Starting in July, the Wood Processing Growth Fund will provide about $3 million a year for research, business cases, pilot studies and market development around onshore wood processing projects, Henare told the annual Wood Processing and Manufacturing Sector Conference in Rotorua. The rest of the money \u2013 the majority \u2013 is available to companies looking to build plants or invest in equipment and technology. \u201cCountries around the world are looking to reduce emissions, and our comparative advantage in converting sunlight into wood products, which are inherently low-carbon, is almost unbeatable,\u201d Henare said.\u00a0 <em>(<\/em><em>NIKKI MANDOW)<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cie\u013eom nov\u00e9ho vl\u00e1dneho fondu je presadi\u0165 drevo ako n\u00e1hradu bet\u00f3nu s ni\u017e\u0161\u00edm obsahom uhl\u00edka v stavebn\u00edctve a pre fos\u00edlne paliv\u00e1.
