Three FPInnovations researchers recently published a peer-reviewed paper entitled “Energy saving potential of interstage screen fractionation for production of board grade BCTMP” in TAPPI Journal (August 2023, Vol. 22 No. 8).

FPInnovations is pleased to announce that the next edition of the Woodrise international congress, an event that reunites the world’s leading players in mid- and high-rise timber construction, will take place in Vancouver (Canada) from September 22 to 26, 2025, thanks to the support of the government of British Columbia.

Timber structures are a sustainable, energy-efficient, durable, and relatively affordable solution to the growing demand for multi-storey residential and commercial buildings.

Woodrise, the biannual international event on mid- and high-rise timber construction and buildings, takes place from October 17 to 20 in France

Through the transition of land tenure, the increasing importance of consultation and co-management, and the impact of climate change, our values system regarding forest resources is shifting.

When constructing and maintaining resource roads, controlling erosion and sediment around the roads is important in preserving water quality for nearby fish-bearing streams.

An innovative solution to enhance economic efficiency of projects in Northern Québec

Jade Road is a haul road that intersects Highway 105 about 12 km north of Ear Falls, Ontario. Built and used over 60 years ago, the road was later de-activated.

Montreal,Québec – July 5, 2023 – FPInnovations, a non-profit specializing in creating solutions that support the global competitiveness of the Canadian forest sector, today announced that it has achieved very promising results in terms of fuel economy and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) during the field testing of an innovative electric drive trailer for use in forest operations.

In British Columbia, many forestry roads were built in past decades on steep slopes using poor construction practices and then were often inadequately deactivated afterwards.

Montreal, Québec – June 27, 2023 – FPInnovations, a non-profit specializing in creating solutions that support the global competitiveness of the Canadian forest sector, today acknowledges the contribution of the forest industry to the decarbonization strategy of lime kilns that aims to significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions produced by kraft pulp mills.
