🌱 Lignin: Nature’s Hidden Power in Wood 🏗️ Did you know that lignin, a natural polymer found in wood, plays a crucial role in making plants strong and water-resistant? Beyond its structural function, lignin holds incredible potential for sustainable applications across various industries! Check out our new infographic to learn more about lignin's properties and applications! More on our latest article: https://lnkd.in/d6cZSTRq At BIOBUILD, we aim to develop lignin-based binders for wall boards. These binders are intended to have similar or superior properties to conventional wallboards in terms of stability and insulation, with reduced environmental impact. learn more about our eco-friendly materials: https://lnkd.in/duVfJdfe 📢 What are your thoughts on lignin-based innovations? #SustainableMaterials #Lignin #BioBasedInnovation #EUfunded #CircularEconomy #GreenConstruction

📢 New publication! 🌿 The Future of Construction is Built on Wood 🏗️ Sustainable building is no longer an option—it’s a necessity. Wood-based construction is emerging as a key solution, offering a lower-carbon, high-performance alternative to traditional materials. But to truly scale up bio-based construction, we need stronger collaboration between research, industry, and policymakers. At BIOBUILD, we’re working to bridge that gap. Our latest article explores how innovation in engineered wood products, digital tools, and circular construction strategies can help drive the transition to a more sustainable built environment. 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/d6cZSTRq

The role of thermal energy storage (TES) in enhancing energy efficiency and sustainability in buildings has never been more critical. 🌎 Recent advancements are paving the way for greener, smarter buildings that optimize energy use, reduce costs, and support decarbonization goals. 💡 Key Innovations in TES for #GreenBuildings: Phase-Change Materials (PCMs) are now being incorporated into building materials to act as thermal batteries, storing and releasing energy as needed. This boosts indoor comfort and reduces energy consumption. Collaborative research initiatives are accelerating the development of TES solutions, helping buildings balance energy demand and supply more effectively. Studies also show that integrating TES in buildings can significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions and operational costs, contributing to a more sustainable future. The potential of TES is huge: it not only reduces reliance on non-renewable energy sources but also supports the move towards zero-carbon buildings🏗️🔋💚 In BIOBUILD, we are working with Universitat de Lleida GREiA Research Group who designs, produces and commissions prototype houses with the novel flooring and wallboards in the demonstration sites based in Sweden and Spain. UDL is responsible for assessing the feasibility of the impregnated solid wood that serves for the thermal energy storage in addition to collecting and analysing the data on the thermal performance of the demo buildings! #GreenBuildings #Sustainability #EnergyEfficiency #ThermalEnergyStorage #BuildingInnovation #Decarbonization #PhaseChangeMaterials #TES

🌱 Mycelium: A New Era in Sustainable Construction 🌱 Have you heard of mycelium? Its the vegetative body of fungi, acting as a key living ingredient able to colonise and bind together natural fibers.. As highlighted in the recent Mycelium 2025 report MycoStories, mycelium is revolutionizing how we think about building materials. At BIOBUILD, we are developing mycelium wallboards that integrate bioPCM (Phase Change Material) for thermal energy storage. These wallboards are a fully bio-based solution, not only sustainable but practical for the building industry. At the end of their life cycle, they can be easily shredded and recycled into new bio-composites, with at least 30% of the material reusable. These innovations represent a shift towards more environmentally conscious alternatives to traditional construction materials. With the growing focus on green building practices and sustainability, mycelium-based solutions are a step forward in reducing the environmental footprint of buildings🏗️💚 #BIOBUILD #SustainableConstruction #GreenBuilding #Mycelium #CircularEconomy #Innovation #ConstructionMaterials #ThermalEnergyStorage #BioBased #Sustainability MOGU SQIM https://lnkd.in/dDw9pDsm
