State of the art technology will be used to generate electricity - the wood is converted into a gas which fuels a high efficiency combined cycle generating process. Wood fuels are clean, renewable and can be produced in a sustainable manner. They are carbon dioxide neutral , because the carbon dioxide released when the fuel is used is equal to the carbon dioxide taken up during growth. As wood is a natural material free from harmful chemicals, its use as a fuel in this way poses no threat to the environment. Forestry Sources - materials derived from forest and woodland management.
Energy crops offer an exciting new commercial opportunity for farmers and growers.
Short rotation coppice production allows diversification of land usage and offers substantial environmental benefits compared to intensive arable farming. These include reduced use of agrochemicals and greater ecological and landscape diversity. The gasification process utilises advanced technology to produce electricity.
