Building with Biomass: A New American Harvest
There is widespread agreement that the United States needs significantly more healthy affordable housing, higher-quality jobs, and clean air, water, and soils. A worsening and unpredictable climate compounds these issues and demands immediate action to reduce emissions and remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. What if we could help solve all of these issues at once? This study explores a cross-cutting solution with surprising effectiveness and scale: manufacturing building products from upcycled biomass to turn undervalued by-products into valuable carbon-storing products for home builders across the United States.
