42 Whole-tree bundling Pulpwood bundles Energy wood bundles Sept. 2 nd, 2009 Kärhä: Supply Chains of Forest Chip Production in Finland 42

43 No universal supply system Several factors determine which forest chip supply system is used: Harvesting conditions, Roadside landing capacities, Road transportation distances, Operating volumes and storage capacities of energy plants, Availability of production machinery, The type of forest chips produced, and The total costs of supply systems. There is not any universal supply system! Sept. 2 nd, 2009 Kärhä: Supply Chains of Forest Chip Production in Finland 43

44 Future Prospects Sept. 2 nd,

45 Future Prospects I Increase in the supply volumes of forest chips means more intensified procurement: Harvesting operations for smaller and weaker sites. Longer transportation distances. Cost pressures for supply costs. Better management of supply chains and costs. Better quality management for forest chips. Sept. 2 nd, 2009 Kärhä: Supply Chains of Forest Chip Production in Finland 45

46 Future Prospects II Chipping will move from roadside locations closer to heating and power plants, partly to terminals, and partly directly to plants. More efficient long-distance transportation solutions are required. Rail transportation Water transportation Bundling. Status of terminals will be emphasized.
