The choice of an ‘optimal’ form of transport for a planned bioenergy plant is not always straightforward, and will depend on whether the enterprise already transports, e. g., pulp chips, whether all transport is to be outsourced, and whether a small or large scale operation is planned. However, some consistencies in making a rudimentary evaluation do exist. If the conversion plant is to be located alongside an existing sawmill in a plantation area, it could be acceptable to use an off-road agricultural tractor/trailer system where the typical distance is under 15 km, while if the intention is to supply a central heating plant in the next city, sophisticated haulers are required. Transport distance is not the only important factor in making the decision on how to invest. In the case below, we will show how factors like loading and unloading (terminal time), load capacity, moisture content, delivered energy price, and investment costs bear influence on a good economic solution. One solution can never be optimal for the diversity of sites encountered in forestry; however, a good solution should perform well on average.
