HARVESTING POTENTIAL AND PROCUREMENT COSTS OF LOGGING RESIDUES IN SWEDEN

• The aim of this study was (i) to provide an estimation of the potential amount of logging residues (branches, tops and stumps with attached root system) that will be produced in Sweden (thinning and regeneration fellings) during the next decade (2010-2019) and (ii) calculate the costs for harvesting the residue, comminute it and bring it to the end user. Depending on the level of ecological, technical and economical restrictions the potential amount of slash (branches, tops and stumps) in regeneration fellings varied from 3.2 to 7.4 Mt OD annually while the potential amount (Mt OD) of stumps varied from 4.2 to 11.7 annually. The corresponding annual figures in thinning for slash and stumps were 1.7 to 3.9 and 1.8 to 5.7 Mt OD annually, respectively. 80% of the potential amount of slash and stumps at level 3 of ecological, technical and economical restrictions in regeneration fellings would be available for 85 EUR/ODT and 110 EUR/ODT, respectively
