Bioenergy Australia Webinar: Results of the First Large-Scale Trial of Fuel-Adapted Harvesting in Australia

There is increasing interest in Australia in the use of forest biomass to generate energy. Logging residues represent a large, underutilised potential source of forest biomass. However, current forest harvesting practices are not designed to facilitate the extraction of logging residues. To address this deficiency, a forest harvesting technique has been developed in Sweden (“fuel-adapted harvesting”) that involves piling residues during harvesting. The webinar will describe the results of the first large-scale trial of fuel-adapted harvesting in Australia, providing details on the differences in costs and productivity of the harvesting machines and the yields of logging residue between conventional harvesting and fuel-adapted harvesting approaches in a Pinus radiata clearfell operation.

Webinar on Monday 18 June from 12:00 – 13:00
