News Finding: Using more wood for construction can slash global reliance on fossil fuels 
Paper Finding: With efficient product use and harvesting, more CO 2 is saved in the avoided emissions, products, and wood energy than is lost instantaneously from the harvested forest.
News Context: Using more wood for construction can slash global reliance on fossil fuels 
Paper Context: A wide range of savings can be obtained depending on the specific wood building material, the nonwood product being replaced, the amount of harvest that can be used for products (merchantable logs), and the efficiency of burning the scrap-wood and unmerchantable logs for energy. With efficient product use and harvesting, more CO 2 is saved in the avoided emissions, products, and wood energy than is lost instantaneously from the harvested forest. Energy from burning the nonproduct scrap-wood and unmerchantable wood contributes an additional CO 2 and FF savings during the manufacture of wood products (Figure 5a-b) , but not as effectively as if this wood had been used to make most products.
