Timber is the earth's largest source of stored solar energy - estimated at about 180 billion cubic meters of hardwood and 110 billion cubic meters of softwood. It is in some of the conifer forests that we find the highest utilization and the major work on genetics, reforestation and management. Nevertheless, there is enormous potential for the utilization of waste and the development of wood chemicals. A major gap which exists in research, is in the tropical and semi-tropical hardwoods. Georgia-Pacific has gained a lot of experience on hardwood reforestation in the Philippines, Brazil, and Indonesia.
