Forest-based bio/circular economy
Barbecue charcoal often reaches consumers via long transportation routes and from dubious sources. Locally produced charcoal from scrap sawmill or landscape wood would be much more ecological. A small retort with a capacity of 1m3 of wood and complete exclusion of oxygen can be used to convert local wood into high-quality charcoal. For this purpose, wood cuttings from a local sawmill or poor quality hardwood are manually fed into the retort and converted into coal of the highest quality over 4 - 8 hours. This can generate additional income on a forestry operation or a part-time farm and also reduce the burden on the environment. The waste heat can be used via a heat exchanger to heat living space or for drying processes, e.g. in the timber industry.

Cable yarding simulation

Austria
Switzerland
Harvesting, infrastructure, logistics
Advice and services for forest owners
Digital solution
Based on the forest digital twin, timber harvesting with a cable crane can be simulated. Working times, machine hours and the timber assortments produced are added up and displayed graphically. The results can be used to compare different variants of line layout and intervention strength and thus determine an optimum.

1.- Improve forest resilience and adaption to climate change

RED FAITH as a tool of digital forestry and development of forests

Forest management, ecosystem, resilience
Data platforms, data hubs
Digital solution
RED FAITH - Restoring Ecological Diversity of Forests with Airborne Imaging Technologies. Digital forestry: precision technology and knowledge for the development of forest aiming reduction of invasive species and analyzation of the surface. Due to the project the data collection was created with drones and based on the remote sensing datas the forest could be developed thus the forestry could be a service of the sustainability.
