Recommendation 35
35
Paragraph: 177
Increased timber uptake in construction offers significant long-term carbon storage potential for net zero.
Conclusion
We welcome the Government’s aims to increase the uptake of timber in construction. The long-term use of timber in construction offers longer term carbon storage potential than other uses of harvested wood products and therefore has an important role to play in helping the UK to meet its net zero targets.
