Rising oil prices, the limited availability of non-renewable raw materials, and sustainable development together with the aim of improving the competitiveness of the forest cluster provide incentive for using wood ever more precisely and diversely.

Wood opens a carbon dioxide neutral development path for the chemicals and energy industries. Potential products include, for example, polymers and their components, special chemicals and transport fuel components.

The primary objective is to profitably use wood biomass to the furthest possible extent as the base material for highly-processed products. Wood contains constituents and chemical compounds that are too valuable to be combusted directly for the generation of energy.
