Modern sawmills are highly efficient, process-driven facilities, where unplanned interruptions to operations can have a significant impact on production yields. A critical part of their process efficiency is the byproduct

The steel industry is facing mounting pressure to reduce its environmental impact and embrace more sustainable production methods, including the need to develop and commercialize new low-carbon technologies. According to the European Commission’s EU Science Hub, traditional steel manufacturing is responsible for around five percent of CO² emissions in the EU and seven percent globally.

The role of woodyards is reaching a critical juncture. For a papermill, raw material is the biggest cost, and this is beginning to increase. Power plants have discovered co-firing as an effective way to offset their use of coal, with some switching to biomass entirely. Meanwhile, there is increasing demand for biomass-derived fuels throughout the transport sector; all competing for feedstocks of sustainably sourced processed wood and wood waste.
