Canadian Biomass and Canadian Forest Industries are turning the spotlight on biomass harvesting. For five days – Feb. 12-16, 2024 – we’ll dive into the world of logging, chipping, grinding and transporting woody biomass.
Stay tuned to this landing page and our social media (#BiomassHarvestingWeek) for the latest stories and videos throughout the week.
Our Biomass Harvesting Week landing page is a year-round hub for industry and curious minds to learn best practices and find the latest information on harvesting forestry biomass.
Thanks to our 2023 sponsors below. Interested in sponsoring in 2024? Reach out to Rebecca Lewis: rlewis@annexbusinessmedia.com.
