The Ontario government is investing more than CAN$3m in initiatives to expand markets for forest biomass and strengthen supply chains across the province’s forest sector. Source: Panels & Furniture Asia The funding will support five projects, including new biomass energy facilities, technology that converts wood residues into coatings and inks, and a programme to connect privately owned forests with businesses seeking biomass. More than CAN$2.1m has been allocated to four projects through the Forest Sector Investment and Innovation Programme and the Forest Biomass Programme. The largest share, more than CAN$1.9m, will go to Ben Hokum and Son to install two biomass-assisted steam kilns. The investment is expected to triple the company’s lumber-drying capacity, improve efficiency and increase export sales by more than 30%. Ben Hokum and Son will receive a further CAN$100,000 to plan a biomass-powered facility that would generate electricity and thermal energy. The proposed facility would incorporate carbon capture and storage technology, with the goal of achieving net-negative emissions. Ontario is also providing CAN$87,500 to TorchLight Bioresources for a feasibility study into a combined heat and power plant in Petawawa. The proposed project would replace natural gas with energy generated from forest biomass. Carboform will receive CAN$62,500 to further develop technology that converts forest biomass residues into low-carbon coatings and inks. Together, the three biomass projects have the long-term potential to use more than 350,000 tonnes of forest biomass a year, according to the provincial government. A separate investment of CAN$865,000 will support the Ontario Woodlot Association in improving the management of privately owned forests and developing new supply chains for underused wood and mill by-products. Of this, CAN$790,000 from the Forest Biomass Program will support the association’s Wood Stewardship Program, including the creation of three jobs and the purchase of equipment. The programme will establish three regional networks linking landowners, forestry service providers and forest-sector businesses. It is expected to use up to 100,000 cubic m of forest biomass over five years. The biomass could be used in value-added products including biochar, compost and mulch. Additional revenue from underused wood could also help landowners offset the costs of forest management. The remaining CAN$75,000 will support workshops, conferences, publications and collaboration to promote sustainable forest management on private land. The funding will also help develop an inventory of private forests using remote-sensing technology. The investments form part of Ontario’s 10-year Roadmap to Protecting Ontario’s Forest Sector, which aims to strengthen the industry’s competitiveness, support innovation and develop new markets for Ontario-made forest products. “Our government is helping forest sector businesses build international reach and bring competitive products to market,” said Kevin Holland, Associate Minister of Forestry and Forest Products. “Under our forest sector roadmap, we’re driving the industry’s continued growth and showcasing Ontario’s capacity as a G7 leader in innovative manufacturing.” Ontario’s forest sector generates close to CAN$21bn in business revenue and supports nearly 155,000 jobs, according to the provincial government.

Ponsse has launched the Ponsse Wisent Thin Line and Ponsse Scorpion Thin Line forest machine models, which are optimized specifically for harvesting in thinning forests. Sales of the Thin Line versions will begin immediately and production at the Vieremä factory will begin later this year. Source: Timberbiz Ponsse Wisent Thin Line is a 10-ton forwarder designed for harvesting in thinning forests. The load space solution optimized for thinning makes working easier and makes the machine an agile choice for first thinning and other thinning sites. The lighter overall weight and lower ground pressures improve its suitability for harvesting in soft soils. The forwarder’s lighting has also been developed based on operator feedback. “Thinning operations emphasize the machine’s agility, visibility and ability to work efficiently in areas with limited space. We decided to optimize two of our popular forest machine models precisely for these needs. The new versions of Scorpion and Wisent offer our customers a ready-made solution for thinning work,” said Ponsse’s Sales, Service and Marketing Director Marko Mattila. Facts about Thin Line Wisent: Smaller and user-friendly load space optimized for thinning Excellent agility in thinning areas Low ground pressure for harvesting in soft ground due to lower overall weight Good balance and terrain characteristics on slopes and rocky construction sites Strong engine and good traction for demanding conditions High-quality audio system Improved, user-friendly lighting Renewed appearance.   The Scorpion Thin Line is based on the Scorpion harvester, whose strengths include excellent visibility of the working area, stable operation, and good crane reach and manoeuvrability. In the Thin Line version, the machine’s adjustments have been optimized especially for thinning operations to ensure the best possible fuel economy. The Ponsse H5 and new H6 harvester heads are available for the Scorpion Thin Line harvester. “Thinning is a key part of silviculture and the daily work of many of our customers. In thinning felling, the work trace is of great importance – it is influenced in particular by the driver’s professionalism, but the right choice of machine also plays a role. With the new Scorpion and Wisent versions, harvesting professionals have more diverse options than ever before,” said Mr Mattila. Facts about the Thin Line Scorpion: The best visibility and lighting for the work area on the market — the driver is truly at the centre Unique and patented leveling and stabilization system Powerful crane with precise control and long reach Optional Active Crane enables more productive and efficient crane control Cab that supports driver comfort and ergonomics Lower fuel consumption due to optimized settings for thinning Low surface pressures for harvesting soft ground High-quality audio system and sound reproduction Renewed appearance.
