Rewriting the rules of the rail market: Lessons from 11 paths to liberalisation

Rail is at the centre of Europe’s mobility ambitions — and its regulatory dilemmas. As passenger demand grows and climate targets tighten, governments are being asked to reform how rail is structured, funded, and operated. But beneath the surface of EU directives lies a much more complex and human reality: no two markets are alike, and liberalisation is not a copy-paste exercise.

Biogenic carbon in timber buildings – how should it be considered?

Timber has a major role to play in the decarbonisation of the construction industry: replacing carbon-intensive materials such as steel and concrete, lending itself to circular economy principles, and promoting sustainable forest management. However, it is its ability to sequester and store carbon within harvested wood products (HWPs) that is the ace up its sleeve. Or is it? Our review takes a deeper dive into biogenic carbon to assess its appropriate use when reporting embodied carbon. It should be noted that this study only considers the carbon associated with timber; related issues such as biodiversity impact have not been explored.
