In the SteamBio project, researchers from Germany's Fraunhofer Institute are developing a special steam drying technique that could significantly cut transportation costs for wood fiber.

German scientists are developing insulation foam ground from wood. Ground from trees, the material could replace petrochemical plastics, say researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute.

Fraunhofer scientists are developing insulation foam made from wood that could replace petrochemical plastics in the long term.

One of the sources of emission for pollutants in living spaces are particleboards glued with adhesives that contain formaldehyde. There is a new method that will now provide another way to reduce these vapors.
