and Andersons B.1
This work has been done on the bases of the Zero Emissions Research Initiative (ZERI)
undertaken in 1995 at the United Nations University. Main interest was concentrated on combination
fiber materials, biobased products, creating jobs and integrating into new industrial clusters.
Steam explosion treatment (SET) demonstrated the value of non-wood forest products (NWF-s)such
as: baggase, bamboo, corn cob, kenaf, oil palm, seaweed and others for processing. SET in
combination with furfural technology is likely to remain effective in the use of plantation biomass. .
Keywords: zero emissions, steam explosion, NWF-s.
