Treatment of Harvested Wood Products
- "A pre-1990 established forest sequesters carbon during the commitment period but is not eligible for carbon credits. Why does this forest attract a liability at harvest during the commitment period when carbon is not emitted? - it is converted to timber."
- "If the timber used remains largely as a wood product, effectively retaining its carbon sink abilities, should this not be considered in accounting/trading procedures? In that regard, it is unlikely that much of the carbon stored in New Zealand trees will be released after harvest."
- "How will exported biomass be treated where carbon is not re-emitted?"
