The economic and emissions benefits of engineered wood products in a low-carbon future
研究了美国在排放约束下用工程木制品替代钢铁和水泥等碳密集型建材的经济影响，发现这种替代能降低碳价和GDP损失，并增加建筑业减排。
There has been rapid growth in the use of engineered wood products in the construction sector in recent decades. We evaluate the economy-wide impacts of replacing carbon-intensive construction inputs, such as steel and cement, with lumber products in the US under an emissions constraint. We find that the ability to substitute lumber-based building materials increases production from the lumber and forestry sectors and decreases production from carbon-intensive sectors such as cement. Under a carbon cap-and-trade policy, the ability to substitute lumber products lowers the carbon price and the GDP cost of meeting the carbon cap, with more overall emissions abatement in the construction industry.
