[Stoves] Bark and its uses

[IPC]

"We have burned plantation residues in industrial boilers in New Zealand. In
order to make a clean fuel the nutrient laden bark, limbs and branches are
pretty well stripped and left in the soil. I think that amounts to about 20%
of the total biomass." Tom

One of our paper companies had a problem with a large dump of pine bark,
which was decaying slowly and anaerobically and giving off lots of methane.
It adapted its boilers to use the bark as fuel, displacing previously used
coal, and was able to claim a double whammy carbon credit - for the methane
stopped and coal not burned - which made the project have a 9 month payback.
