  • Biomass Energy
  • Forestry Operations
CONT

New consideration is being given to the potential utilization of surplus forest biomass as a clean and renewable alternative to fossil fuels for the generation of energy. A number of recent studies have examined the potential for the utilization of otherwise non-merchantable round wood and forest harvest residuals as feed stock for energy conversion plants ... In addition to non-merchantable materials resulting from harvest activities, other sources of woody biomass could include stems taken from pre-commercial thinning in young forests and by-product residuals from forest product manufacturing operations such as shavings and saw dust.

CONT

[...] nous avions mis en place et développé cette technologie pour transformer la biomasse forestière excédentaire en méthanol ou en carburant qui pourrait servir à affranchir le secteur des transports de l'importation de carburant et qui en même temps permettrait une meilleure utilisation de nos parterres de coupe.

OBS

Les résidus de coupe, les résidus d'usinage ainsi que la biomasse des arbres marchands non exploités et des tiges non marchandes sont des exemples de biomasse forestière excédentaire.
