Thinning

  • Easter USA forest - 30 dry tons for 40% thinning. For 25% charcoal yield, that is 7 tons per acre. 7 tons is 5 tons GGE. 3 kg diesel per gallon. 5 tons is thus 1500 gallons. Or about 40k miles - enough for 2 average Americans.

60 wet and 30 dry tons per acre from 35-40% thinning based on Basal Area.
