| Abstract |
One of the feasible approaches to achieving carbon neutrality is the increased production and
utilization of harvested wood products (HWP), which are recognized for their carbon storage
capacity. This growth in usage is expected to enhance both carbon storage and substitution effects.
This study constructs environmental input-output tables that focus on specific industrial sectors
for each wood product. It then utilizes these tables to examine the relative industrial competitiveness
of wood products across various industries from an environmental perspective, particularly in
terms of carbon absorption and storage. The results of this study indicate that increasing the final
demand for wood product sectors leads to a rise in output inducement and value-added inducement,
while also contributing to greenhouse gas absorption. Consequently, the wood product industry holds
an environmental competitive advantage over alternative material industries, such as the steel industry.
