Development of a harvesting machine for short rotation plantations for the production of billets with advantageous properties in terms of handling, drying and storing (BilletPro)

Start date: Mar 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

...ectly chop the wood into chips which are then combusted in CHP plants. However, the chipping leads to losses of up to 30 % of the energy content due to microbial degradation of the wood during drying.SalixEnergi Europa AB has developed an innovative new harvesting technology which enables a fast drying of the wood without any losses of the energy content. The rods are cut into pieces with a length ...

Automatic harvesting system for SRC nurseries (ROD-PICKER)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

Biomass is increasingly being seen as an important energy resource for Europe. However, due to sustainability requirements the biomass which can be harvested from European forests has only a limited growth potential. Therefore, the political focus has changed to the production of fast growing wooden biomass (Short-Rotation-Coppice (SRC) or Short-Rotation-Plantations (SRPs) on agricultural lands in ...
