Biomass

No part of a tree procured by Ledcor is left to waste. This means even twigs and bark are ground or chipped into biomass products, such as wood chips and biofuel/hog fuel.
 
We use company-owned harvesting, grinding and chipping machinery, along with trucks and barges to process and transport our biomass products to the end-users.
 
Wood Chips
  • Work with local logging contractors to debark low-value SPF (spruce, pine and fir) logs.
  • Arrange for logs to be sent to chippers (the bark is stripped off and used  for biofuel).
  • Transport chips by truck and barge to clients like Howe Sound Pulp and Paper, where they are processed into kraft pulp.
Biofuel
  • Work with local logging contractors to arrange roadside grinding of residuals (broken stems, waste branches, etc.).
  • Schedule and transport grinders to sites to turn debris piles into biofuel.
  • Transport biofuel by trucks and barge to clients like Howe Sound Pulp and Paper, where it’s burned to produce electrical power.

Project Profile

Silverdale Reload Facility

Mission, British Columbia

At Ledcor’s Silverdale Reload Facility we transfer biomass products (created in the forest with the company-owned harvesting, grinding and chipping machinery) from trucks to barges.

Ledcor owns both a fleet of  trucks and multiple barges to transport our biomass products to the end users.
