UPM Timber has launched a carbon storage calculator on its website. With the carbon storage calculator, wood industry professionals, UPM Timber's customers and consumers can easily calculate the amount of carbon sequestered in wood raw material and examine its climate impacts. “The carbon storage calculator provides the user with a clear measure of the emissions that have been generated by the production and transportation of the wood raw material needed for a specific project. It also provides a clear measure of the carbon that has been stored when the project is completed. The tool brings the climate impact of our raw material choices closer to everyday life, helping us all make more sustainable decisions," says Antti Koulumies, Vice President, UPM Timber. Wood is an excellent building material due to its renewability, durability, and carbon sequestration capacity. Using wood as a building material significantly reduces carbon dioxide emissions compared to materials that require more fossil fuels in their production.
