Biomass Harvesting Week: What we learned
February 16, 2024

Canadian Biomass and Canadian Forest Industries teamed up to turn the spotlight on biomass harvesting across the country.
Canada is increasingly turning to biomass harvesting as a sustainable solution for energy production. Biomass, derived from organic materials such as wood, agricultural residues and forest residues, offers a renewable alternative to fossil fuels and contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
- Intersecting Industries: Here’s how Killaloe Wood Products, an Ontario grinding company, is supplying the landscaping world.
- The burning question: Five researchers identify potential management alternatives to slash pile burning that would make better use of residual fibre across a range of operational conditions in B.C.
- What to consider when sourcing grinders and chippers: Here’s a closer look at the key features and benefits of grinders and chippers in the Canadian biomass industry.
- B.C. logger weathers challenges by diversifying operations: Claude Paquet has seen it all. A veteran of the forestry industry, Paquet has been logging since 1971, when he got his start by selling his car for a skidder and hitchhiking to logging sites.
- Equipment spotlight: Canadian Forest Industries rounds up equipment advancements for reducing residuals in Canada’s forests.
Today is the final day of Biomass Harvesting Week 2024, but we’ll continue to archive future content on this landing page to serve as a year-round hub for industry and curious minds to learn best practices and find the latest information on harvesting biomass.
We’d once again like to thank our inaugural sponsors for making it all possible: Bandit Industries, CBI and Frontline Machinery.
