Comparison of Productivity and Cost between Two Integrated Harvesting Systems in South Korea

Abstract: Interest in the production of renewable energy using forest biomass is increasing in South Korea, and improved knowledge on operations logistics to lower biomass harvesting costs is needed. This study aimed to build a low-cost forest-biomass harvesting system by analyzing the costs of two integrated (cut-to-length and whole-tree) harvesting systems for logs and logging residues. Two integrated harvesting systems were carried out in the clear-cut mixed forest on a steep slope. Compared to the cut-to-length syst… Show more

“…The economic criteria, including cost of components and economic indicators of preparation, storage, and combustion, were better for slurries, too. The cost of the slurries under study was derived from the market prices of the components [59][60][61]. Using coal processing waste to produce slurries decreases the fuel cost up to sevenfold.…”

“…(19) Several previous studies have determined the performance of cable yarders to expand and improve the efficiency of wood production and supply chains in South Korea. (6,20,21) However, to our knowledge, none of the previous studies explicitly determined the physical workload of choker setters. Therefore, in this study we aimed to (1) determine HR and VO 2max variability for choker setters and the specific work process that incurs the highest workload, and (2) evaluate the total physical workload during cable yarding operations using a HAM300 tower yarder during the tree-length harvesting method.…”
