Fibre Utilization Forest Carbon Initiative Projects

About this dataset
Fibre utilization projects aim to eliminate the practice of slash pile burning, while supporting the B.C. bioenergy and pulp/paper industry. Instead of burning wood waste in piles, this fibre can be transported off-site for use in short- (e.g. paper) and long-lived wood products (e.g. lumber) or used as a source of energy in place of fossil fuels. By making use of wood waste that would otherwise be burned, FCI fibre utilization projects lead to immediate GHG emission reductions and economic growth and diversification.
