Biomass Logs/Bush Grinding

This project involved transporting uneconomic fibre to a variety of secondary fibre users in the Southern Interior to avoid pile burning emissions and improve fibre utilization. Most of the fibre was ground or utilized as biologs. The project enabled fibre that would typically be burnt in slash piles to be moved in the form of biologs to a central location for grinding and/or bush grinding. The end product fibre was moved to the Domtar pulp mill for energy and pulp production. A percentage of biologs were chipped at the River City chipper for use at the Domtar Pulp Mill for pulp production. The avoidance of pile burning resulted in fewer greenhouse gas emissions and contributed to the achievement of B.C.'s and Canada's climate change targets.
