neutral Alexander Schleber (X) : Combination with "Biomasse" shows this may be more than just woods chips. Could be "Grünabfall" including branches.

*Hackschnitzel* is an unequivocal technical term, it does not mean "Grünabfall"

wood chips

Wood is cut up into small chips which are then burnt to fuel either a central heating system or a warm water system. Usually such a wood chip system is used on a smaller scale for domestic purposes. However, there are quite big test units around, such as in the place I live in, Benediktbeuern, Bavaria, providing the big monastry with all its ancillary businesses with energy.

shreds / chips

Both words are provided by Ernst and leaves it open whether its just wood, or chipped garden trimmings, including leaves, stalks etc.

Have just done 80 pages of gardeing equipment for a manufacturer of shredders (Häckselmaschinen).
