7 Case: Allocation of sawmill products Linkosalmi Lauri & Kairi Matti Wood-based building products environmental assessment according to the environmental product declaration standard. Paper & Presentation. World Conference on Timber Engineering WCTE 2014, Quebec City, Canada. 7

8 Allocation of sawmill products Greenhouse gas emissions of the sawmill products Three different assessment methods for production phase Factor 1: Allocation based on physical values of products (e.g. volume or mass) Factor 2: Allocation based on economic value of sawmill products Factor 3: Allocation is avoided and all burdens from production phase are allocated to the main product (sawn timber) 8

9 Allocation of sawmill products 3 different allocation methods System boundary 9

10 Allocation of sawmill products ~67% of emissions are allocated to sawn timber ~62% of emissions are allocated to sawn timber ~47% of emissions are allocated to sawn timber Factor 1: Allocation based on physical values Factor 2: Allocation based on economic values Factor 3: All burdens are allocated to the main product 10
