| Abstract: | Three biomass chipping operations of roadside logging residues were studied in New Brunswick and Maine. Two of the operations used a skidder-loader to form the roadside debris into larger piles closer to the road edge prior to chipping. Average chipping productivity ranged from 8.l oven dry Mg per Productive Machine Hour (OdMg PMH−1) to 28.2 OdMg PMH−1 depending on the site and chipping system used. The average cost of chips on board the chip vans ranged from $15.29 CAN OdMg−1 to $25.86 CAN OdMg−1. The chips were transported to three energy plants in Maine. One-way hauling distances varied from 29 km to 105 km. |
