Integrated harvesting is similar to the standard roundwood harvesting method. The same machines types are used in both supply chains. One of the key differences in integrated harvesting is that at the planning stage it is known that woodfuel will be produced from some, or all of the wood recovered from the thinning. Because of this, it is not necessary to cut all the log lengths to standard sizes that are required by the sawmills / pulp mills. It is also not necessary to completely remove all the branches from the stem, only green foliage is removed as much as possible, the rest can be used as wood fuel. This method should recover significantly more biomass than the roundwood chip supply chain.



In this supply chain, the sawlog and/or stakewood is produced as normal for sale to the sawmills. The pulpwood part of the stem is crudely delimbed into variable lengths of around 4.3 m without a specified top diameter. This is the energy assortment for chipping.
