- Summary:
-
"Forestry is an alternative to policy instruments designed to reduce greenhouse emmissions through reductions in the amount of transport fuel used. This study estimates the marginal costs of sequestering all or parts of the carbonemitted by the Australian transport sector for the years 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015. Based on a 'steady state' equilibrium approach of perpetual generic tree plantations whose growth characteristics are similar to pinus radiata, the analysis takes account of thinnings and carbon stored in tree roots, distinguishes decay rates of three broad categories of wood product, and uses previously unpublished data on land costs"--Page v.
