The transport to the port for possible shipment is also considered. The inventory is mainly based on industry data and is completed, where necessary, by secondary data. This data set is based on primary data from internationally adopted production processes, connected with regional precursor chains.0The data set represents the kiln-dried hardwood lumber of a particular specie and thickness as produced in the United States, focusing on the main technologies and the region specific characteristics.This dataset describes the production of kiln-dried, rough- sawn hardwood lumber in the United States. A cradle to gate system boundary was chosen for this dataset. The modelled process steps for rough- sawn lumber include:
Hardwood forestry management and logging:
Hardwood forest in the US in not planted but is naturally grown. No active management is required until the harvest. Hardwood forests undergo two main harvests: the commercial thin after 70-72 years of stand establishment and the final harvesting at the end of the rotation period (82 to 120 years depending on the management intensity). With low intensity practice, only the final harvest takes place. The hardwood species in the US are harvested by hand felling. Medium cable skidders are utilized for skidding, then the stumps are delimbed with chainsaws and loaded on long trucks to be delivered to the sawmill (sawing logs) or to the chipping mill (pulp logs). Some biomass (limbs, tops and other unmerchantable materials also known as slash) are left in woods. For the modeled regions no slash reduction activities are mandated for fire risk reduction and the slash is assumed to decay in situ. The two valuable products of the forest processes are sawing logs and pulpwood logs. The ratio of pulpwood logs to sawlogs can vary, with sawlogs representing 33.5% to 44.8% of the total harvest volume. Price data for the co-products was used for economic allocation between pulpwood logs and sawing logs.
The allocation between saw logs and pulp logs was made based on the average saw log and pulp log prices from 2009-2010 and are not species specific: 43.6 [$/m³] for saw logs and 32.7 [$/m³] for pulp logs.
Saw milling of hardwood
Inside the sawmill, the logs are first stored, then debarked and sawn into the respective thickness. Beside the main product “Sawn lumber, hardwood, rough, green, at sawmill”, other by-products are produced. Price allocation is applied. The mass ratios and prices of the main product and by-products are therefore listed in a table attached.
Kiln drying
The wood parts are thermally treated to remove moisture and get the desired properties for wood construction parts. This is done in a kiln. Only conventional kiln-drying was modelled in this dataset. Emerging technologies such as solar kilns are not included in the study. Sometimes lumber is pre- dried or air- dried before entering the kiln, but in this dataset the green lumber was assumed to enter the kiln without pre-drying or air-drying (this is a conservative assumption). For the energy supply of the kiln, 90% biomass (in- situ combustion of wood) and 10% natural gas are modelled. The kiln drying step has the highest environmental impact in the entire process chain. To dry wood of 1 inch thickness from 80% to 7% moisture content, it takes 9.0 to 34.5 days in kiln, depending on the kind of wood. A table attached is showing the drying times of some wood species. The drying period depending on the thickness and final water content is calculated by using a conversion factor which can be found in the report “life- cycle- assessment of rough sawn kiln- dried hardwood lumber”.
Transport
Transports within the process chain are accounted here. Transport from the forest to the sawmill and from the saw mill to the thermal treatment plant is done by truck, transport from the thermal treatment plant to the port is done by truck and by train. The distances represent the industry average distances for the hardwood logs and green lumber in US.
Background system:
Electricity: Electricity is modelled according to the individual country-specific situations. The country-specific modelling is achieved on multiple levels. Firstly, individual energy carrier specific power plants and plants for renewable energy sources are modelled according to the current national electricity grid mix. Modelling the electricity consumption mix includes transmission / distribution losses and the own use by energy producers (own consumption of power plants and "other" own consumption e.g. due to pumped storage hydro power etc.), as well as imported electricity. Secondly, the national emission and efficiency standards of the power plants are modelled as well as the share of electricity plants and combined heat and power plants (CHP). Thirdly, the country-specific energy carrier supply (share of imports and / or domestic supply) including the country-specific energy carrier properties (e.g. element and energy content) are accounted for. Fourthly, the exploration, mining/production, processing and transport processes of the energy carrier supply chains are modelled according to the specific situation of each electricity producing country. The different production and processing techniques (emissions and efficiencies) in the different energy producing countries are considered, e.g. different crude oil production technologies or different flaring rates at the oil platforms.
Thermal energy, process steam: The thermal energy and process steam supply is modelled according to the individual country-specific situation with regard to emission standards and considered energy carriers. The thermal energy and process steam are produced at heat plants. Efficiencies for thermal energy production are by definition 100% in relation to the corresponding energy carrier input. For process steam the efficiency ranges from 85%, 90% to 95%. The energy carriers used for the generation of thermal energy and process steam are modelled according to the specific import situation (see electricity above).
Transports: All relevant and known transport processes are included. Ocean-going and inland ship transport as well as rail, truck and pipeline transport of bulk commodities are considered.
Energy carriers: The energy carriers are modelled according to the specific supply situation (see electricity above).
Refinery products: Diesel fuel, gasoline, technical gases, fuel oils, lubricants and residues such as bitumen are modelled with a parameterised country-specific refinery model. The refinery model represents the current national standard in refining techniques (e.g. emission level, internal energy consumption, etc.) as well as the individual country-specific product output spectrum, which can be quite different from country to country. The supply of crude oil is modelled, again, according to the country-specific situation with the respective properties of the resources.Gasoline mix (regular) at refineryDiesel mix at refineryLubricants at refineryThermal energy from natural gasElectricity grid mix (East)Electricity from natural gasElectricity from biomass (solid)Process steam from natural gas 85%Process steam from biomass (solid) 85%SAWMILL, slabs <u-so>Inert matter (Unspecific construction waste) on landfillWater deionizedElectricity grid mixProcess steam from heavy fuel oil (HFO) 90%Process steam from light fuel oil (LFO) 90%Process steam from natural gas 90%Rough-sawn, kiln-dried hardwood lumber is an intermediate product further processed into final products to be used for a wide range of applications, from fine furniture and cabinets to internal joinery such as doors, stairs, floorings and paneling.renewables_hardwood process chain.jpgrenewables_wood production regions.jpgrenewables_wood sawmill allocation table.jpgrenewables_wood drying times.jpgKiln drying LCI model includes a mathematical model:
Different drying methods and schedules are used in kiln drying processes and energy consumption varies widely depending on species, lumber thickness and grade, and the adopted drying schedule. The kiln drying process was modeled to reflect these specific features. The daily energy consumption of a kiln is modeled based on the equipment efficiency and size. The number of days inside the kiln is then adjusted depending of the species, thickness of lumber product and amount of moisture needed to be removed from the wood (the moisture content of input lumber and moisture content of kiln-dried lumber). For details on the mathematical model for kiln drying please refer to the publically available report on "Life Cycle Assessment of Rough-sawn Kiln-dried Hardwood Lumber" made for American Hardwood Export Council in 2012.LCI resultAttributionalNoneAllocation - market valueAllocation - net calorific valueAllocation - exergetic contentAllocation - massNot applicableForeground system: In the foreground system, Price allocation was applied for the forest and sawmill steps.
Background system: For the combined heat and power production, allocation by exergetic content is applied. For the electricity generation and by-products, e.g. gypsum, allocation by market value is applied due to no common physical properties. Within the refinery allocation by net calorific value and mass is used. For the combined crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production allocation by net calorific value is applied.
For details please see the document "GaBi Databases Modelling Principles"Direct land use change: GHG emissions from direct LUC allocated to good/service for 20 years after the LUC occurs.
Carbon storage and delayed emissions: credits associated with temporary (carbon) storage or delayed emissions are not considered in the calculation of the Global Warming Potential impacts for the default impact categories.
Emissions off-setting: not included
Fossil and biogenic carbon emissions and removals: removals and emissions are modelled as follows: All GHG emissions from fossil fuels (including peat and limestone) are modelled consistently with the ILCD list of elementary flows. In the case that the emissions refer to the molecules CO2 and CH4, they are modelled as ‘carbon dioxide (fossil)’ and ‘methane (fossil)’. Biogenic uptake and emissions are modelled separately. For land use change, all carbon emissions and uptakes are inventoried separately for each of the elementary flows. Soil carbon accumulation (uptake) via improved agricultural management is excluded from the model.NoneGaBi Modelling PrinciplesGaBi Water Modelling PrinciplesGaBi Energy Modelling PrinciplesGaBi Refinery Modelling PrinciplesGaBi Agriculture Model DocumentationGaBi Land Use Change Model DocumentationLife Cycle Asessment of rough kiln- dried hardwood lumberFOREGROUND SYSTEM:
The decision on the exclusion of materials, energy and emissions data was made following the aforementioned criteria:
Mass – If a flow is less than 2% of the cumulative mass of the respective gate-to-gate model inventory, it may be excluded, providing its environmental relevance is not a concern;
Energy – If a flow is less than 2% of the cumulative energy of the model, it may be excluded, providing its environmental relevance is not a concern;
Environmental relevance: if a flow meets the above criteria for exclusion, yet it is thought potentially to have a significant environmental impact, it will be included. Material flows which leave the system (emissions) and whose environmental impact is greater than 2% of the whole impact of an impact category that has been considered in the assessment must be covered. This judgment will be made based on experience and documented as necessary.
The sum of the neglected material flows must not exceed 5% of mass, energy or environmental relevance of the system inventory.

BACKGROUND SYSTEM:
Cut-off rules for each unit process: Coverage of at least 95 % of mass and energy of the input and output flows, and 98 % of their environmental relevance (according to expert judgement). For further details on cut-off principles applied in the background system, please see the document "GaBi Databases Modelling Principles" Elements excluded from the system are the production of capital equipment, human labor and commuting. These elements are traditionally excluded from the product-LCAs as they are assumed to fall far below the cut-off criteria.NoneFOREGROUND SYSTEM:
The study is based on the data from CORRIM research, literature values, primary data from AHEC members and data from the GaBi 5 databases. Collected primary data went through quality and plausibility checks, and all unreliable data points were excluded from the data. Literature based values were confirmed with primary data from AHEC hardwood product producers. For all key parts of the model the range of values were assessed and the conservative values were taken for the assessment of potential environmental performance. Based on key quality criteria, the overall quality is estimated as very good.
