Discovery of a new type of wood that captures carbon like no other

Posted by in category: futurism

A new type of wood is challenging our understanding of trees. The tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) may significantly contribute to carbon management thanks to its wood, which is neither hard nor soft.

The discovery, named “midwood,” offers a way to improve CO₂ capture from the atmosphere. How could this wood change the game?
