The main product is the Forest
Reference Level, based on the requirements given in the Regulation (EU 2018) and based on the available data. The Forest Reference Level is hereby a prediction of the expected emissions/uptake by the forests of Denmark in the period 2021-2030, based on the data from the reference period 2000-2009. This will subsequently be utilized as baseline (reference level) for the Danish accounting for forests.
