Foreword

Ireland’s forest sector is a success story, employing 16,000 people across the state. It comprises a vibrant forest products sector, with state-of-the-art boardmills and sawmills, exporting a high proportion of output. Considerable potential exits to expand production; half the forest estate is less than 25 years old, and further expansion of forest cover is planned. Realising the potential of forests to provide increased and sustainable supplies of goods and services to industry and wider society depends on a number of factors, including accurate and timely information on their production potential. Over the past eighteen months a COFORD Roundwood Supply Group has been working to collate information on the production potential of forests here in the Republic and in Northern Ireland. This report is the outcome of their work, and provides a comprehensive and regional basis for roundwood production to 2028. I very much welcome the outcomes of the work presented in these pages. They provide a very good basis for decision making, and will help to guide prudent investment by the private sector over the coming decade. In essence the report shows that over the period to 2028 the production capacity of Ireland’s forests will almost double to 7 million cubic metres, from the current 3.79 million. Almost all of the increase in supply is set to come from privately-owned forests in the Republic - those areas established over the past 25 years on foot of state/EU and private sector investment. Considerable scope exists to expand wood energy production, and this is in addition to supplies for sawmilling and board manufacture. Making the potential in this report a reality will require significant investment by the forest industry and the state in training, infrastructure, IT and research. I am confident that the capacity and determination exists in the forest sector to bring these results about. In conclusion, I want to thank all those involved in the compilation of the report, those from Glennon Brothers, UCD, Coillte, the Northern Ireland Forest Service, The Irish Timber Growers Association, Teagasc and officials of my own Department.

Preface

Tight control of costs, allied to investment in innovation are key to maintaining and increasing the competitiveness of the forest sector in Ireland. At the processing end, converting roundwood into increasingly sophisticated products and systems requires a close match between customer demand and what is available in the forest. Reliable information on the location and quantity of roundwood available to market is a vital component in planning not only day-to-day harvest schedules, but in longer term planning and in scaling innovation effort and capital investment. The COFORD Roundwood Supply Group has been able over the past eighteen months to develop significantly better information on the location and quantity of roundwood supply to 2028. One of the most important aspects of the work has been a critical appraisal of the level of supply that is likely to come to market, taking into account issues such as harvest loss, access and plantation size. We are glad that all sectors have now accepted that for those critically important investment and planning decisions a new concept, net realisable volume, is accepted in production forecasting. It is acknowledged that the overall production potential of the forest resource considerably exceeds the net realisable volume level; however, experience and available information show that the net realisable volume itself has never been achieved to date. This document provides, for the first time, a comprehensive roundwood production forecast for private and public forests in the Republic and in Northern Ireland. It is further broken down by assortment categories and species groups. For the Republic, county-level forecasts are provided, and these can be accessed and interrogated using the forecast tool developed at University College Dublin by Dr Mairtín Mac Siúrtáin and his team in the FORECAST project, funded under the COFORD programme. What stands out from the forecast is that roundwood supply will increase significantly over the next two decades, almost all coming from privately-owned forests in the Republic, and mainly in the sawlog-sized category. As we have pointed out, the overall forecast is contingent on issues such as access and plantation size, and likewise the expected assortment outcome depends on plantations being thinned on time, at sufficient intensity, to bring forward supplies of larger, more valuable sizes. Table 8 in the report illustrates the scale of the thinning challenge, over 22,500 ha to be thinned in 2011 alone, rising to 49,400 ha by 2020. This will require investment in forest roads and in training and education right along the supply chain, from forest owners to machine operators and hauliers. The wood energy market is vital to achieving the levels of thinnings anticipated in the forecast, and the Addendum to the report provides estimates of the level of supply that can be achieved. Given that roundwood demand exceeded supply in 2010, particularly in the 14 cm+ top diameter category, we strongly recommend that this report be read in conjunction with the COFORD Roundwood Demand Group report, which outlines the demand profile to 2020. In conclusion, this roundwood production forecast is a major advance on what was available heretofore. It has developed a new understanding of roundwood production forecasting in the forest sector in Ireland. We thank the members of the COFORD Roundwood Supply Group mentioned in the acknowledgements and in particular the author, Henry Phillips, for skilfully bringing together a range of data sources with different approaches and assumptions into a well structured and authoritative document.

The forest processing and emerging wood energy sectors require forecast volumes at an all Ireland level, to underpin any investment decisions. This series of forecast tables is an attempt to collate forecast volume data from a number of sources and present them on an all Ireland basis. The forecast volumes are based on a range of assumptions, yield models, management regimes and forecast rules which may or may not be applicable at individual plantation level. This document should be read in conjunction with the COFORD Roundwood Demand Group report. There can be significant differences between forecast volumes and actual timber volumes processed by the timberindustry in any given year. This is due to a combination of factors principally (a) volume losses arising during harvesting, (b) planned volumes not being harvested due to market conditions/access/site conditions and (c) individual owner’s circumstances and preferences.

Two forecasts are presented: (1) Forecast of standing volume and (2) Forecast of net realisable volume which includes reductions for harvest loss, accessibility and crops unlikely to be harvested. The data sources used in compiling the forecast were a combination of (a) private sector geospatial forecast (Phillips et al. 2009) (b) Coillte’s Forecast 2011 (c) Northern Ireland Forest Service (NIFS) forecast of softwood availability and (d) potential softwood availability from the private sector in Northern Ireland. The total forecast of potential standing volume production over the forecast period 2011-2028 is 95.47 million m3, with an additional 2.94 million m3 potentially available in the tip-7 cm category. The forecast volume increases from an estimated 4.46 million m3 in 2011 to 7.38 million m3 in 2028. The total net realisable volume production over the forecast period is estimated as being 85.06 million m3, with an additional 2.40 million m3 potentially available in the tip-7 cm category. The forecast volume increases from 3.79 million m3 in 2011 to 6.95 million m3 in 2028. The volumes available within the Republic of Ireland (ROI) are estimated to double over the forecast period, while those in Northern Ireland (NI) are estimated to show an increase of 20%.

Based on Coillte’s forecast, the percentage of the 14 cm plus assortment volume that converts to sawable material is relatively consistent for spruce over the period of the forecast, but can vary widely year on year for other tree species. Conversion factors for the three species groups are provided. Net realisable volume from thinnings totals 27.45 million m3 (excluding private sector NI) and the proportion of thinning volume to total volume increases up to 2022 and then begins to decline as more clearfell volume becomes available from the private sector in the ROI. It is important to note that the volumes associated with second, third and subsequent thinnings are directlydependantuponthefirstthinningbeingundertaken.Clearfells(excludingprivatesectorNI)areestimatedtoaccountfor 57.28 million m3 over the forecast period.

Since the publication in 2001 of the forecast of roundwood production from the forests of Ireland (Gallagher and O’Carroll 2001) there has been a downturn in private planting coupled with major changes in species composition in the Republic of Ireland(ROI).Moreimportantly,therehasbeenasignificantadvanceinthecapacitytoforecasttimbervolumesfromtheprivatesectorandinthequalityofthedatasetsusedtoforecastthesevolumes.ACOFORD-fundedprivatesectorgeospatialforecast was published in 2009 (Phillips et al. 2009) which provided volume forecast estimates at national, regional, county and catchment levels. The forest processing and emerging wood energy sectors require forecast volumes at an all Ireland level to underpin any investment decisions. There are now increasing competing demands for the smaller sized timber volume assortments which traditionally were used in the manufacture of wood panels and fencing materials. This series of forecast tables is an attempt to collate forecast volume data from a number of sources and present them on an all Ireland basis. For comparison purposes, previous forecast volumes for years 2007 to 2009 inclusive are compared with volumes harvested (Table 1). This document should be read in conjunction with the COFORD Roundwood Demand Group report. The forecast volumes are based on a range of assumptions, yield models, management regimes and forecast rules which may or may not be applicable at individual plantation level. The forecast assumes a continuation of the clearfell system of silviculture.Anychangetocontinuous-covertypesilviculturalsystemswillimpactonforecastvolumes.Theforecastdoesnottakeintoaccountmarketfluctuationsorvaryingmarketconditionsduringtheperiodoftheforecast.Thevolumesmaybe subject to changes in the regulatory framework. Twoforecastswerecompiled,thefirstbeingaforecastofstandingvolumewhichispotentiallyavailableforharvesting.This is the standard type of forecast which has been produced at regular intervals for both the ROI and Northern Ireland over the years. The second forecast is for net realisable volume, i.e. the roundwood volume that is potentially available for processing at the end-use facility. It uses the forecast of standing volume as its starting point and through the application of a series of volume reductions to account for volume losses in harvesting and stands which are unlikely to be harvested due toaccessorotherdifficulties,arrivesatanestimateofthenetrealisablevolume. The volumes are indicative of the expected potential roundwood production from all of the forests within Ireland for the 2011-28 period. The volumes are provided by standard size assortment classes (7-13 cm, 14-19 cm and 20 cm +). These do not equate to product classes due to underlying assumptions regarding log lengths and timber quality. Historically between 65-70%ofthe14cmplussizeassortmentsconvertstosawablevolume.Anestimateofthereductionfactorstoconvertsizeassortments to sawable volume is included later in this report (Table 2). There can be significant differences between forecast volumes and actual timber volumes processed by the timberindustry in any given year. This is due to a combination of factors principally (a) volume losses arising during harvesting, (b) planned volumes not being harvested due to market conditions/access/site conditions and (c) individual owners’ circumstances and preferences. The production of a forecast for net realisable volume is an attempt to lessen the difference between forecast volumes and volumes processed by industry. The total forecast volumes, net of harvest losses, by standard size assortment together with the actual volumes harvested and the overall processing outturn by product category are shown in Table 1 for the three years 2007 to 2009 inclusive. While the forecast volumes remain relatively stable, the volumes harvested vary from 2.85 to 3.40 million m3. Over the three year period there is a difference of 1.96 million m3 between forecast volume and actual harvest volume. The processing outturn is not directly comparable with the harvested volume as it includes log imports from outside the island of Ireland. The sawlog outturn varies from 61.9% to 66.2% of total volume depending on volume source and year. In contrast, the two larger forecast size assortments represent from 76% to 83% of total forecast volume depending on volume source and year. Thetwolargersizeassortmentsaccountfor77%oftotalvolumeoverthefirstfiveyearperiodoftheallIrelandforecast.Asmentionedabove,thesetwofiguresarenotdirectlycomparableduetounderlyingassumptionsregardingstandardlengths,speciesandtimberquality.Asthereportgoestoprint,2010dataarenotavailableforTable1.Indicationsarehoweverthatthe ratio of harvested volume to forecast net volume in 2010 was within the range indicated in Figure 2, and that demand exceeded supply, particularly in the 14 cm plus top diameter category. Professional advice should be sought prior to using the forecasts as an integral component of the decision-making process.

Methodology

Data SourceSThe basis for the allocation of volumes between Coillte and the private sector within the ROI is land ownership. This approach is compatible with the private sector forecast (Phillips et al. 2009) and avoids complications arising from joint venture and partnership arrangements. The Irish Forestry Unit Trust (IForUT) owns the harvesting rights to part of the Coillte forest estate and manages these areas on behalf of its investors. These volumes are included under Coillte in all of the tables and analyses in this report, as the land belongs to Coillte, even though the decision when to harvest rests with IForUT. Followingtheclearfelloftheseareas,thelandsreverttoCoilltewhichhasthereplantingobligation.AsimilarsituationrelatestothoseareasoftheCoillteestatewhereAIBInvestmentManagershavepurchasedtheharvestingrights.

Private Sector roI: The COFORD-funded private sector forecast 2009-2028 data, which were smoothed at national level, were used (Phillips et al. 2009). These included reductions in volume to take account of harvest losses which varied with harvest type and species. The private sector forecast (Phillips et al. 2009) highlighted the lack of information on the accessibility of private forests. The forecast volumes were adjusted to exclude thinnings from small plots and those plantations with a potential uneconomic forest roading requirement.

coillte: Coillte publishes a volume forecast based on forest management plans for the forests under its stewardship every fiveyearswiththemostrecentbeingForecast2011(Coillte2011).Thisprovidesdetailedvolumeinformationforyears2011-2015.Fortheperiod2016to2020,annualestmatesareprovided,whilefor2020to2025anaveragefiveyearfigureisprovided.Althoughthepublisheddataarefora15yearperiod,thereareunpublishedforecastvolumesavailableforafurtherfiveyears. Coillte revised its forecast estimates to (a) include only volumes from Coillte-owned forests, (b) take account of harvest losses, (c) exclude those areas2 which for a variety of reasons, principally accessibility, are unlikely to be harvestable based on a continuation of current conditions and (d) provide a further volume assortment category (tip-7 cm). In addition, Coillte adjusted the forecast volumes to provide an estimate for the last two years, i.e. 2027 and 2028, of this series of forecast tables. Coillte does not currently estimate the volume for broadleaved species in its forecasts but has plans to do so in the near future.

1 The volumes available for processing exclude hardwoods and firewood. The data for 2009 are provisional and the best available on 15-09-2010. The forecast volumes for private sector ROI in 2007 and 2008 are from Gallagher and O’Carroll 2001 and have been adjusted for harvest loss, while for 2009 volumes are from Phillips et al. 2009.2 Coillte estimates based on historical analysis that these areas can account for between 100,000 to 150,000 m3 per annum.

Northern Ireland Forest Service and Private Sector: Northern Ireland (NI) production forecast data are based on softwood availability from the Northern Ireland Forest Service (NIFS) and potential softwood availability from the private sector within Northern Ireland. These data are maintained in a manner consistent with the requirements of the UK Forecast of SoftwoodAvailability(Halsalletal.2005).ThesoftwoodavailabilityvolumeestimatesforNorthernIrelandarecalculatedto the top-diameter classes reported in the UK forecast. The NI top diameter volume estimates have been re-aligned with thetopdiameterclassesfromotherdatasourcesusedinthisforecastandthere-alignedvolumefiguresarecontainedintherelevant tables in this report, accordingly due to the differing conventions used to derive volume size assortments within theUKandROI,itshouldbenotedthattheNIfiguresinthetablesarebasedontheapproachoutlinedinthefollowingsection. The Northern Ireland forecast volumes are compiled using a methodology appropriate to reporting at regional level only and are presented in the tables accordingly. Volumes were adjusted to take account of harvest losses using reduction factors similar to those outlined in the ROI private sector geospatial forecast (Phillips et al. 2009).

aSSortmeNt VolumeSCoillte and the ROI private sector forecast use Irish based assortment tables for Sitka spruce (Jordan 1992) and Forestry Commission assortment tables for all other species. The Northern Ireland forecast uses assortments for all species derived from theForestryCommission tables.Significantdifferences involumeswithin size categories canarisedependingonthe assortment tables used. For example, when the private sector forecast for the ROI was run using only the Forestry Commission assortment tables, the volume in the 20+ cm assortment category was reduced by 18.2%.while the volumes in the energy (tip–13 cm), 7–13 cm and 14–19 cm categories increased by 12.5%, 2.6% and 5.1% respectively over the forecast period. To convert the NIFS forecast volumes to assortment categories comparable with other data sources the following approach was adopted. • Thevolumesinthe14-16cmand16-18cmcategorieswereaddedtoprovideanestimateofthevolumefrom14to18cm; • TheaverageclearfellvolumesperhectarewereestimatedbasedonNIFSannualreportsfortheprevioustenyears; • The range of clearfell mean dbh values associated with the clearfell volumes was estimated from the Forestry Commissionyieldtables(ForestryCommission1981); • Thevolumeassortmentforthe20+cmcategoryfortherangeofmeandiameterswasidentified.Thevolumeinthe 18-20cmwasobtainedbysubtraction; • An estimate of the percentage volume for each size assortment was determined and compared with previously publishedassortmentdata(GallagherandO’Carroll2001)forNIforvalidation;and • Afinalestimatewasdetermined. The resulting assortment volumes based on the approach outlined above should be treated as indicative only.

Sawable VolumeThe sawmilling industry relies on forecast volumes to estimate future supplies of raw material and to plan future investment and marketing. Thus they are primarily interested in the conversion of the 14-19 cm and 20 cm + assortment volumes to sawable raw material which they can process. Coillte has over the years collated information on the product outturn e.g. sawlog, pulp and stake from its timber sales and uses this information to estimate the potential end product (PEP) obtainable from the standard size assortments as part

When comparing tables for Coillte volume in this all Ireland forecast and Coillte’s Roundwood Supply Forecast 2011-2015, it is important to note that the Coillte data in both documents use the same information but they are presented in a different manner as outlined below.

of its forecasting process. The sawable volume, i.e. the volumes greater than 14 cm top diameter that convert to sawlogs, depends on a combination of (a) species, (b) stage of harvesting (tree size) and (c) stand quality. The percentage of the 14 cm plus assortment volume that converts to sawable material is relatively consistent for spruce over the period of Coillte’s forecast but can vary widely year on year for the other tree species. The conversion factors for the three species groups (spruces, lodgepole pine and other conifers) is provided in Table 2. Historically between 65-70% of the 14 cm plus size assortments converts to sawable volume. Further research and testing is required before the factors in Table 2 can be used to generate all Ireland forecast tables of sawable volumes. The very poor conversion for pine within the Coillte estate relates to the high proportion of south coastal provenance of lodgepole pine and to crops which have been prematurely clearfelled in the recent past, often with severe basal sweep.

Forecast of standing volume

The volume forecasts from the three data sources were combined to provide an all Ireland forecast of standing volume. The total forecast of standing volume on the island of Ireland greater than or equal to 7 cm top diameter over the forecast period is 95.47 million m3 (Figure 1 and Table 3). This excludes small volumes of broadleaves apart from those included in theprivatesectorROIvolume.Anadditional2.94millionm3 is potentially available in the tip–7 cm category. The forecast volume increases from an estimated 4.46 million m3 in 2011 to 7.38 million m3in2028.AlmostallofthisincreaseinvolumeisfromtheprivatesectorintheROIandreflectstheuptakeinprivateplantingfromthelate1980sonwards. Anestimated43.89millionm3 or 46% of the total standing forecast volume is in the 20 cm + assortment with 29.11 million m3 in the 14-19 cm assortment and 22.46 million m3 in the 7-13 cm assortment.

Forecast of Standing VolumeThe volume forecasts from the three data sources were combined to provide an all-Ireland forecast of standing volume.The total forecast of standing volume on the island of Ireland greater than or equal to 7 cm top diameter over the forecastperiod is 99.72 million m3 (Figure 1 and Table 3). This excludes small volumes of broadleaves apart from those includedin the private sector ROI volume. An additional 3.1 million m3 is potentially available in the tip – 7 cm category. Theforecast volume increases from an estimated 4.27 million m3 in 2010 to 7.38 million m3 in 2028.Almost all of this increasein volume is from the private sector in the ROI and reflects the uptake in private planting from the late 1980s onwards.

An estimated 46.51 million m3 or 47% of the total standing forecast volume is in the 20 cm + assortment with 29.93 millionm3 in the 14-19 cm assortment and 23.28 million m3 in the 7-13 cm assortment.

The sizeoftheharvestlossvarieswithharvesttypeandspecies,beinggreaterforfirstandsecondthinningsandforlodgepolepine. Coillte used its own in-house reduction factors based on their ongoing analysis of standing volume compared with invoiced volume. The ROI private sector volumes were adjusted using the reduction factors in the private sector forecast (Phillips et al. 2009). These two sets of reduction factors are very similar and there are only minor differences which did not impact on overall adjusted volumes. The standing volumes for NIFS and private sector NI were adjusted using the same factors as those for the private sector ROI.

Harvest losses may reduce over time due to improvements in technology and/or harvesting practices. No reduction in harvest losses was assumed and the factors were applied equally to all years within the forecast period. The private sector ROI forecast (Phillips et al. 2009) highlighted the lack of reliable information on accessibility of privately-owned plantations. Based on a geospatial analysis, the forecast volumes were adjusted to exclude thinnings from small plots and those plantations with a potential uneconomic forest roading requirement. These areas were assigned a no-thinning regime and assumed to be harvestable at time of clearfell. This resulted in an estimate of the net realisable volume which showed a reduction of 32% in thinning volumes and an increase of 42% in clearfell volumes over the forecast period. The overall net impact was a reduction of 3.8% in total volume. Approximately100,000 to150,000m3 of Coillte’s forecast volume on an annual basis is not harvested due mainly toaccessibilitydifficulties.Coillte,insofaraswaspossible,identifiedtheseareasandadjustedthenetforecastvolumesaccordingly to provide an estimate of the net realisable volume.

Forecast of Net Realisable VolumeA number of adjustments were made to the forecast of standing volume to estimate the net realisable volume (Figure 2).The standing volumes were reduced to take account of losses during harvesting and provide an estimate of the net volume.The size of the harvest loss varies with harvest type and species, being greater for first and second thinnings and forlodgepole pine. Coillte used its own in-house reduction factors based on their ongoinganalysis of standing volume compared with invoiced volume. The ROI private sectorvolumes were adjusted using the reduction factors in the private sector forecast (Phillips etal. 2009). These two sets of reduction factors are very similar and there are only minordifferences which did not impact on overall adjusted volumes. The standing volumes forNIFS and private sector NI were adjusted using the same factors as those for the privatesector ROI.

Approximately 100,000 to 150,000 m3 of Coillte’s forecast volume on an annual basis is not harvested due mainly toaccessibility difficulties. Coillte, in so far as was possible, identified these areas and adjusted the net forecast volumesaccordingly to provide an estimate of the net realisable volume.

The net forecast volumes for NIFS were not adjusted as issues around accessibility were already taken into account in the underlying forecast data. The harvested volumes for the three years 2007 to 2009 varied from 77% to 91% of the forecast net volume (Table 1). The2008-2009periodwascharacterisedbyverydifficultmarketconditionsforroundwood.Actualharvestedvolumeswillvary depending on future market conditions and may be smaller or greater than the net realisable volume. Tables 4 to 7 provide an estimate of the potential net realisable volume for the island of Ireland by size assortment, species and harvest type while Table 8 provides an estimate of the harvest areas for thinnings and clearfell. Tables 9 to 16 provide a forecast of potential net realisable volumes at county level for a number of assortment categories and for the main species groups. Northern Ireland is included as a separate entry in these tables. While the Coillte data has been smoothed at national level during the compilation of the stand data used to generate the Forecast 2006, no smoothing was undertaken for the private sector ROI forecast volumes at a county level (Phillips et al. 2009). Due to this non-smoothing of the private sector forecast data, there are minor differences in the total volumes between the county and national forecasts. Appendix1providesadetailedbreakdownoftheforecastvolumesfortheROIbythinningcategoryandbyclearfell.There is an increasing need to inform policy makers, academia and potential investors on the potential availability of wood fibrevolumes forenergyuse.Toaddress this requirement,anAddendumprovidinganestimateofpotentialwoodfibreavailability for energy has been added to this report. The total forecast of net realisable volume production for the island of Ireland is estimated as being 85.06 million m3 with an additional 2.40 million m3 potentially available in the tip-7 cm category. The forecast volume increases from 3.79 million m3 in 2011 to 6.95 million m3 in 2028. While the volumes available within the ROI almost double over the forecast period, increasing from 3.35 million m3 in 2010 to 6.41 million m3 in 2028, due to increased volumes from the private sector, the volumes available within NI show only a moderate increase of the order of 20%, increasing from 0.45 million m3 in 2011 to 0.54 million m3 in 2028.

Despite the almost doubling of the all Ireland forecast total net realisable volume by 2028, there is a more modest increase in volume in the 7-13 cm assortment of the order of 30%, with the volume within this category peaking at 1.19 million m3in2020(Table4andFigure4).Forecastvolumeinthe14-19cmassortmentshowsasignificantincreasefrom1.08 million m3 in 2011 to 2.0 million m3 in 2028, while the volume in the 20 cm plus assortment more than doubles from 1.88 million m3 to 3.92 million m3 within the same period.

Spruce, which includes all spruce species, with an estimated total volume production of 70.36 million m3 over the forecast period continues to dominate forecast volumes, accounting for 84% of forecast conifer production (Table 6 and Figure 5). Lodgepole pine with 7.84 million m3 accounts for almost 9% of total forecast volume, while the “Other Conifers” species group with 5.66 million m3 accounts for 7%.

Thinnings

Clearfell

Volume from thinnings, excluding the private sector NI, totals 27.45 million m3 and increases from 0.91 million m3 in 2011 to a peak of 1.92 million m3 in 2028 (Table 7). The proportion of thinning volume to total volume increases up to 2022 and then begins to decline as more clearfell volume becomes available from the private sector in the ROI. It is important to notethatthevolumesassociatedwithsecond,thirdandsubsequentthinningsaredirectlydependantuponthefirstthinningbeing undertaken. While the ROI private sector volumes have been adjusted to allow for accessibility, they are based on the assumptionofcontinuedstatesupportforforestroads.Theimpactofanyfurtherreductioninfirstthinningareaswouldbegreatestoverthefirsttenyearsandwouldlessenduringthesecondhalfoftheforecastasincreasedareasareclearfelleddueto non thin crops being assigned a shorter rotation length. Clearfells, excluding the private sector NI, account for 57.28 million m3 and annual clearfell volumes remain relatively stable around 2.5 million m3 up to 2020 and thereafter increase to 5.01 million m3 in 2028 having peaked at 5.37 million m3 in the previous year. The volume available from clearfells, assumes a continuation of the current clearfell silvicultural system.Anysignificantchangetocontinuouscovertypesilviculturalsystemswouldimpactontherelativevolumesfromclearfells and thinnings.

Atacountylevel,Corkwithanestimatedtotalpotentialvolumeof9.01millionm3, is the largest contributor to total net realisable volume (Table 9) followed by Donegal (6.42 million m3), Galway (6.04 million m3), Clare (5.25 million m3), Kerry (5.21 million m3) and Tipperary (5.19 million m3). Tables 10 through to 13 show the breakdown of forecast potential volume production by size assortment, including tip-7 cm. Regarding forecast net realisable volume by size assortment category (Tables 10 to 13) counties Cork (7.11 million m3), Donegal (4.72 million m3), Galway (4.66 million m3), Clare (4.14 million m3), Wicklow (4.05 million m3) and Tipperary (4.03 million m3) are the major contributors for volume assortments 14 cm and greater. The forecast net realisable volume for spruce species (Table 14) follows a broadly similar pattern to total volume production with counties Cork (7.80 million m3), Donegal (5.12 million m3), Clare (4.60 million m3), Galway (4.53 million m3), Kerry (4.51 million m3) and Tipperary (4.21 million m3) being the major contributors to spruce volume. The forecast of potential lodgepole pine production (Table 15) is concentrated in a relatively small number of counties Mayo (1.89 million m3), Galway (1.25 million m3) and Donegal (1.03 million m3).

Notes

1 Private sector NI No breakdown of volume by species group is available.

2 Private sector ROI The broadleaf volume totals 1.50 million m3 over the forecast period. Average annual volumes during the first four

years and subsequent five year periods are 56,000 m3, 68,000 m3, 69,000 m3 and 87,000 m3.

3 Coillte Coillte plan to include broadleaves in future forecasts. Broadleaf volumes within the forecast period are expected

to be relatively small and of the order of a few thousand m3 at most per annum.

4 NIFS The NIFS will include broadleaves in future forecasts. Analysis of broadleaf sales over the past ten years indicates

an annual average volume of less than 1,000 m3.

5 Pine The volume refers to lodgepole pine only. Scots pine and other pine species are included under “Other Confiers”.

ESTIMATE OF POTENTIAL AVAILABILITY OF WOOD FIBRE FOR ENERGY

INTRODUCTION3

Ireland is heavily reliant on imported fossil fuels for the generation of heat and electricity. Under the EU renewable energydirective Ireland’s target for 2020 is for renewable energy sources to provide 16% of final energy consumption. In 2006,the Irish Government introduced a five year capital programme with €86 million funding to underpin the growth of theIrish renewable heat sector. This includes:

(1) Combined Heat & Power (CHP) Grant Scheme: This programme provides grants for the installation of CHP units.One strand covers grant-aid for biomass-fired CHP. To date, one biomass CHP project has been commissioned under thisscheme and a number of others are in the early stages of development.

(2) Biomass for Households and Medium-sized Businesses: In recent years, wood biomass systems have been promotedand developed for use in households and in medium-sized industrial premises. This is being promoted by State Agenciesincluding COFORD, the Forest Service, Teagasc and by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI).

(3) Greener Homes Scheme (GHS): This grant scheme was established in 2006. It allows householders to obtain grantsfor the installation of renewable heat technologies including wood pellet stoves, boilers, solar panels and geothermal heatpumps. Up to June 2010, 28,686 applications had been approved under the GHS Table 1). The scheme has surpassed itsoriginal targets.

ReHeat Programme

This grant support scheme enables community groups, commercial sector, public sector and industrial sector organisationsto obtain grants for the installation of wood chip and wood pellet boilers. By June 2010, some 163 biomass projects hadbeen completed under this scheme with a total output of 67.6 megawatts.

Renewable Energy Feed-In Tariff (REFIT)

The REFIT scheme provides support to renewable energy projects over a fifteen year period. The new support mechanismdiffers from the previous programme in that it operates as a fixed feed in tariff mechanism rather than as a competitivetendering process. The new SEAI Biomass CHP/AD CHP call for proposals has an indicative budget of €5-8 million andwill provide grant support to assist the deployment of CHP systems fuelled by biomass5.

Current position

BalcasLtd.inNorthernIrelandwasthefirstwoodpelletfacilityinIreland.DPelletLtdwasthefirstwoodpelletsproductionfacility to operate in the ROI in 2008. In early 2009, Laois Sawmills commenced production of wood pellets and is currently supplying wood pellets in bulk form. In May 2009, Imperative Energy announced that it was in the process of building awoodpellet, bio-refining andCHP facility atClaremorris,CoMayo.When fullyoperational, the facilitywill have acapacity to produce 60,000 tonnes of pellets/annum, together with a 15MWth/5MWe CHP plant. The plan also includes a bio-processing plant, with an annual capacity of 20,000 tonnes. There are currently three commercial wood fuelled biomass CHP plants in operation on the island of Ireland: Balcas Fuel Ltd, Grainger Sawmills Ltd and Munster Joinery Ltd, with a combined installed capacity of 14.0 MWth and an energy output of 7.7 MWe. These rely heavily on own-produced processing residues as a fuel source. Edenderry Power, a modern peat-burning power station operated by Bord Na Móna is currently working to increase the volume of wood biomass used as a feedstock for its electricity generation process. In 2009, the plant used 61,700 tonnes of woodchip and sawdust and a further 6,240 tonnes of wood pellets. The planned intake for the same mix of material in 2010 is 100,000 tonnes, increasing to a requirement for 160,000 tonnes by 20166. The estimated 2011 total demand for wood energy, excluding post consumer work (PCRW), in Ireland is 1.59 million m3 (ROI 0.95 million m3) and this is estimated to increase to 3.08 million m3 (ROI 1.67 million m3) by 20287.

Future development

The future development of the emerging wood energy sector is dependant on a sustainable and increasing supply of raw material including small roundwood and wood residues from the processing sector. To date there has been little information provided within the Republic of Ireland (ROI) on the availability or otherwise of roundwood and wood residues for energy apart from the inclusion of a wood energy assortment in the private sector forecast(Phillipsetal.2009).Thishasledvariouspotentialinvestorstointerpretstandardforecastoutputsandwoodflowsinanefforttoestimatewhatleveloffuturewoodfibreispotentiallyavailableforenergy. Againstthebackgroundofgovernmentsupportschemesfortheuseofwoodenergy,increasinginvestmentinwoodpellet and CHP plants and an expanding wood chip market for domestic and businesses, there is now an urgent need to provideanestimateofthepotentialwoodfibreavailabilityforenergyuse.Thiswillfacilitateinvestmentdecisionsonfuturefacilities and inform policy makers.

Estimate of wood fibre availability for energy

There are three main sources of raw material for wood energy – small roundwood from thinnings, wood residues from theprocessingsectorandpostconsumerrecycledwood(PCRW).Additionalrawmaterialispotentiallyavailablethroughthe harvesting of tree tips (tip–7 cm) and through the collection of harvesting residues and some harvest loss material) on suitable sites. In compiling the estimate of potentially available material, a number of assumptions were made of which the main ones were: • Anincreasingvolumeofsmallroundwoodfromthinningsintheprivatesectorwillpotentiallybeavailableforwood energy; • Anincreasingvolumeofdowngradematerialfromthelargersizeassortmentsintheprivatesectorwillbeavailablefor woodenergy; • Anincreasingvolumeofwoodresiduesfromtheprocessingsectorwillbeavailableforwoodenergy; • Lessthan40%ofthetip-7cmvolumewillbepotentiallyharvestable; • TheavailabilityofPCRWwillincreaseonlyslightlyfromcurrentlevels;and • Theestimatedincreaseddemandforsmallroundwoodforthewoodpanelssectorwillbemetfromtheforecastvolume in the 7-13 cm assortment and downgrade from the larger size assortments.

Based on the assumptions outlined above and on the net realisable volumes in the all Ireland forecast, the potential wood fibreavailableforenergytotals23.575millionm3 over the forecast period. The volume increases from an estimated 1.07 million m3 in 2011 to a maximum of 1.81 million m3 in 2027. Based on the estimated demand for wood energy there will beaverytightsupply/demandsituationforthenextfivetosixyearsandfullmobilisationofprivatesectorvolumeswillberequired. It cannot be overemphasised that the volumes of roundwood and wood residues in Table 1 may end up in other end uses. Market price will ultimately determine whether the material goes to energy.

• The estimated increased demand for small roundwood for the wood panels sector will be met from the forecast volumein the 7-13 cm assortment and downgrade from the larger size assortments.

Based on the assumptions outlined above and on the net realisable volumes in the all-Ireland forecast, the potential woodfibre available for energy totals 23.749 million m3 over the forecast period. The volume increases from an estimated 0.84million in 2011 to 1.81 million m3 in 2027. Based on the current (2010) estimated demand for wood energy there will bea very tight supply/demand situation for the next five to six years and full mobilisation of private sector volumes will berequired. It cannot be overemphasised that the volumes of roundwood and wood residues in Table 1 may end up in otherend uses. Market price will ultimately determine whether the material goes to energy.
