Working Group 3
WG 3 will investigate the current forest biomass research methodologies including machine costing assumptions as well as data analysis methods in participating countries. The purpose is to a) survey; b) analyze, c) categorize and b) compare the different and numerous methods to determine machine costs and data analysis methodology approaches. The work package aims to develop a simple format for cost calculation (cost/hour) of forest machinery. Furthermore, the working group will ID the most suitable methodologies in forest operations research.
