Edmonton Short Rotation Woody Crop Demos Will Showcase On-site Processing Technology To Meet End User Needs

摘要

End users of wood fibre, whether it is pulp, oriented strand board, lumber, wood pellets, animal bedding, bioen-ergy, or advanced bio-based liquids and gases, need raw material with different physical characteristics as their feedstock.Natural Resources Canada's Canadian Wood Fibre Centre (CWFC) is hosting a series of field demonstrations over the next four months of technology that shows industry what on-site processing options are available to them from wood grown through afforestation under high-yield (14+m3/ha/yr MAI) and short rotation (3-17 years) scenarios. The goal is to evaluate how to minimize supply chain costs while providing end users with raw material that meets their specific characteristic requirements, all under veryshort time frames (less than 20 years).
