"We have burned plantation residues in industrial boilers in New Zealand. In order to make a clean fuel the nutrient laden bark, limbs and branches are pretty well stripped and left in the soil. I think that amounts to about 20% of the total biomass." Tom
One of our paper companies had a problem with a large dump of pine bark, which was decaying slowly and anaerobically and giving off lots of methane. It adapted its boilers to use the bark as fuel, displacing previously used coal, and was able to claim a double whammy carbon credit - for the methane stopped and coal not burned - which made the project have a 9 month payback.
