Progress in LIFE Timber for All WP3
Activities within LIFE Timber for All WP3 continue progressing through research focused on incorporating biomass ashes into concrete formulations designed for hybrid timber–concrete systems.
On 5 May 2026, members of the LIFE Timber for All partners PEMADE, Rodiñas and 3edata visited the facilities of CETIM, a technology centre participating in the project, to gain first-hand insight into progress achieved within Work Package 3 (WP3).
Activities within this work package focus on studying and validating new solutions for hybrid timber–concrete systems, exploring strategies aimed at reducing the environmental impact associated with construction materials.
Current research activities include testing related to the incorporation of biomass ashes into concrete formulations, including material characterisation, mixture development and the assessment of properties for future structural applications.
During the visit, participants also reviewed technical progress achieved so far and discussed the next project steps, including the evaluation of mechanical properties and the analysis of the behaviour of these new compositions in hybrid structural systems.
Meetings such as this strengthen collaboration between partners, encourage knowledge exchange and contribute to the development of innovative solutions supporting a more sustainable and low-carbon construction sector.
