We’re creating forest management solutions that improve safety and productivity of remote operations. Improving operations entails automating machinery, implementing teleoperations, and bolstering remote-site connectivity: getting work done faster and making job sites safer for ground personnel. Our method of utilizing unmerchantable biomass consists of storing carbon-dense woody residues from thinning operations in a way that minimizes decomposition with low-capital investment. These residues would otherwise be pile-burned, which is both costly and a source of CO2 emissions.
