-based solutions that complement and replace carbon-intensive construction materials, considerably lowering the CO\2\ emissions of buildings. Innovation plays a key role on the path towards net zero infrastructure. Adding wood where it makes a differenceThe built environment is estimated to account for 37% of CO\2\ emissions worldwide. Rigorous re-engineering of how we build is needed as the amount of raw materials used for construction is predicted to double by 2060 –
