InventWood has developed a new material called Superwood, which is claimed to be lighter and stronger than steel, with 90% lower carbon emissions. The company asserts that this innovative product could replace up to 80% of global steel use and cut greenhouse gas emissions by over 2 gigatons annually. Founded by Liangbing Hu, who published pivotal research in 2018, the process involves structurally enhancing natural wood through a unique boiling method. Despite its promising attributes, there are concerns regarding the practical application and long-term performance of Superwood in construction projects.
InventWood's Superwood claims to be a game-changer due to its higher strength compared to steel and significantly lower carbon emissions during production.
Innovative methods transform bulk natural wood into a high-performance material, promising substantial substitution for traditional steel and a drastic reduction in emissions.
