Groundbreaking Wood Technology used in China’s new eco-cities
During the fall of 2014, Chinese fire-norms regarding load-bearing wood constructions was eased, which possibly has major implications for Western wood imports and technology in China. Wood technology might be part of the answer to solve China's energy and climate goals and has already seen implementation in a new Eco-city project in northern China since the recent changing of the legislation.
Steel and concrete is currently mainly used for modern Chinese construction, but during the fall of 2014, the Chinese regulations were eased regarding load-bearing wood constructions after lobbying from Canada Wood and European Wood, which can have far reaching implications for wood exports and wood technology in China. Thanks to intense deforestation, wood is missing in China as a raw material for a coming 20 – 40 year reforestation cycle where Western companies potentially can step in to fill the void.
”I’m convinced that wood export and services connected to these exports have a big potential in the Chinese market. Coupled with China's growing economy comes increasing domestic environmental awareness and the desire for sustainability. In that context, Western know-how and raw materials will be attractive in China”, says Magnus Nikkarinen, Sweden’s former agricultural advisor in Beijing.
