NIBIO is a project driven research institute and collects approximately 400 million NOK annually in project funding from both national and international sources. A lot of activity is carried out through EU and EEA-projects and we also participate in research projects in Asia, Africa and Latin America. NIBIO coordinates several large international projects with a particular focus on food security and climate change. The list of projects is not complete.
In Enhanced Life-Cycle-Costing in wood construction by novel methods for service life planning (WoodLCC), researches will enable robust and precise Life-Cycle-Costing (LCC) based on input from novel models for detailed service life performance specification for wooden components and buildings.
The goal of this project centers around designing innovative systems from wood biomass to create advanced lignocellulosic materials. These materials will be engineered to withstand fluctuations in humidity, temperature, and potentially fire conditions. One of the primary objectives of the project is to examine the effect of nano and micro carbon molecules on the thermal degradation process.
