In a recent interview with Zürcher Wald, Erik Reichmuth, Managing Director of Timber Finance, explains the strategies for promoting sustainable timber construction solutions. Timber Finance specializes in harnessing the climate potential of the forestry and timber industry through CO2 financial instruments. Reichmuth emphasizes the importance of timber construction in reducing CO2 emissions, especially in view of the high environmental impact of traditional building materials such as concrete and steel. The company sees great potential in supporting the timber construction industry in decarbonizing the construction sector by trading CO2 storage certificates. In the same context, the new issue of Zürcher Wald refers to cascading use. This approach ensures that wood is first used for high-quality construction products and only used in downstream processes such as energy generation. This practice contributes to the efficient and sustainable use of wood resources. The President of Timber Finance is at the forefront of innovations in timber construction and, with his company Scrimber, shows how timber construction can be further developed with sustainable practical approaches.
