Biomass Removal & Chipping

Professional biomass removal and chipping, helping maximise the use of forestry material.

Efficient Forestry Biomass Recovery

Roland Forestry provides biomass removal and chipping as part of its wider forestry harvesting operations. By combining harvesting, extraction and biomass processing, we can efficiently recover suitable biomass material once harvesting operations are completed.

Our approach has been developed to allow biomass to be extracted and chipped with a minimal drying period, without requiring additional infrastructure or causing damage to forest road infrastructure.

Adding Value to Forestry Biomass

Biomass material that previously had little or no commercial value can be recovered and processed as part of the harvesting operation.

Removing this material can also eliminate the need to windrow it, potentially reducing costs and freeing up additional ground for replanting. Roland Forestry estimates that removing windrowed biomass can allow up to 15% more trees to be planted on a site, creating additional potential timber production in future thinning and clearfell operations.

A Complete Forestry Operation

Roland Forestry's involvement in both harvesting and biomass removal allows these operations to be planned together.

This integrated approach can help optimise the extraction of biomass following harvesting, while making better use of forestry material and the available site area.

Biomass Removal / Chipping General FAQ's

What is biomass removal?

Biomass removal involves recovering suitable forestry material generated during harvesting operations and processing it for use as biomass.

When is biomass removed?

Roland Forestry can remove and process biomass once harvesting operations have been completed, using an approach designed to minimise the required drying period.

Does biomass removal require additional forest infrastructure?

Roland Forestry's approach is designed to extract and chip biomass without requiring additional infrastructure or causing damage to forest road infrastructure.

What are the benefits of removing forestry biomass?

Removing biomass can add value to material that previously had little or no value, reduce the need for windrowing and make additional ground available for planting.
