Renewable Energy Magazine: Since the global increase in energy use is showing few signs of slowing down, sustainable energy solutions have to be developed. For this reason, the energy of biomass has to be used more widely and more efficiently. In forests all over the world a huge amount of logging residue is left lying idle and the bioenergy unused. This could be changed by using Obey, a procedure for optimising bioenergy yield, based on long, Nordic traditions. Obey is an acronym for
“Optimising the bioenergy yield”, referring to biomass used for producing energy. Walki, the leading producer of technical laminates and protective packaging materials, has a long experience of close co-operation with the forest industry and is familiar with the advantages that the procedure behind Obey brings. In order to promote the efficient use of wooden biomass globally, Walki is now launching the Obey website. “Obey is about using the full energy potential of logging residue and the trees cut down when thinning out forests. The first step is to let the residue and trees dry in the forest before they are chipped and transported. It’s a law of nature that the energy yield increases significantly if you completely dry the material before burning it, compared with burning damp wood,” explains Walki’s Arno Wolff, Vice President Sales & Marketing, Technical Products.
