将木材转化为化学品，用于生产我们大多数的合成塑料、纤维和橡胶，在技术上是可行的。随着技术的改进，利用木材的所有成分生产乙醇（进一步加工成乙烯和丁二烯）、苯酚和糠醛的大型综合工厂在目前的石化价格下也将接近经济可行性。如果原油价格继续以比木材成本更快的速度攀升，那么从木材中提取聚合物的化学品的经济可行性将变得确定。虽然技术上的可行性尚未确定，但木材液化产生的合成油可以作为原料，与目前使用的原油一样，用于裂解成化学品。以木材为原料满足我们对聚合物的所有需求不应给我们的木材供应带来不可能的负担，但实际上可能会通过使用价值较低的木材来改善木材，胶合板和纸浆的可用性，从而允许重新造林和改善森林管理。
The conversion of wood into chemicals for the production of most of our synthetic plastics, fibers, and rubbers is technically feasible. With refinements in technology a large integrated plant utilizing all components of the wood for production of ethanol (to be further processed to ethylene and butadiene), phenols and furfural would be approaching economic feasibility as well at current petrochemical prices. If crude oil prices continue to climb at a faster rate than wood costs, the economic feasibility of chemicals for polymers from wood would become certain. Although technical feasibility has not been established, synthetic oils from liquefaction of wood might serve as feedstocks for cracking to chemicals in the same way that crude oil is presently used. The fulfillment of all our polymer needs from wood as a raw material should not place an impossible burden on our wood supply, but might actually improve the availability of wood for lumber, plywood and pulp by providing a use for less valuable wood which would allow reforestation and improved forest management.
