Whole Tree Chip Supply Chain 

With whole tree chipping there is the potential to recover the complete above ground biomass from the trees. This method leaves no material on the ground, and 100% of the tree is chipped. We say above ground because this method does not include the stump and root system which are below the ground.
This method fells trees without delimbing or cross-cutting them. The trees are left on the forest floor for a summer season to allow the trees to dry and the green needles to desiccate and drop off. A terrain chipping system is then used to chip the trees, and the chip transported from the forest to the end user. For more infromation please visit www.ForestEnergy.ie
