  1. Timber Products Output(TPO) in Support of HWP Carbon Accounting Todd A. Morgan, CF April 27, 2018 Harvested Wood Product Carbon Workshop McClellan, CA

  2. Bureau of Business & Economic Research Forest Industry Research • State harvest & industry analyses • Logging utilization studies • Regional timber harvest reporting • Quarterly Montana information • Other forest economics projects

  3. Harvest & Industry Analysis • Rocky Mountains & Pacific Coast • Describe industry structure, capacity, condition, and changes • Track wood fiber from forest through primary processing • Associate key economic indicators

  4. Removals from Forest Inventory Logging utilization studies TPO mill surveys FIA P-2 plots

  5. TPO (timber product output): • FIA-TPO data characterize removals & use: • timber harvested for wood products • associated harvest/logging residue • mill residue • National data • county level • facility list/map • periodic  annual https://www.fs.usda.gov/srsfia/php/tpo_2009/tpo_rpa_int1.php

  6. California TPO-related Activities • Mill Surveys • 2000, 2006, 2012 - published • 2016 – data processing • >1.5 BBF Scribner of timber annually • >70 facilities • Logging Residue • 2004 study published in WJAF • Planning for 2018-2020

  7. FIDACS vs. TPO • FIDACS Mill Surveys • Periodic census of primary industry • Processors in- & out-of-state • Employment & other info • Complete wood accounting • Timber from in- & out-of-state • Residue types, volumes & uses • Sales value and volumes of primary products • TPO Mill Surveys • Annual sample of primary industry • (proposed national base program) • Timber products & mill residue • In-state timber • Residue types & uses • Nothing on primary products The “additional” FIDACS data enables our detailed work with CalFire on HWP-Carbon and other reporting on industry’s condition, trends, and economic impact/contribution.

  8. California Timber Harvest

  9. California Timber Harvest and Use • 360 MMCF of wood fiber • 60% to sawmills • 32% to biomass energy facilities • 8% to veneer & other plants • 62% of wood residue used for energy • 16% of wood residue used for particleboard • 22% of wood residue for other uses • 0.005% of total wood fiber not used

  10. Timber Products vs. Primary Products Timber Products: Categories recorded at time of timber sale or harvest, may not closely correspond to primary products manufactured. Examples: sawtimber, pulpwood, fuelwood, non-saw, misc-convertible products. Primary Products: Categories of 1st products manufactured from the timber, includes mill residue uses. Examples: lumber, plywood, woodpulp, non-structural panels.

  11. California Mill Residue Over 1.3 million BDT of woody mill residue (excluding bark) generated annually. About 0.1% was not used. Greater use for bioenergy and landscaping/mulch Less use for particleboard or pulp/paper Result of wood products industry operating in CA
