…materials include conventional construction materials such as concrete, cement, steel, brick, wood and glass, plus novel wood-based materials such as cross-laminated timber. Insulated wood and CLT are shown to have…
…double these countries’ investment rates. Reinvesting in wind, solar, electrification avoids higher carbon fuels and deforestation for firewood. Reinvesting in timber value chains maximizes CO2 permanence and value. This 13-page…
…wood-based fuel or lower-value sawlogs. However less dense stands may favor longer growing cycles, to produce high value timber, locking carbon away in long-lived construction materials. Planting density depends on…
…and CO2 is lower down the priority list. We have also screened technologies aimed at decarbonizing cement and concrete, such as Solidia, CarbonCure, or thinking laterally, substitution towards timber products….
…the French Public Forest Office, to progress transportation technologies that could help evacuate timber. It has since raised €200M, including from BPI and Chinese backers. Designs for the LCA60T are…
…lighter-weight materials, especially to reduce the weight of passenger vehicles, displacing steel with aluminium, glass fiber, carbon fiber, mass timber, advanced polymers. Indeed, steel demand could exceed 4GTpa by 2050,…
