The construction sector plays a key role in the economy and its decarbonization. It is essential to transform this sector towards more sustainable and efficient practices, and the use of wood from sustainably managed forests is a key alternative.

The forest bioeconomy is presented as a key strategy in this transformation. The use of wood from sustainably managed forests contributes to forest conservation and generates employment opportunities in rural communities, reducing dependence on imported resources. However, to date, the demand for structural timber and wood technology products is being met mostly with imported timber and to a lesser extent with products manufactured domestically from allochthonous timber. The implementation of this project plays a key role in decarbonization in the construction sector, boosting the economic development of rural villages, those depopulated areas that need to be integrated into the construction of a greener, more resilient and fairer Spain.

Activate an ecosystem of green entrepreneurship that allows to deploy the potential of the forest bioeconomy as a lever for rural development and biodiversity restoration, through the promotion and integration of a new timber value chain, based on native coniferous species, especially focused on the industrialized construction sector.
