- Abstract
- Case studies of mountain forest wood fuel supply chains from Norway and Italy are presented
and compared. Results from previous studies in which greenhouse gas emissions
and costs were evaluated using life cycle assessment and cost analysis respectively, are
compared. The supply chain is more mechanized in Norway than Italy. Steeper terrain and
low road density partly explain the persistence of motor-manual felling in the Italian case.
Mechanized forest harvesting can increase productivity and reduce costs, but generates
more greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than motor-manual harvesting. In both cases, the
main sources of GHG emissions are truck transportation and chipping. The total emissions
are 22.9 kg CO2/m3s.o.b. (Norway) and 13.2 kg CO2/m3s.o.b. (Italy). The Norwegian case has
higher costs than the Italian one, 64 V/m3s.o.b. and 41 V/m3s.o.b. respectively, for the
overall supply chain. The study shows that mountain forests constitute an interesting
source for fuel biomass in both areas, but are a rather costly source, particularly in Norway.
The study also exemplifies the care needed in transferring LCA results between regions and
countries, particularly where forest biomass is involved. (literal)
