Modification of wood by fast pyrolysis bio-oil – the NewWave project concept for bio-based wood treatment
2023 - IRG/WP 23-40990
The NewWave project aims to contribute to building a circular economy by introducing sustainable raw materials in different manufacturing lines, replacing toxic chemicals and lowering the environmental footprint of the products. The raw materials are obtained from the thermochemical fractionation of biomass. This process converts biomass residues by fast pyrolysis into Fast Pyrolysis Bio-Oil (FPBO...

Japanese traditional wooden building construction project in Bangkok - Part 1 Project outline, building implementation and effects
2023 - IRG/WP 23-40992
The purpose of this project is to build new ways to utilize wooden resources in Japan. Japan's forestry industry is in decline despite its abundant forest resources due to a lack of successors and other reasons. Meanwhile, in Southeast Asian countries, reinforced concrete houses, which are not suited to the climate, are on the rise due to a lack of wood and technology. To solve these problems in b...

Wood above ground project – Results and future plans
2024 - IRG/WP 24-11041
In 2000, the Danish Technological Institute (DTI) initiated an extensive study to investigate the natural durability of wood. The study involved exposing wood in various orientations to assess its performance. A total of 35 wood material types were exposed at DTI test site in Taastrup, Denmark. Moisture content (MC) was measured through weighing for the initial five years, decay was assessed follo...
