Grönsamhet and the climate benefit of wood DEMAND FOR WOOD as a construction material
is rising, and there is every indication that the trend is only in its infancy. The construction industry accounts for substantial greenhouse gas emissions and rapid change is needed to cut those emissions. Wood is the only renew able construction material and it generates a significantly lower climate footprint than steel and concrete, as confirmed by comparative lifecycle analyses. By choosing wood, whether for construc tion, furniture, pulp or renewable energy, you are part of the green transition and what we call ‘Grönsamhet’ – Green Profit. This is also the name of our vision: to do business that we, as well as others – our clients, society and nature – can profit from. When a business profits everyone, we call that Grönsamhet. At Setra, we want to achieve Grönsamhet in everything we do. It is therefore particularly good to know that, by storing carbon dioxide for the whole of its life, wood continues to benefit the climate year after year all over the world.

Wood stores carbon dioxide for the whole of its life, making it a climate-smart material choice in construction. In Sweden, the effect is as much as 764 kg of carbon dioxide per cubic metre of sawn timber. The diagram shows emissions and storage of CO2 per m3 sawn timber. The emissions are calculated based on a lifecycle perspective, from planting to transport of finished goods to the customer. For the average customer in Sweden, using wood stores away 764 kg of carbon dioxide per cubic metre of sawn timber. (800 minus 36 kg)
