As timber extraction continues to be an important part of our county’s industry, the transport of timber from forest blocks to the customer is increasingly moving up the agenda for both the timber industry and highways authorities.

An exciting opportunity to visit Europe’s largest coal-fired power station who are in the process of developing their biomass co-firing capacity. The event will also feature a discussion on delivering the England Woodfuel Strategy and meeting the challenges associated with our renewable energy targets. The morning session will include a series of presentations / discussion on the woodfuel strategy and regional woodfuel delivery. The afternoon will provide an opportunity to hear how Drax are taking forward biomass co-firing and includes a tour of the power plant.   

This event is organised by the Renewable Energy Association. 

Northwoods, through the NEWHeat service, will be giving a presentation and advice on biomass options at this event aimed at informing businesses about the various renewable options available.

For more information on the event please follow this link to the Northern Rural Network web pages: http://nrn.ncl.ac.uk

Northwoods have been advising throughout the process of installing and supplying both the wood chip boiler and also the wood chip supply, which has been supplied by the NE wood fuel producer group NEWFuels.

This event will help to improve understanding of the role of trees, woodlands and forests in tackling climate change and to explore the opportunities and challenges that climate change brings to the sector.

RDI’s project director of Northwoods, David Clubb, will be speaking about the economic benefits of biomass in this context.

Meeting of organisations involved in the Yorwoods partnership.
