3 FORESTRY INDUSTRY AND FORESTRY TECHNOLOGY A natural growth market As the first link in the value-adding chain, the forestry sector forms one of the most important parts of LIGNA HANNOVER. The leading trade fair for the forestry and timber industries gives industry professionals a concentrated insight into innovative and sustainable forestry and energy technologies, and creates a display environment that is perfect for international networking. Display categories in 2011: Forestry and forestry technology Machinery, equipment, tools and other forestry aids New technologies and processes for the harvesting, recovery and transportation of timber Mobile sawmills Logistical and storage systems Information systems and communication Training for a career in forestry Mobile sawmills Manufacturers of stationary and mobile small-scale sawmills figure very prominently among the exhibitors this year. Demand for their products is increasing, driven by the prospect of low investment costs and the prospect of setting up one s own timber business. Potential buyers can choose from a wide range of technical solutions from the most basic mobile systems to stationary saws with a cutting capacity of more than 6,000 solid cubic metres/year. BIOENERGY FROM WOOD A natural source of energy With the expansion of the display category Bioenergy from wood LIGNA HANNOVER is responding to the growing demand for effective, future-proof solutions in the energy market. The aim is to secure supplies of wood and at the same time to conserve natural resources through sustainable forestry management. For manufacturers of woodworking machinery the focus is on reducing the consumption of energy and time. The Bioenergy section of the show in Hall 13, on the open-air site and in the pavilions beneath the Expo Canopy traces the complete value-adding cycle from the processing stage i.e. machines for splitting and cleaving wood, plant for making wood briquettes and pellets to wood-fired furnace systems and boiler plant. The focus is on showcasing new energy-saving initiatives in mechanical and plant engineering, the operation of bioenergy plant, storage and transport, consultancy and planning. Suppliers of readyto-run biomass power plants can also be seen at LIGNA HANNOVER. As well as thermal power plants the exhibits will also include complete wood pellet plants and plant for the production of thermal insulation materials made from wood fibres. A series of innovative special presentations on the open-air site and in the pavilions beneath the Expo Canopy completes the program. 4 5
