Ask almost any logger about the potential of biomass and a high-interest response usually follows, along with concerns about efficiently integrating biomass into existing operations and collecting, processing and hauling it cost-effectively.
Addressing these concerns are Komatsu Forest and one of its key western dealers, Modern Machinery, which are bringing leading-edge European biomass technology and concepts to North American logging sites. Late last November loggers were invited to observe equipment at a biomass harvesting demo in Idaho that won’t be completed until spring.
