Additional info
Our production site can store up to 150,000 tonnes of logs and 25,000 tonnes of wood chip and bark, and the deep-water berth allows the potential for vessels sized from 2,000 tonnes to 45,000 tonnes to discharge or load. The large storage space allows the wood to be purchased and stored over a period of many months, meaning that the wood is dried naturally to any desired moisture content, using no additional energy. This, along with our predominately hydro powered electrical cutter, makes our wood chip a very low carbon footprint product.
The timber used in the production is energy grade wood, considered a by-product from the forestry industry. Bent or narrow logs, cuttings and other residues unsuited for production of planks and building materials are dried naturally and used for energy purposes. Several larger heat and power plants in Denmark are transitioning from fossil coal to renewable energy, and wood chips from Statkraft is an important contribution to emission cuts in this sector.

Assessment
This section contains a brief assessment of the FEFTS described.
There are 3 basic categories: General, Environmental and Socioeconomic assessment.
The purpose of this assessment is to give a quick overview to the potential FEFTS user of its application benefits.
For each question, the Likert scale is used with the following possible answers:
Strongly disagree, Disagree, Neither agree nor disagree (Neutral)/non applicable, Agree, Strongly agree
General
This FEFTS contributes to improve the energy profiles of farming systems:Environmental
The application of this FEFTS directly reduces fossil energy use, in terms of:- Buildings electricity consumption
- Buildings heat use
Socioeconomic
The application of this FEFTS contributes to cost reductions of farming systems:Keep in mind that this assessment is subjective, based on publicly available information.
All registered users are asked to evaluate each FEFTS and when an adequate number of reviews is gathered the results depicted here are updated. Each review is screened in order to avoid malicious practices.
FEFTS providers who do not agree with the assessment results, can send their inquiry to info@agrofossilfree.eu and a direct action based on their petition will be taken.
