This recommendation connects quantified CO₂ storage in biobased materials to rewards for farmers, processors and builders. When the carbon stored in timber, fibre crops and other biobased products is measured and made visible, it can be recognised in procurement, policy and pricing — and the parties who create that storage can be rewarded for it.
Quantification is the key step. Without measured storage, biobased materials compete on price and performance alone, while their climate value stays invisible. With it, a chain emerges in which growing, processing and building all contribute to a verifiable climate result. Steering on quantified storage thus links the material choices of the built environment to agricultural business models.
