Biomass
wood fuel
doesn’t cost the earth"

Electricity and heat energy generation has for decades been produced in Scandinavia, east and central Europe from wood fuels and other forms of plant species all generically termed boimass.

Today rising energy prices are having a significant impact on all sectors of society.

Householders are seeing continual increases in their electricity, gas and oil bills, businesses and industries margins are being eroded by increasing fuel costs and fuel used for power generation is also increasing in cost. When this is combined with decline in the UKs indigenous gas reserves resulting in an increasing level of reliance on energy imported from less stable parts of the world such as Russia and the Middle East the importance of increasing heat and electricity generation from renewable local sources is heightened.

Renewable sources of energy have the additional benefit of contributing to reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

One of the most versatile forms of renewable energy is biomass. Unlike most other forms of renewable energy it can be stored for use when required. Wind, wave, tidal and solar energy is dependant on weather conditions and therefore provides an intermittent source of energy.

Wood being the most common forms of biomass fuel can take a number of forms such as logs, wood chip, brash and sawdust. Its suitability to be used as a fuel can be increased by processing this basic form to produce higher value biomass such as briquettes and pellets.

In most cases the biomass is produced in the same locality of the consumer aiding the local economy while providing a market for locally grown timber and small diameter thinning material from virgin forests. This enhances the attractiveness of the forest habitat, benefiting nature, forest growth and our future generations.
