 Project objective

Buildings are responsible for 36% of total EU emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2). Concrete has been an excellent choice in the buildings construction, nevertheless is responsible for emitting 500 kg of CO2 per 1m3 of concrete used. Triggered by these facts EU has already set binding targets for CO2 reduction for which alternative safe techniques to build buildings in a carbon neutral manner will be crucial. Timber is a structural solution that has a much lighter carbon footprint than functionally equivalent concrete systems since it absorbs and stores 1 ton of CO2 per 1 m3 of timber. Nevertheless, all known timber building systems allow only slabs with a uniaxial load bearing action. Thereby, in comparison to normal reinforced concrete slabs, timber slabs are often thick, expensive and complicated to build, since there is no efficient connection technology to rigidly connect timber slab elements to each other. TS3.0 technology represents the next generation of timber constructions aiming to realise typical skeleton buildings using only timber. We offer the possibility to build beams and slabs in any length and size and our proprietary butt-joint bonding technology allows the bonding of timber parallel to the grain. Therefore, timber beams by almost any length or plates of almost any dimension can be produced (i.e. rigid walls, floors or shells of any shape). Through the project we expect to reach €26.7 million revenues five years after its commercialization. Phase 2 will require an investment of close to €2 million, which will present a Cumulative Return of Investment of 5.9.
