Many technical studies related to the development of biomass energy have been conducted. However, for technical solutions to contribute to economic development, they must be accepted in the market. Furthermore, improved knowledge on biomass supply and policy effects is critical in facilitating an increased flow from source to end user. The special issue “Bioenergy markets” contains ten articles which give new insight into the importance of the behaviour of market agents, the function of markets, and biomass supply. It also sheds light on the challenges of both competition between fuel-related and other uses of biomass and competition between biomass and other energy solutions. Moreover, it illustrates the importance of environmental factors and the role of policy in this area.

Abstract
The objective of the project Winfur (within WoodWisdomNet) was the industrial application of furfurylated wood in the window market. Because of promising results concerning the wood species European beech, common ash, radiata pine and Southern yellow pine it was decided to evaluate material from these species.The material exhibits promising wood water related behaviour. Coating tests showed the coatability with selected commercial products. Additionally, outdoor weathering tests were performed. It is also possible to produce 3-layer scantlings with common gluing systems like PVAc. The resistance against wood destroying fungi increased in a way that the material is suitable for the window application. Different investigations were performed to test the furfurylated material and the results are satisfying.The last step in the project was the production of prototypes for different investigations. The window companies reported no differences between using furfurylated wood compared to untreated wood within the production of the windows. The tests of full scale window prototypes according to seven test standards, e.g. repeated opening and closing and water tightness against driving rain were performed.The production and standardised testing of full-scale window prototypes indicates that the use of furfurylated wood will not cause any problems with fulfilling the criteria for the Scandinavian P-mark and the German RAL certificate. The overall conclusion is that furfurylated wood material is suitable for the window production.
