Timber Building Materials: Long-Term Carbon Storage
As they grow, trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) and break down the molecule into carbon (C) and oxygen (O2). They “exhale” the oxygen, and use the carbon to form their wood. As long as the wood is used as a material, the carbon remains bound—including in wood products such as wood-based building and insulation materials or cellulose.
