17Selected products effects on environment
modelling with program ECO-it
▪ ECO-it numerically evaluates effects on environment
created by each material and process.
▪ Selected production amount for each products is 1 ton.
▪ To make productions mutually comparable, identical
energy resources and transport were chosen:
– transport (load >32 t), tkm − CO2 eqv. 0,117 kg, mPt 14,0;
– electricity (fossil), kWh − CO2 eqv. 0,594 kg, mPt 59,9;
– heat (firewood), MJ − CO2 eeqv. 0,006 kg, mPt 3,61.
▪ ECO-it materials and process database is limited. For
example, co-generation is not offered.

Woodchips 0,19 0,04 0,04
Total 4,02 0,14 3,34
▪ Smallest effects on environments are created by bio-oil production.
▪ Electricity consumption dominates analysed products effects on
environment, that can be explained by a fact that it is impossible to
choose co-generation as electricity source.
▪ CO2 eqv. method evaluates water effects as zero, therefore it is
zero for all products independent of consumed water amounts.

▪ Xylan (xylitol) can be obtained as by-product in other production
processes, xylitol as sweetener has big competition. Complex
product manufacturing possibilities or manufacturing of xylan as
by-product should be evaluated.
▪ Bio-oil as fuel is possible to realise, if competition advantages are
improved, but it is advised to evaluate products from bio-oil with
higher added value. Bio-oil use can be put to further processing in
products with higher added value, for example, biodiesel
(transport), phenol (rubber factories), volatile organic acids (ice-
cover preclusion), additives for pharmacy and food factories, etc.
▪ Lyocell shows positive commercialization possibilities in a
segment of natural fibres. Total textile fibre segment should
concentrate on international market.
Before starting production and commercialization more detailed
market study and analysis of business plan is necessary.

32Conclusions
33Conclusions (I)
▪ The golden string of LSF can be found in bioeconomy development
of the forestry industry: there is a wide range of possibilities to
increase price of forest resources in long term, by going step by step
in exported forest resource processing in Latvia, by initializing
(helping create) increased demand in local market and increased
economic advantages of forest resource use.
▪ There are fields identified, where forestry industry organisations can
work. It was done by evaluating three innovative products – textile
from wood (lyocell), bio-oil and chemical products (xylan derivatives)
commercialization possibilities. Separate manufacturing of one
particular product, without using residues for manufacturing of other
products with high added value, is not economically feasible in most
cases and leave bigger effects on climate and environment.
Therefore, it is suggested to evaluate manufacturing of these
products in a complex system with other products (using by-
products for manufacturing of other products) in detail.
34Conclusions (II)
▪ Scientific institutions of Latvia are ready to carry out studies on
manufacturing of innovative products from forest biomass, including
development of new and effective technologies for globally known by-
products, and their commercialization, but until now innovation
development has been obstructed by:
– lack of financial resources;
– interdisciplinary cooperation nihility between different scientific institutions;
– lack of studies that are oriented on results;
– scientifically justified facts and trust, that there are adequate and suitable
amounts of available bioresources in Latvia;
– disregard of bioeconomy base principles.
▪ It should be continued to systematically develop innovative products
and technologies commercialization possibilities by taking into account
commercialization effecting factors (for example, not only economic and
climate, but also political, resource and social, etc. factors) dynamic
nature.
35Recommendations
36Recommendations (I)
▪ To develop organisation (JSC «Latvia’s State Forests») bioeconomy
strategy, that would be a base for resource consolidation, research actions,
product commercialization in short term and long term.
▪ Climate alignment. To help government institutions arrange climate politics
questions, achieving support in carbon preservation innovative products
methods acknowledgment and include these calculations in EU member
states climate goals.
▪ Resource alignment. To make resource use study on non-coniferous wood,
depending on species, use for products with high added value and on
particular, incompletely used forest resource (for example, needles, barks)
no residue use possibilities for manufacturing of different products with high
added value.
▪ Manufacturing alignment. To make detailed studies on bio-oil, textile from
wood and valuable chemical compound complex manufacturing possibilities
in Latvia, including practical studies (development of technologies and
prototypes) and business plan development for particular product
manufacturing. To evaluate possibilities to establish biorefinery factory in
Latvia, where forest biomass would be used as a main resource. To
evaluate possibilities to renew cellulose production in Latvia for
manufacturing of products with high added value, using innovative,
environment and human health friendly technologies.
37Recommendations (II)
▪ Environment alignment. To carry out a study on bioeconomy
development effects on climate, environment and biodiversity, to define
boundary conditions for different bioresources that can be collected
from forest, without creating damages on climate, environment and
biodiversity.
▪ To give an opportunity to representative of scientific institutions of Latvia
to offer and for LSF to support local scientist created innovation
development for forest biomass use to create product with high added
value. To initialize scientists on result based research: for innovative
products from forest biomass commercialization (from laboratory scale
