The Montreal Project

In March 2013, at the corner of an agricultural field near Montreal, Canada, 35 tons of unwanted wood collected in the surrounding region was buried in an excavated trench. Grass has since grown back on the surface. Nearly 9 years later, sample wood discs were excavated for physical and chemical analysis. The results show convincingly the high durability of buried wood. The operation was low-cost and highly scalable. See results at This is CDR presentation Episode 24.
