The situation with forest management is not expected to change in near future. As a result, the CO2 removal by the forests in Iceland is expected to increase at a constant rate till the end of current decade. In 1990, the removal was about 80 million tonnes of CO2 which increased to just over 120 million tonnes in 2010 It is projected that in the rest of the current decade, the total removal will continue to increase steadily to reach near 140 million tonnes of CO2 in 2020 for the monetary value of the CO2 re-movalj.
