The use of forest harvest residues for energy production - A way to reduce carbon emissions and increase economic opportunities.

不列颠哥伦比亚省的共同森林管理实践促进了森林采伐残留物的焚烧。随着加拿大政府承诺在《巴黎气候变化协定》框架内减少排放，这种做法可能不再是可接受的。与此同时，人们对使用收获残留物越来越感兴趣，例如用于生产固体燃料，如木屑颗粒。该项目将评估当前做法的生态和经济影响，包括分析因焚烧收获秸秆造成的温室气体排放，并将当前做法的后果与其他用途进行比较。

British Columbia's common forest management practices facilitate the burning of forest harvest residues. With the Government of Canada's committing to the reduction of emissions within the framework of the Paris climate change agreement, this practice may no longer be acceptable. Concurrently, there is a growing interest in using harvest residues, for example for the production of solid fuels, such as wood pellets.This project will assess the ecological and economic impact of current practices, including an analysis of greenhouse gas emissions caused by the burning of harvest residues, and compare the consequences of current practices with alternative uses.
