Net Zero Roadmap
Summary

The Net-Zero Roadmap project wants to establish a clear route to net-zero carbon by 2050 for the industry. The roadmap highlights the key areas where the timber industry can make a difference, including:

  • How we can improve the efficiency of production and distribution of materials.
  • Moving over to electric powered vehicles for the transportation of products, and hydrogen for harvesting.
  • Moving over to biomass CHP, and other renewable forms of energy, at production facilities.
  • Working with our overseas supply chain to implement similar measures to reduce imported embodied emissions.

Case studies

Acharacle is a small and remote community on the south-west tip of Loch Shiel, some 40 miles west of Fort William. For many years the village had campaigned for a new primary school and community space to replace the old Victorian buildings, which were becoming difficult and expensive to maintain.

The Dyson Centre for Neonatal Care (NICU) at the Royal United Hospital in Bath cares for more than 500 premature and sick newborn babies each year; it has been designed as a template to show how good, sustainable healthcare design can be achieved, setting a benchmark for good practice, and creating a therapeutic environment to benefit parents, children and staff.
