Future Markets
Vibrant forest markets are founded on innovation. The Endowment invests in and promotes new and developing markets ensuring that forest values will drive conservation practices and help keep forests bountiful and productive for their full range of social, ecological, and economic benefits.
Mass Timber
Mass timber refers to a family of engineered wood products, such as cross-laminated timber (CLT) and glue-laminated timber (glulam), that are used to construct buildings, bridges, and other structures. By combining layers of wood into strong, durable building materials, mass timber is a faster, more efficient, and lower carbon alternative to concrete and steel.
Biochar
This program seeks to secure the sector’s leadership position in providing critical solutions to address the climate crisis. The goal of the Endowment Forest Carbon Program is to invest in catalytic climate resiliency solutions that benefit forests, markets, and communities.
P3Nano
P3Nano is a public-private partnership aimed at rapidly commercializing cellulosic nanomaterials. With our partners, the Endowment is investing in non-competitive research to take full advantage of the unique properties of cellulose at the nanoscale.
