Title:

Engineered lumber of strand board made from composites of wood chips held together by adhesive made from biomass pyrolysis oil instead of fossil-fuel-derived phenols.

Caption

Working with industrial partners NREL researchers have helped to develop technology to produce adhesives from wood bark rather than from fossil fuels. The bark or other biomass is pyrolyzed (heated in the absence of oxygen) and phenolic compounds useful for adhesives are produced. These adhesives can be used to produce high-performance engineered lumber.
