Assessment of the Amount of Coniferous Wood Waste in the Baltic States
Energy Procedia 2015
Indra Muižniece, Dagnija Blumberga

The study was conducted in order to ascertain whether there is a sufficiently large amount of coniferous wood residue in the Baltic States to make the investigation of the possibilities of its rational use as a raw material for production feasible. Greenery (fine branches and needles) is the least used portion of coniferous wood residues; consequentially, this study focuses on this part of forestry residues. Method of tree greenery weight per 1 m3 of tree trunk was used to determine the amount of coniferous greenery. The approximate amount of coniferous greenery, produced from logging in the Baltic countries, is determined. It constitutes about 700 thousand tons per year in the Baltic States. That is enough large volume to look for an application and start using this resource as a raw material in next researches.
