The problem with sustainable wood products is that wood is not process
ready as cut, it frequently has to dry a bit.
In the tropics, it is quite possible that there is high humidity and/or
rainfall. Until and unless the wood is covered, it will get wet. 30%
(by weight) is not impossible after wood has been rained upon.
So two questions:
* Will the torrified wood be used or manufactured in an area of high
humidity?
* Will there be enough wood with X% RH to keep the facility running?
My guess is is a resounding yes on the first question and an equally
resounding no on the second.
