  1. Russian Forest-based SectorTechnology Platformin progressAlexander S. Isaev, Natalia V. Lukina

  2. Importance of FTP/NRA • Most of Eurasia forests falls within Russia, area of Russian forests is about 851 millions ha (22 % of the world forests, FAO 2004). • Boreal and temperate forests amount altogether to about 50% of global boreal and temperate forests • Wood volume in forests is about 89 million m3 (105 m3/ha) (FAO 2005). • Russian forest accounts for 30 % of raw materials in the world market. • Russia holds 26 % of the world’s pristine forests.

  3. Russian Academy of Sciences

  4. Importance of FTP/NRA • The Russian forests represent significant financial, ecological and social values. • In the long run, it will not be economically justifiable to manufacture other than higher value-added products.

  5. Activity • June 2006, 1st European and Russian FTP meeting; • NSG organization; • NRA preparation (June 2006- April 2007); • FTP database (organizations, people, project proposals and etc.) (since June 2006 up to now); • European and Russian FTP’s meetings: 2nd meeting- October 10, 2006, 3 meeting – February 23, 2007

  6. NSG of Russia • Steering committee: representatives from different regions, research organisations • Pulp &Paper Industry • Woodworking Industry • Authorities (Ministries, Agencies) • Experts from different value-chains groups

  7. NRA – Implementation structure NRA Council (representatives of NSG) 5 value-chain groups with associated reference groups Forestry, Wood, Pulp & Paper, Bio-energy, Specialities Programme secretary.

  9. The objectives of the NRA • Promote development of the Russian forest-based sector: sustainable forestry, pulp and paper industry, wood processing, bio-energy, green chemicals and composites • Contribute to education in forest-based sector. • Contribute to more efficient research. • Improve the level of innovation. • Stimulate increased research funding and utilise the possibilities of different national and international financial funds and programmes

  10. Expert Group Value Chain Working Groups FTP Management Platform Council National and International Programmes and Projects Forestry Wood Products Pulp and Paper Bio-energy Specialities FTP Implementation structure

  11.
