If wood-based housing can be considered "zero carbon", I must be confused about the definition of "zero carbon".

- timbit42 4y agoI'm not sure what you are referring to but the carbon in the wood of a house is effectively sequestered. I've heard the equivalent amount of hemp made into boards holds 60% more carbon than tree wood so perhaps that would be better, depending on the carbon required to convert the hemp to usable lumber.
