TITAN Forest Residue Opportunity — Country Due Diligence
Czechia has a land area of 78,871 km² and is a 3-CAMPUS country under the TITAN 100 km planning model. All three CAMPUS are relevant to TITAN. Czechia has a large, actively managed forest economy distributed across the country and an exceptionally strong downstream wood-processing sector. Its 2.683 million ha forest base supports 18.1 TITAN clusters from primary forest residues alone, before the secondary wood markets are included.
| CZECHIA — INSTANT REVIEW | Resource | TITAN Clusters | Assessment |
| Public Forest | 70.8% of forest | 12.8 | Exceptional |
| Private Forest | 29.2% of forest | 5.3 | Strong additional supply |
| Primary Forest Residue | 2.683 million ha | 18.1 | Exceptional |
| Sawmill Residue | 5.340 Mt/year | 35.6 | Exceptional secondary market |
| Wood Manufacturing Residue | 2.492 Mt/year | 16.6 | Major industrial market |
| Park & Avenue | 1.780 Mt/year | 11.9 | Major distributed resource |
| Reclaimed Wood | 3.560 Mt/year | 23.7 | Exceptional circular resource |
| Secondary Resource | 13.172 Mt/year | 87.8 | Exceptional |
| Total Identified Opportunity | 15.882 Mt/year | 105.9 | ★★★★★ |
1. Country & CAMPUS Geography
Czechia covers 78,871 km².
Under the TITAN 100 km radius planning model:
CZECHIA = 3 CAMPUS
3 CAMPUS | 3 TITAN-relevant CAMPUS
Czechia is geographically well suited to the CAMPUS model. The country consists largely of uplands, basins and rolling terrain surrounded by forested mountain systems along much of its border.
The forest resource is not confined to a single remote region. It is distributed across Bohemia and Moravia, allowing all three CAMPUS areas to participate in the national TITAN programme.
The country’s dense road and rail system also creates strong logistics conditions for moving forest residues and downstream wood resources toward strategically located processing centres.
2. Primary Forest Opportunity
The Czech Ministry of Agriculture reports 2,683,138 ha of forest land in 2024. Forest area continues to increase gradually. (mze.gov.cz)
This forest base supports:
18.1 TITAN clusters
The ownership structure is particularly attractive.
The Ministry of Agriculture reports:
- Public forests: 70.8%
- Private forests: 29.2%
Public forest includes both state and municipal forests. State forests alone account for 53.74% of Czech forest stands, while municipal forests account for a further 17.09%. (mze.gov.cz)
| Forest Ownership | Share | TITAN Clusters |
| Public Forest | 70.8% | 12.8 |
| Private Forest | 29.2% | 5.3 |
| Total | 100% | 18.1 |
The strategic primary-market position is therefore:
12.8 clusters from public forest
This gives TITAN a strong route to establish national supply through state and municipal forestry bodies before expanding further into private forest.
The Czech forest floor should therefore remain the preferred primary supply position.
3. Sawmill Residues
Czechia has one of the stronger timber economies in Central Europe.
The Czech Ministry of Agriculture reports 17.80 million m³ of raw timber harvested in 2024. Of this volume, 15.67 million m³ was coniferous timber and 2.13 million m³ broadleaf. (mze.gov.cz)
The resulting sawmill residue market provides:
5.340 million tonnes/year
supporting:
35.6 TITAN clusters
This is a major national secondary market and substantially exceeds the primary forest-floor cluster count.
Sawmill residues therefore represent a strategic second supply layer immediately below the forest floor.
4. Wood Manufacturing Residues
Czechia has a substantial downstream wood-processing, furniture, construction-products and manufacturing economy.
The wood-manufacturing residue market provides:
2.492 million tonnes/year
supporting:
16.6 TITAN clusters
This resource is industrially concentrated and therefore attractive from a collection and logistics perspective.
Competition will be higher than at the forest floor, so TITAN should establish commercial positions within this market while maintaining primary forest residues as the preferred base supply.
5. Park & Avenue
Czechia’s municipalities, extensive road and rail networks, utility corridors, parks, urban forestry, river corridors and infrastructure maintenance generate a substantial non-forest woody-residue market.
The Park & Avenue resource provides:
1.780 million tonnes/year
supporting:
11.9 TITAN clusters
This is a material national supply pool rather than a marginal contingency market.
Because Czechia’s three CAMPUS areas encompass dense municipal and transport infrastructure, these distributed residues can be aggregated locally around individual CAMPUS developments.
6. Reclaimed Wood
Czechia’s mature industrial economy, construction sector, furniture market, pallet system and building stock create a significant reclaimed-wood resource.
The reclaimed-wood market provides:
3.560 million tonnes/year
supporting:
23.7 TITAN clusters
This is one of the country’s largest secondary TITAN resources.
It gives the Czech programme substantial circular-carbon depth beyond the active forestry and wood-processing industries.
7. Total TITAN Opportunity
Czechia’s primary forest resource supports:
18.1 TITAN clusters
The four secondary markets provide:
| Secondary Market | TITAN Clusters |
| Sawmill Residues | 35.6 |
| Wood Manufacturing Residues | 16.6 |
| Park & Avenue | 11.9 |
| Reclaimed Wood | 23.7 |
| Total Secondary | 87.8 |
The combined identified Czech resource therefore supports:
105.9 TITAN CLUSTERS
This is an exceptionally deep resource position within only three geographic CAMPUS.
The key investment point is not that Czechia should build 105 TITAN clusters. It is that a national programme operating across three CAMPUS areas would require only a limited share of the identified carbon resource.
Strategic Assessment
Czechia is a 3-CAMPUS country and all three CAMPUS are relevant to TITAN.
Its 2.683 million ha forest base supports 18.1 TITAN clusters, including 12.8 clusters attributable to public forest.
The country’s active timber economy materially strengthens the opportunity. Official 2024 timber harvest was 17.80 million m³, and the resulting sawmill, manufacturing, Park & Avenue and reclaimed markets add another 87.8 clusters. (mze.gov.cz)
The national identified opportunity therefore reaches:
105.9 TITAN clusters
Czechia combines substantial forest area, strong public ownership, high timber throughput, a developed wood-processing economy and three fully relevant CAMPUS areas.
The development strategy is therefore clear: establish the primary forest position through state and municipal forestry, place one CAMPUS across each of the three national operating geographies, and progressively capture sawmill, manufacturing, Park & Avenue and reclaimed wood streams.
