Detailed Study of the Possibility to Produce Wood-Based Textile Fiber - Lyocell

Project description

The research project focuses on analyzing policies, regulatory frameworks, and resource availability to assess the feasibility of establishing a lyocell production facility in Latvia. The study begins with a detailed review of strategic policies, including climate policy, circular bioeconomy, and national development goals, to evaluate their alignment with the proposed facility's objectives. It also considers the facility's potential impacts on CO2 emissions, value creation, exports, and employment, using data aligned with IPCC guidelines.

The regulatory framework analysis examines construction-related procedures, environmental impact assessments, and territorial planning to address potential challenges. The second part of the study evaluates the availability, quality, and market dynamics of wood resources needed for lyocell production, using extensive forest database analysis and predictive modeling.

The project identifies risks related to environmental, social, and resource factors, while leveraging findings from related studies. Recommendations and conclusions will support sustainable resource management and policy alignment for the proposed facility.
