Abstract
Wood wastes could be renewable resources by recycling as particleboard manufacturing or energy production. Particle board is the most common item of wood waste recycling and energy production from wood wastes has highlighted for energy recovery to reduce greenhouse gas generation in recent years. The aim of this study was to evaluate the environmental benefits of the processes for particle board manufacturing and energy production. The functional unit was one ton of wood wastes and the environmental impact was analyzed by life cycle assessment methodology. The result was that 112kg of carbon dioxide equivalent was produced from particle board manufacturing process and 382kg of carbon dioxide equivalent was produced from combined heat and power generation process. The concept of temporary biomass carbon storage was to applied to this study.
