Scope

GB/T 44290-2024 is the English-translated version of 木材与木制品生物碳含量计算方法.

GB/T 44290-2024 is the Chinese national standard covering the carbon locked in timber and in wood products — the carbon fraction of the wood and of the product, the moisture content and the oven-dry mass it is applied to, the conversion of that carbon into the carbon dioxide it would release if the product were burnt at the end of its life, and the exclusion of carbon that came from adhesives and modifiers rather than from the tree. Appendix A works the calculation through on examples. First edition, under the National Forestry and Grassland Administration. In force from 1 April 2025. Issued on 29 September 2024, it has been in force since 1 April 2025.

Calculation method of biogenic carbon content of wood and wood products

1 Scope

This document describes the calculation method for the biogenic carbon content of wood and wood products and its conversion to biogenic carbon dioxide.

This document applies to the calculation of the biogenic carbon content of wood and wood products and its conversion to biogenic carbon dioxide.

Note. The biochar content in wood and wood products does not include the biochar contained in additives such as adhesives and modifiers in wood products.

3 Terms and definitions

The terms and definitions defined in LY/T 1788 and the following apply to this document.

3.1 Wood-based products

Products derived wholly or partly from wood or wood units.

Note. It is a product that has been processed by mechanical, chemical, biological and/or thermal treatment. [Source. ISO 38200 2018, 3.3]

3.2 Biochar

Carbon from biomass.

[Source. ISO 14067 2018, 3.1.7.2]

3.3 biogenic CO2; biogenic carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide obtained after oxidation of biochar.

Example. Carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere from the oxidation of wood and wood products when they are burned for energy at the end of their life.

[Source. ISO 19694-1 2021, 3.4, modified]

3.4 Carbon content carbon fraction of wood or wood-based products

cf The ratio of the mass of biochar contained in wood and wood products to their absolute dry mass.
