Resumen
Descripción
This study was conducted to discuss the carbon storage effect of wood use as a sustainable way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in cities, a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. Wood delays the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere until its final decomposition. Thus, wood utilization is known as a good way to reduce greenhouse gases. At this point where carbon neutrality is a top priority worldwide, the best way to use wood as a carbon storage is to use wood as a high-demand and long-lasting urban facility or building. Adding or replacing wood facilities and buildings in a city will transform a city that emits carbon into a city that stores carbon. To implement a wooden city for carbon neutrality, international discussions on carbon storage in wood products and overseas cases promoting the use of wood in cities were reviewed and analyzed. In addition, the amount of carbon storage was quantitatively evaluated assuming that Seoullo 7017, an existing public facility in the urban space of Seoul, was replaced with wood.
