Transpirational drying and costs for transporting woody biomass - a preliminary review. In: Proceedings of IEA/BA Task IX, Activity 6: Transport and Handling; 1994 May 16-25; New Brunswick, Canada.

Description: High transport costs arc a factor to consider in the use of forest residues for fuel. Costs can be reduced by increasing haul capacities, reducing high moisture contents, and improving trucking efficiency. The literature for transpirational drying and the economics of hauling woody biomass is summarized here. Some additional, unpublished roundwood and chipdrying test results are also included.
