Fuel Use Reduction and Economic Savings from Optimization of Road Transportation of Coniferous Roundwood

open access: yesEnergies, 2023
One of the 10 priorities of the Green New Deal is sustainable transportation. It should be considered in the perspective of long-term ecological and economic sustainability, according to the trend of opportunities for sustainable development.

Reference Measurement of Roundwood by Fringe Projection [PDF]

open access: yesForest Products Journal, 2021
Abstract The metrological verification of log scanners requires logs with accurately known dimensions as test objects. The measurement of the lengths and diameters must be traceable back to the SI (International System of Units) unit of length. The results have to be reported with the corresponding measurement uncertainties.

LiDAR as a Tool for Assessing Timber Assortments: A Systematic Literature Review

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Forest ecosystems strongly contribute to the mitigation of climate change impacts through the carbon stored in forests and through harvested wood products, such as sawed wood and furniture, which are obtained from many types of timber assortments. Timber

The economic potential of semi-automated tele-extraction of roundwood in Sweden

open access: yesInternational Journal of Forest Engineering, 2022
The mechanization of roundwood harvesting in Sweden has historically cut costs rapidly. However, machinery and work methods have conceptually stayed the same since the introduction of the single-grip harvester. Current trends indicate that the next major

Fuel Consumption, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and Energy Efficiency of Wood-Harvesting Operations: A Case Study of Stora Enso in Finland

open access: yesCroatian Journal of Forest Engineering, 2022
The EU’s climate and energy framework and Energy Efficiency Directive drive European companies to improve their energy efficiency. In Finland, the aim is to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035. Stora Enso Wood Supply Finland (WSF) had a target, by 2020, to

An Optimization Approach to Assess the Impact of Drying and Dry Matter Losses of Eucalyptus globulus Roundwood and Biomass on Supply Chains Costs and GHG Emissions

open access: yesForests, 2022
In-forest drying of roundwood and biomass (residues) can result in more efficient transport operations from an economical and environmental perspective. On the negative side, in-forest drying may result in dry matter losses (DML), impacting the quantity ...

Estimation of conversion factors for wood stacks in landings and their influencing parameters: a comprehensive literature review for America and Europe

open access: yesSilva Fennica, 2023
In commercial transaction of stacked roundwood, the estimation of the stack net volume plays a key role. One generalized method to determine the net volume is using conversion factors that relate the gross and net volumes.

The Legal Roundwood Market in the Amazon and Its Impact on Deforestation in the Region between 2009–2015

open access: yesForests, 2022
Brazil is one of the largest producers of tropical wood in the world. Much of this wood is extracted from the Amazon region, especially in the state of Pará. Despite empirical knowledge, there is little information in the literature about the selectivity

Comparison of alternative roundwood pricing systems – a simulation approach

open access: yesSilva Fennica, 2015
In a closed market, roundwood buyers pricing system affect the roundwood flow from the stands to different roundwood users. If a buyer is capable to discriminate higher value stands from low quality stands better than its competitors, the buyer should be

Economic Impacts of Forest Storms—Taking Stock of After-Vaia Situation of Local Roundwood Markets in Northeastern Italy

open access: yesForests, 2021
Large timber availability after storms can lead to a drop in timber prices that can impact local markets. The Vaia storm, which occurred in Northeastern Italy at the end of October 2018, felled large volumes of timber, particularly spruce.
