The research focuses on tangible projects around the problems within pulp and paper mills, primarily looking at how to use lower heating value energy, organic residual products and how to increase the amount of domestically produced high-quality biofuels and better process ventilation.
The programme is not about using raw material from forestry to produce new materials, products or services. R&D in this area is managed by BioInnovation, the Forestry Industries' strategic innovation organisation.
