  2. Carbon in wood products IPCC Default – emission at harvest fails to recognise important pool Dakar conference 1998 proposed alternate accounting methodologies IPCC Default Production Stock-Change Atmospheric Flow

  3. IPCC Default – emission at harvest For wood exporting countries carbon emitted in another country is debited to originating country For wood importing countries – carbon rules are attractive

  4. Production Approach Responsibility for accounting for decay of all wood products rests with country of origin Need to track all products within other countries (incl non-Annex I) For wood importing countries – carbon rules are attractive We believe unworkable

  5. Stock - Change Accounts for all emissions from wood products in Australia – regardless of origin of wood product Places responsibility on Australia for all wood; origin of wood (Annex I or non-Annex I not important) Australia not responsible from emissions from exports We consider possible to implement

  6. Atmospheric Flow Similar to stock change but uses actual decay rather than assumed decay function Very difficult to implement - impractical

  7. Flow of Logs ABARE State Forest Services Back to 1944

  8. Identification of Carbon Pools in Products Sawmilling Preservation Plywood Panels Pulp & Paper Export Logs (incl. Woodchips)

  9. Life Span of Wood Products Very Short Term (Pool 1) 3 years paper, swd pallets etc Short Term (Pool 2) 10 years hwd pallets, MDF etc Medium Term (Pool 3) 30 years treated palings, kitchens Long Term (Pool 4) 50 years furniture, hwd poles Very Long Term Pool (Pool 5) 90 years framing, furniture

  10. Pool of Wood Products in Service Housing starts since 1944 Estimated amount of timber by dwelling type All housing timber assumed to be Pool 5

  11. Output from Model Log inputs to each sector Estimate of all products over time Split of products by expected life span A combined Australian figure converted to carbon equivalents

  12. Carbon Pool in Wood Products – Stock Change 80 70 60 50 40 Carbon pool (MtC) 30 20 10 0 1943 1953 1963 1973 1983 1993 2003 3 yrs to decay 10 yrs to decay 30 yrs to decay 50 yrs to decay 90 yrs to decay

  13. Examination of Alternate Accounting Strategies -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -7 IPCC Default Production Stock-Change 0 Carbon emissions (MtC) 3 yrs to decay 10 yrs to decay 30 yrs to decay 50 yrs to decay 90 yrs to decay All pools
