New publication on Wood Products Market Modelling

The forest-based sector can play diverse roles in the emerging bio-economy. Under the title "Modelling Bioeconomy Scenario Pathways for the Forest Products Markets with Emerging Lignocellulosic Products", this study examines how wood product markets could develop in a growing bioeconomy and which interdependencies occur between traditional and emerging forest-based industries.

Based on the scenarios designed in the reign of the joint research project “BEPASO – Bioeconomy pathways and societal transformation strategies), the authors analyse the development of dissolving pulp together with lignocellulose-based textile fibres and chemical derivatives in an extend version of the Global Forest Products Model (GFPM).

The findings suggest that, if the world could change toward a sustainable bioeconomy, consumption of roundwood could shift from fuelwood or classical paper production towards more efficient production of wood-based panels or lignocellulose-based materials.
