Based on this life cycle assessment, a single 12-story, roughly 8,000 sq meter mass timber building would sequester nearly 2 tons of CO2, and per the Fed (ymmv), China's been producing roughly 50 MM sq m/month, which works out to ~139 kilotons/year.
Oh, that's nothing. 😅
Whoops, I misread. It's 1.84 kilotons per building, so 154 megatons per year, plus roughly the same in mitigated emissions. Exponents amirite
Out of like 30 gigatons annually so still nothing 😭
