Biomass energy supports the agricultural and forest industries. The main biomass feedstocks for power are
paper mill refuse, lumber mill scrap, forest clearance, the debris from tree pruning, etc. Also, cleaning and
clearing forest reduces the risk of forest fires. Under the framework of the Kyoto Agreement, the generation of
electricity from biomass does not compute in terms of emissions, as the process involves the release of carbon
previously fixed in the atmosphere by photosynthesis.

A renewable, sustainable resource. A positive impact in moderating global climate change (burn cleanly with
low sulfur emissions) . Favorable policies support biomass power generation. Biomass one of the few renewable
technologies that can provide competitively priced electricity today. Most biomass power generation plants
utilize the same technology with coal fired power plants. Cost of power generation from biomass on a
decreasing trajectory mainly due to improvements in the technology.

Calibration of Weighing Equipment. The standard of static weighing facilities can vary considerably
depending on such factors as the location, maintenance level and general condition of the facility. This
survey will ensure that a detailed report is produced to reflect conditions at the time of usage and that
every precaution had been taken to produce an accurate weight. We insist that recognized test weights
be utilized and that documentation verifying the last official calibration of the facility be made available
for inspection.
Heap Leach.
Leach. Is a laboratory scale column test used to simulate and calculate the reagent usage and

Granulometry. Is more simply explained when described as particle sizing and wood chips paper.
Granulometry testing is determined by placing samples through standardized sieves. The apertures can
have either square or round holes. They are normally used to determine whether a product is within a
given size specification.
Gross Sample. Also known as the bulk sample. A composite of all increment samples or all sub samples.

Moisture determination. This survey will give guidance prior to shipment of the general condition of the
material. If required a sample can be drawn to produce an approximate analysis. This type of survey is
often essential in new markets.

Prepared Sample. The final analysis sample prepared by appropriate means such as drying, mixing,
reducing, crushing, grinding etc. and then properly apportioned for sealing.
Ultimate Analysis. The ultimate of a wood chips expressed in terms of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen,
sulphur and oxygen. The analysis refers to the material only and hence is often expressed on a dry ash

Bills of Lading. The bill of lading acts as a receipt for the goods taken on board the vessel and provides
information as to the nature, quantity and description of those goods. It is evidence of a contract of
carriage between the shipper and the carrier wherein the carrier has agreed to transport the goods by sea
from one place to another. It gives title to the goods and means that it can be given to the carrier in
exchange for possession of the goods. Bills of Lading are normally issued in duplicate or triplicate.
However, it has become customary for all originals to be handed to the shipper in order to reduce the risk
of one of the originals falling into the wrong hands, as previously advised an original B/L gives title to the
goods. Once an original B/L has been surrendered and the goods have been obtained, any remaining B/Ls
become void and useless.
Condition Survey. This survey will ensure that the vessel, barge that you intend to use fulfils its
technical and maritime requirements and is fit for purpose.

Draft Surveying/Barge Gauging. One of the most well established methods of calculating the weight of
cargo. We has many years experience and a wide range of technical resources to draw upon to ensure
that clients receive a precise, high quality service. Similarly, our Barge Gauging Services determine the
quantity of cargo loaded or discharged.
Hold Cleanliness Inspection. This inspection is performed to determine whether the holds are clean,
dry and free of previously shipped cargo. Each hold should be individually inspected, accepted or rejected
by the attending surveyor. The holds should be free of odour, without paint peeling or heavy rust that
could flake into the cargo designated for loading. All accessible areas of the hold and hatch covers should
be thoroughly examined, as previously shipped commodity could remain in hard reach areas.

Hold Condition Survey. Thorough inspection of the cargo compartment and the hatch covers to
determine its suitability for the carriage of the proposed cargo and that the specified requirements of the
customer for cleanliness are met. Inspection of the compartment for any damage in order to prevent harm
to the cargo and to prevent claims against the customer for damage that is not attributable to him.
Marine Cargo Surveying. Goods and financial interests in maritime transport are subject to damages
and losses for many reasons. Our experts can protect your interests as they secure your rights to
compensation for damages to goods, or if your financial interests are threatened.

Biomass Wood Chips
BRASIL BIOMASSA E
ENERGIA RENOVÁVEL

Biomass fuel comes from a renewable, sustainable resource base. Fossil fuels will eventually run
out, but with proper forestry practices, the biomass resource base can be sustained indefinitely.

Biomass Wood Chips prices have been stable historically and are not directly linked to national or
global energy markets. Biomass fuels can be expected to increase in price more slowly than
competing fuels. Over the last 15-20 years biomass prices have stayed level.

Biomass Wood Chips systems are often capable of giving higher levels of comfort at a lower energy
cost. Because biomass fuels are very inexpensive, many building owners feel they can now afford
comfortable building temperatures in winter weather. With higher-priced conventional fuels, owners
often reduce temperatures or reduce ventilation to save money.

Future energy taxes, such as a carbon tax or a Btu


tax, are less likely to impact the price of biomass
fuels compared to fossil fuels. In national policy
discussions, energy taxes generally give preference
to renewable, locally supplied fuels that do not lead
to global warming.

Biomass has a negligible sulfur content, so its


combustion does not contribute to the atmospheric
buildup of oxides of sulfur (SOx), a cause of acid
rain. When biomass is burned for energy, using
wood from sustainable forestry practices, there is no
net increase in the greenhouse gases that cause
climate change when biomass replaces fossil fuels,
there is a net reduction in greenhouse gas
emissions.

Using wood wastes from sustainable forestry as fuel
increases the health of the forest resource. Brazil
Biomass are looking for new markets for low-grade
wood wastes from the forest, as a way to remove cull
trees and improve forest health.

Biomass systems are relatively easy to convert to other


fuels and so offer great flexibility for an uncertain
energy future. Solid-fuel systems, particularly those
made to burn chunky fuels like wood chips, can readily
be converted to burn almost any other fuel.

The greatest environmental benefit of burning wood for energy is


in its positive impact in moderating climate change. CO2 buildup in
the atmosphere is the primary cause of global climate change.
Fossil fuel combustion takes carbon that was locked away
underground (as crude oil and gas) and puts it in the atmosphere
as CO2. When wood is burned, however, it recycles carbon that
was already in the natural carbon cycle. The net effect of burning
wood fuel is that no new CO2 is added to the atmosphere, as long
as the forests from which the wood came are sustainably
managed. Therefore, when wood replaces fossil fuel, the net
impact is to reduce CO2 levels in the atmosphere significantly.

As public consciousness and information about environmental and


resource issues increases, often see wood energy as an attractive
choice over fossil fuels.

The progress has been made, the 2010 target of 21 % renewable electricity for EU corresponding to 22.1 %
for EU15 will not be achieved under current policies and measures. Instead, currently implemented policies
will probably result in a share of between 18 % and 19 % in 2010. It has been identified that the main
reason why the target is not being achieved is because the production of electricity from biomass has not
been as high as initially foreseen.
The United Kingdom is seeking to reduce its carbon footprint to meet its obligations under both the
European Union (EU) and the Kyoto Protocol. The EU has set a goal of reducing energy consumption in its
member states by 20 percent. It also intends to have biofuels make up 10 percent of all transportation fuels
by 2020. Under the Kyoto Protocol, the country has agreed to reduce its 1990 carbon emissions by 12.5
percent by 2012, and it is on track to meet that goal. Imports will continue to be an important part of the
strategy, especially for transport fuels and biomass cofired with wood chips for electricity production.
Currently, the UK imports the equivalent of 54 terawatt-hours of biomass for energy production. This is
more than half of the country’s potential biomass production under the biomass strategy. Imports of
biomass and biofuels are expected to increase.
The principal economic advantage of wood-chip SPE Santa
Catarina Brazil is that their fuel is considerably less
expensive than competing fuels. This means that wood-
chip systems offer greater security from future fuel price
shocks. Also, as a locally produced, renewable fuel, wood
chips can offer both environmental and local economic
benefits that other fuels cannot match. More details visit
