The Ignite one-day seminar is designed to introduce those working with farms and estates to the
opportunities provided by woodfuel for self-supply from woodland and forest resources and the chance
to look beyond estate boundaries to other opportunities in the renewable energy sector.
The seminar introduces the concept of renewable energy and looks in more detail at the opportunities
afforded by woodfuel including woodfuel heating technologies and woodfuel processing and handling
equipment. The seminar also involves a visit to a working woodfuel boiler system.
