Mobilisation of forest biomass for energy production calls for a high level of integration with those forest industries that generate the raw materials (usually by-products of roundwood harvesting and wood processing). Integration of timber and energy supply chains helps overcome the challenge of seasonal fluctuations in energy demand, by offering greater and more consistent use of machine capacity. Quality management of harvested biomass has become a very important issue in recent years. As supply volumes have increased, the economic losses associated with poor storage management have become obvious. Energy yields per unit of delivered biomass can be maximised through careful establishment and location of storage, prediction and measurement of changing moisture content, as well as the ability to match supply with demand. Research shows that the use of biomass quality and location data to schedule wood chipping and transportation can markedly reduce the fleet size required to transport wood chips during periods of peak demand and the use of transport capacity through the year. Quality management becomes even more important when value-added products are made from biomass. Producers of higher-value end products are willing to pay a premium price for good quality feedstock and their needs should be considered when handling forest biomass, in order to gain and maintain a competitive advantage. Biomass projects should target areas where market-driven competitiveness is best and where economic sustainability can be achieved with modest incentives.
