REF imported hardwood cord

[mendiplogs]

HI ALL ref imported hardwood cord is it carbon neutral fuel when its shipped miles around the world and what do you all think about this. and should the customer be aware of this yes/no and all our cord is foc cord thanks all jon

sea freight isnt considered in UK CO2 emmision calculations so essentially if it comes in by sea there isnt an associated CO2 ammount with it, hence being able to bring timber into Drax etc and keeping CO2 figures low for UK power generation

You would be surprised I think at just how fuel efficient a ship is - cannot recall figures accurately but 2000 tonne of cargo can be moved at about 10 knots ( 240 miles per day) for about 5000l of diesel

 

In round figures that is 100 truck loads - no idea what a loaded wagon burns but suspect it will not make 240 miles on 50 litres - ready to be corrected though.

 

Cheers
