En 2018, Oliver Reinhard, jeune étudiant en sciences forestières, a découvert que la plupart des charbons de barbecue achetés en Suisse proviennent de pays lointains comme la Pologne ou la Namibie.
Les sources sont souvent obscures et la qualité inférieure, ce qui signifie que beaucoup de fumée et de gaz d'échappement nocifs sont produits lors de la combustion.
Oliver a résolu le problème en produisant son propre charbon de bois à partir des déchets d'une scierie voisine et en utilisant une cornue qui exclut totalement l'oxygène. Ce charbon de bois produit localement se vend bien auprès des clients soucieux du développement durable et des professionnels du barbecue.

In 2018, Oliver Reinhard, a young forest science student, discovered that most barbecue charcoal bought in Switzerland comes from faraway countries such as Poland or Namibia.
The sources are often obscure and the quality inferior, meaning that a lot of smoke and harmful exhaust gases are produced during combustion.
Oliver has solved the problem by producing his own charcoal from waste from a neighboring sawmill and using a retort with complete exclusion of oxygen. This locally produced barbecue charcoal sells well to sustainability-conscious customers and barbecue professionals.

Der junge Studierende der Waldwissenschaften Oliver Reinhard hat 2018 festgestellt, dass die meiste Grillkohle, die in der Schweiz gekauft wird, aus dem fernen Ausland, z.b. Polen oder Namibia kommt.
Oft sind die Quellen undurchsichtig und die Qualität minderwertig, d.h. beim Verbrennen entsteht viel Rauch und schädliche Abgase.
Das Problem hat Oliver so gelöst, das er nun selbst Grillkohle produziert und zwar aus Abfällen einer benachbarten Sägerei und mit einer Retorte mit komplettem Sauerstoff-Ausschluss. Dies lokal produzierte Grillkohle findet guten Absatz bei auf Nachhaltigkeit bedachten Kunden und bei Grillprofis.

Svrha projekta je razvoj novog proizvoda kroz povećanje privatnih ulaganja u istraživanje, razvoj i inovacije te jačanje kapaciteta Pana WINDOWS d.o.o. za istraživanje, razvoj i inovacije kroz kontinuiranu suradnju s istraživačkim institucijama. 

Projektom će se nabaviti oprema i usluge za provedbu industrijskog istraživanja podložnog učinkovitoj suradnji i opsežnom širenju znanja te zaposliti stručno osoblje.

Projekt doprinosi prioritetnim područjima Strategije pametne specijalizacije Republike Hrvatske za razdoblje 2016. – 2020., područjima Hrana i bioekonomija te Energija i održivi okoliš. Projekt će se realizirati u suradnji s Euroinspekt-drvokontrola d.o.o., a provedba će omogućiti postizanje izvrsnosti u industrijskom istraživanju, razvoju i inovacijama, komercijalizaciju novih proizvoda, rast prihoda i izvoza, što će pozitivno utjecati na nacionalno gospodarstvo.

The purpose of the project is to develop a new product by increasing private investment in research, development, innovation and strengthening the capacity of Pana WINDOWS d.o.o. for research, development and innovation through continuous collaboration with research institutions.

The project will procure equipment and services for conducting industrial research subject to effective collaboration and extensive knowledge dissemination and to hire professional staff.

Project contributes to the priority areas of the Smart Specialization Strategy of the Republic of Croatia for the period 2016-2020 in areas Food, Bioeconomy and Energy and Sustainable Environment. It is planned to be realized in cooperation with Euroinspekt-drvokontrola d.o.o. and implementation will help to achieve excellence in industrial research, development and innovation, commercialization of new products, revenue and export growth, which will have a positive impact on national economy.

Structural sawn timber intended for construction must offer similar guarantees to those offered by other materials and products intended for the structural construction sector. For this purpose, it is necessary to develop classification tools that allow manufacturers and marketers to certify the strength and stiffness values of all the wood that is placed on the market (adjusted to the species and origin that corresponds).
It is, in addition to being a legal obligation, a tool for the valuation of wood that is enabling a competitive improvement of its industrial network.

Technological development of structural sawn timber not only enables it to be directly promoted in the construction sector as a construction element, but also to be incorporated into the manufacture of technological products with high added value, such as glued laminated timber, duos, trios, CLT, prefabricated panels... These are high value-added products that require high levels of competitiveness that cannot be achieved without their main raw material, structural sawn timber, increasing its competitiveness, optimising its manufacturing times and its declared mechanical properties

Visual classification tools have been developed for the main commercial wood species found in Spanish forest stands, such as Pinus sylvestris, Pinus insigne, Pinus nigra, Pinus pinaster, Abies alba, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Quercus rubra, Castanea sativa and Eucalyptus globulus. Tools that in many cases enable the possibility of classifying structural sawn timber into three structural qualities, which allows the different qualities of wood that the timber industry places on the construction market to be classified and valued.
Mechanical classification systems are currently being developed for the main species of the Pinus genus. This is one more step in the competitive improvement of this type of wood, as it improves the classification times and the classifying performance in the different mechanical qualities.
Both developments have enhanced the value of the wood of the different wood species characterized, and have promoted its use in construction.
