COP26 is a once in a generation opportunity to showcase what can be achieved.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Benefits of home-grown timber<\/h3>\n<p>Among a range of benefits, using more home-grown timber is expected to significantly lower costs for the construction industry \u2013 initial figures suggest a potential reduction of as much as 10% compared to imported CLT \u2013 cut carbon emissions through reduced need for transportation, and open new markets to the UK-based timber sector.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Robert Hairstans, head of the Centre for Offsite Construction and Innovative Structures, commented: \u201cScotland has the renewable resource, internationally recognised expertise and technical capabilities necessary to be at the forefront of a new approach to delivering a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/digital-sustainable-built-environment\/84986\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sustainable built environment<\/a> in response to the climate crisis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLeveraging this potential Scotland can deliver the human capital and built assets necessary to form the fabric of a circular economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDigitally enabled, these assets can instigate an ecosystem of organic growth unlocking the potential of a sector that can lead the way in making the new normal a sustainable future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jason Hubert, head of business development at Scottish Forestry, added: \u201cScottish Forestry, and the wider Scottish Government, recognises the importance of increasing Scottish timber in construction as a means of storing carbon for the long term as well as generating green jobs for the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis project will provide the springboard for the sector to start manufacturing a great engineering product which can be used in large-scale buildings using home-gown timber.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Scottish Government is committed to getting more Scottish timber into construction and aims to increase the current 2.2 million cubic metres to 2.6 million cubic metres each year by 2021\/2022.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new pilot project has secured funding to increase the use of home-grown timber in UK construction and develop the country\u2019s first engineered timber manufacturing plant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[676,636,572,916,273,465,915],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-85667","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-planning-construction-news","7":"tag-construction","8":"tag-engineering","9":"tag-housebuilding","10":"tag-modern-methods-of-construction","11":"tag-research-innovation","12":"tag-sustainable-construction","13":"tag-timber"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Project to showcase use of home-grown timber in UK construction<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A new project has secured funding to increase the use of home-grown timber in UK construction and develop the first engineered timber manufacturing plant\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/home-grown-timber\/85667\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Project to showcase use of home-grown timber in UK construction\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A new pilot project has secured funding to increase the use of home-grown timber in UK construction and develop the country\u2019s first engineered timber manufacturing plant\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/home-grown-timber\/85667\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
