Abstract
The moisture content of fresh biomass is typically high, often varying between 50 % and 60 %, depending on the season, weather and type of biomass. Reducing the moisture content provides considerable benefits for combustion and can allow larger amounts of wood to be transported per load. Two systems exist for drying woody biomass: natural and artificial drying. AFORA has conducted several case studies concerning the natural drying process of logs and harvesting residues. This short review presents information concerning artificial drying practice in France that might be useful in some operations in Australia.
