Book Description
The study seeks to achieve three basic objectives: (1) to bring together information from both Canada and the United States in a more systematic and comparable form that has been attempted in readily available publications; (2) to utilize more fully the growing accumulation of postwar work in the field of raw material projections; and (3) to apply improved projection techniques....The study has an introductory analysis of background conditions and influences and a discussion of underlying assumptions. Past and future demand and supply conditions for individual commodities are then analyzed.

Biobased Industrial Products
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309175402
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
Petroleum-based industrial products have gradually replaced products derived from biological materials. However, biologically based products are making a comebackâ€"because of a threefold increase in farm productivity and new technologies. Biobased Industrial Products envisions a biobased industrial future, where starch will be used to make biopolymers and vegetable oils will become a routine component in lubricants and detergents. Biobased Industrial Products overviews the U.S. land resources available for agricultural production, summarizes plant materials currently produced, and describes prospects for increasing varieties and yields. The committee discusses the concept of the biorefinery and outlines proven and potential thermal, mechanical, and chemical technologies for conversion of natural resources to industrial applications. The committee also illustrates the developmental dynamics of biobased products through existing examples, as well as products still on the drawing board, and it identifies priorities for research and development.

Forestry and the Forest Industries: Past and Future
Author: E.G. Richards
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400936699
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 438
Book Description
In analysing the development and achievements of Polish forestry and forest industries over the last four decades, it is necessary to take into consideration the situation prevailing after the end of the Second World War, when these sectors of the national economy were starting their activities. First of all, it is necessary to consider the effects of the war such as: (a) the harvesting from the forests of the present Polish territory of 3 about 200 million m of merchantable wood, which is equal to the normal harvest over a l2-year period; (b) the destruction of over half the woodworking industrial potential. In consequence, the forested area inside the new Polish boundaries amounted 40 years ago only to 20.8 per cent of the whole area of the country. There has been a continuing process of increasing the forested area of the country (although at a diminishing rate). In 1986 the forest area amounted to 27.7 per cent of the land surface, that is to 8.7 million ha, an increase of over 2 million ha in 40 years. Intensive afforestation, performed regardless of the ownership category of the land by the State forest service, was aimed primarily at making good the losses in the forested area and the rational use of land not fit for agricultural purposes.
