Elucidating the amount of carbon stored in Japanese wood boards over the
past 70 years
A joint research team of the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology
(headquarters: Fuchu City, Tokyo, President Kazuhiro Chiba) and the Japan
Fiberboard and Particleboard Manufacturers Association (secretariat: Chuo-ku,
Tokyo, Chairman Masanori Yorota) has investigated the carbon storage capacity
of wood boards. We verified the method for estimating the amount of carbon
stored in wood boards used in Japan over the past 70 years. The research
results were published in Scientific Reports (dated June 17). During the
period from 1953 to 2020, the carbon storage amount of wood boards in Japan
has continued to increase, and the latest carbon storage amount of wood
boards in 2022 is approximately 80 million tons of carbon dioxide (approximately
80 million tons). 1,000,000 t-CO2). Additionally, the amount of carbon
stored in wood boards will increase by approximately 1.5 million tons (approximately
1.5 million t-CO2) from 2021 to 2022 when converted to carbon dioxide.
40% of wood boards are made from demolition and waste materials.
