In this paper, we explain the role of the ISO 13391 standard series on greenhouse gas dynamics of wood and wood-based products concerning the need for better GHG information on wood products and forests. Our goal is to provide a constructive critique, based on ECOS participating in the process. We consider the progress it offers and its shortcomings, as well as how it can be used or misused.
Phasing out archaic fossil heating systems in favour of cleaner options is a must in Europe’s quest to cut energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. But only one year on from REPowerEU, European lawmakers risk backpedalling on their commitments to a fossil-free future in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and ecodesign rules for space and water heaters.
