ANALYSIS OF INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE TO EXPAND PRODUCTION AND SUPPLY OF WOOD CHIPS IN UKRAINE
Abstract
The prospectі of wider implementation of more powerful wood biomass projects in Ukraine will lead to an increased demand of wood chips, and its increased production is expected from logging residues, which now are almost unused, as well as the continuation and possible expansion of its production from logwood. When organizing the production and supply chains of wood chips, the advanced methods of timber harvesting and the possibility of their adaptation in Ukraine should be considered, as well as to increase economic efficiency of supply, taking into account the need to save wood chips fuel properties during storage, which requires proven methods of reducing of moisture content and preventing the dry matter loss. International experience shows that production, storage and supply methods of wood chips directly affect its quality and fuel characteristics, and its efficient use as fuel must be ensured by appropriate technical solutions of boiler equipment.
