PhD student Swastika Chakravorty presents results on the societal value of bioenergy harvesting in birch mixed forests.
Early thinning of silver birch is necessary for good stand development, but the thinned stems are not always harvested due to high extraction costs and uncertain market returns. This webinar presents a framework that combines market revenues with non-market externalities to assess whether harvesting small-diameter birch for bioenergy is societally preferable to thinning-to-waste over a full rotation, and identifies the conditions under which bioenergy from small-diameter stems mobilisation is both economically and ecologically justified.
The presentation is held by Swastika Chakravorty, PhD student in energy engineering at Luleå University of Technology and within Trees For Me.
