This programme will increase the capacity of both the production and the use of biomass in the form of woodfuel. In order to increase the use of biomass as an energy source, end users must have a consistent quality and reliability of supply. Similarly, on the flip side, in order for investment in production to increase, potential producers must have a guaranteed local demand. It is these two elements that the Capacity Building Programme will bring together.

Working in partnership, a steering group has been formed to oversee the work of the project, which will assist in developing the Biomass framework and achieving the key aims of the scheme.

What do they do?

Determine the future market for woodfuel
Identify locations and desired parameters for fuel production and storage
Research sources of raw material and costs
Investigate delivery options and costs of wood chips
Test various fuel sources and mixes to ensure quality and uniformity of supply
Explore different methods of processing woodfuel
Assess the viability of installing biomass
Consider the basis of contracts between fuel suppliers and end users
Develop point of sale and tender sale agreements for woodfuel buyers
Biomass feasibility studies
Lobby influencers to encourage planners and builders to consider Biomass at the outset of any construction

See a comprehensive list of the steering group members.
