Abstract
The CRC for Forestry's 'harvesting and operations' program has conducted several studies examining the harvesting residues left on-site after conventional pulpwood and sawlog harvesting in Australian pine and eucalypt plantations. These studies (Bulletins 15, 16, 18, 19 and 23) indicated that in some operations and stands, the level of residual logs and branches left on the site was high, and could be considered as a potential resource for bioenergy generation. A preliminary cost analysis by the CRC for Forestry has shown that integrated harvesting methods (biomass combined with industrial wood recovery) are a viable option to recover these residues. This bulletin contains technical and economic information about suitable forwarder bin designs used overseas for extracting harvesting residues, and their potential application in Australia.
