Cover Story: The Finnish forest industry is committed to applying novel technologies for increasing carbon-neutral development and environmental sustainability in a “green” circular industry. This study compares the energy efficiency indicators of road freight transportation. The wood-based energy efficiency model of a synchronized transportation system was the most accurate and precise measure as the development indicator. The indicator showed that the timber transportation systems lead to a positive energy ratio of renewable wood and fossil fuels. The indicator also robustly revealed the energy efficiency of a partial system in the smaller supply region. This novel knowledge can be applied to advance the adaptation toward carbon-neutral supply networks. There is also the development potential of an industrial ecosystem model for optimizing the environmental sustainability of “green” circular industry. View this paper
