RESET explores how resin-rich diseased pine can be transformed from a damaged forest resource into a valuable feedstock for renewable chemicals, fuels and bio-based materials. The project focuses on developing methods for extraction, sorting and fractionation that enable efficient use of resin-rich wood within future biorefinery systems.

By combining forestry, biomass processing and bioeconomy research, the project aims to establish new value chains based on underutilized forest resources. The work also investigates resource availability, logistics and industrial integration within Swedish forest systems.
