- Adaption strategies in forestry under global climate change impact Researchers focus on how forests adapt to climate change: Forests play an important role in the European carbon cycle, but they are also vulnerable to climate change. The EU-funded ASFORCLIC project will focus on the forest wood value chain. Coordinated by the Mendel University in Brno, Czech Republic, the project will bring together institutes from Germany, Sweden, Slovenia and Austria to research the effects of the changing environment on forest tree composition, structural composition,...

BioHub
In BioHub we aim to improve the value gained from forest biomass and to better serve the industry in this transition phase. The project will launch new business models for terminals to direct material flows from forest to industries.
- Chemical and physical incorporation of bio-molecules into capillary-porous bio-materials for energy saving
- CoMush On September 1, 2017 the project Forest residues for combined edible mushroom and biofuel production (COMUSH) started. The project is part of the innovation project "BioEconomy 2.0 - Better Valorization of Residual Flows" as one of six sub-projects.
- Cost-effective and sustainable storage of chiped forest residues and solid byproducts The project will demonstrate methods for cost-effective and sustainable management during storage of unprocessed forest residues, with minimised risk of self-ignition.
- Electron tomography for revealing biomaterial nanostructure and its implications
- FOBIA The FOBIA project aims at enhancing business competitiveness of forestry service enterprises in the northern and peripheral regions of Finland, Sweden, Scotland and Ireland. The origin of the project lies in the need to improve the enterprises’ ability to meet increased service demands.

Reduced forest soil damage by advanced machine routing and motion planning
Increased interest in forest based ecosystem services requires new solutions on how our forests are used. An obvious improvement is to be more careful in conventional forestry.
- Safety Windows The forest machine's windows are part of the cab's protective barrier. Polycarbonate plastic windows possess very good strength properties and pass the various tests required for forestry machines. Nevertheless, it happens that the safety windows break, even in situations where they should normally hold. Several incidents have occurred, as well as serious accidents with severe injury to the driver.

Sulfur-Free Marine Lignin Fuels
New rules from the U.N. International Maritime Organization will ban ships from using fuels with sulfur content higher than 0.5% w/w and will come into force by 2020 aiming to decrease the pollution of ships. In the project “Sulfur-Free Marine Lignin Fuels” we are investigating a sulfur-free marine fuel that consists of a mixture of lignin in ethylene glycol. The lignin is derived from wood by-product streams after fractionation with organosolv pretreatment while the ethylene glycol is produc...
