Houses are responsible for almost half of the energy consumption. Wood will help reduce it?
Buildings are responsible for as much as 42% of final energy consumption, 30% of water consumption and 35% of greenhouse gas emissions, according to data from the European Commission. Similar conclusions can be drawn from the UNEP report “2019 Global Status Report for Buildings and Construction”, which additionally shows that these values are growing rather than falling each year. In construction, it is necessary to introduce modern technologies that will support sustainable development. An example is the use of precast timber. Its use contributes to reduction of CO2 emissions.
Strong rebound in the price of CO2 emission rights
The decrease in energy demand does not translate directly into lower prices of CO2 emission allowances. In March this year, the lowest quotation of CO2 emission allowances (contracts with the December date – CKZ20.F) was approx. € 15.3 per tonne. Since then, it has gradually started to rise and already at the end of June it broke the 25 € mark, to approach 30 € / tonne in July.
