Rezumat:
         Uscarea este un pas important in prelucrarea multor produse, in special a lemnului. Peste 50 sau 100 de ani energia va deveni mult mai scumpa, emisiile de carbon vor deveni un produs, un mediu curat va deveni ceva obligatoriu, iar cererea de lemn uscat de calitate va creste. Modul in care acesti factori afecteaza cercetarea si cum ar putea arata uscarea lemnului in viitor ca rezultat al acestora, vom discuta in continuare.

Cuvinte cheie: uscarea lemnului, cercetare, energie, mediu, adaptare
