Biomass

Ensuring every felled tree is put to use.

No part of a tree procured by Ledcor is left to waste. This means even twigs and bark are ground or chipped into biomass products, such as wood chips and biofuel/hog fuel.

From start to finish.

We use company-owned harvesting, grinding, and chipping machinery, along with trucks and barges to process and transport our biomass products to the end-users.

We work hard to ensure that every inch of every tree is put to good use.

Wood Chips

Work with local logging contractors to debark low-value SPF (spruce, pine, and fir) logs
Arrange for logs to be sent to chippers (the bark is stripped off and used for biofuel)
Transport chips by truck and barge to clients like Howe Sound Pulp and Paper, where they are processed into kraft pulp

Biofuel

Work with local logging contractors to arrange roadside grinding of residuals (broken stems, waste branches, etc.)
Schedule and transport grinders to sites to turn debris piles into biofuel
Transport biofuel by trucks and barge to clients like Howe Sound Pulp and Paper, where it’s burned to produce electrical power
