Dear James
That is a very "site specific question." Depending on the
proposed scale of your operation, you would get far better information if you
could talk to local truckers and woods workers (for a smaller scale) or a local
trucking Association, if larger scale.
Costs will also vary, depending on whether you are hauling
tree length, 8' or chips.
Kindest regards,
Kevin Chisholm.

Subject: GAS-L: Transportation Cost and
Storage
I am examining the feasibility of constructing an
indirect fluidized bed gasifier and utilizing the gas for energy
production. I am looking for suggestions or rules of thumb
on estimating transportation costs of the wood feedstock. Also,
what are some common practices for storage of wood feedstock? The
project is in central Texas, we would like to take advantage of the sun to
help dry the feedstock.
Any help would be appreciated.
