The distance of export of harvested wood is growing every year, especially in Siberia and the Far East. The increase in the distance of removal of harvested wood leads to a significant increase in the cost of logging production, since the cost of the transport component includes not only the construction and maintenance of forest roads, but also fuel, oils, tires, etc. for logging trucks and drivers ' wages. To reduce the transport component of the cost price, the technology of creating forest terminals (non-permanent timber storage area), which usually produce lumber, sometimes a number of other types of products, has been developed and is successfully used in Siberia and the Far East. This allows significant increase of the full-weight loading coefficient for logging trucks. For the efficient operation of forest terminals, autonomous sources of energy supply are necessary. Currently mobile woodworking machines are powered by power take-off shaft of a tractor or a diesel generator. This energy supply option is not optimal due to high cost of the fuel itself and its delivery to the forest terminal. The use of gas-generating systems may significantly reduce the cost of energy supply to forest terminals. This research was conducted within the framework of the scientific school "Innovative developments in the field of logging industry and forestry" of the Arctic State Agrotechnological University.
