Windrowing and fuel-chip quality of residual forest biomasses in northern Sweden

摘要: ABSTRACTUtilization of forest residual biomasses, including logging residues (LR) and whole tree-parts (WT), in Fennoscandia is expected to increase response increases demand from the bioeconomy. LR WT are often seasoned windrows at roadsides, more knowledge (prior comminution) their dry mass content would be highly useful for logistic planning value estimations. Therefore, we have described compared windrow fuel-chip quality storage conditions delivered one season same energy plant by supplier. A total 76 northern Sweden were surveyed chipped 25 also sampled assess moisture (MC), ash (AC) particle size distribution. The mean MC (45%) did not significantly differ between WT, but varied substantially within sites. fuel-chips had higher AC than (2.4% vs. 1.5%) two-fold proportions fines oversized fractions (12.2 5.8% 2.2 1.1%, r...
