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.
