Welcome to the website of the BIOMASS Energy Centre

A 'one stop shop' to provide information to anyone in the UK with an interest in biomass derived solid, liquid and gaseous fuels and associated conversion technologies.

Advance notification of an important event later this year!

The Biomass Energy Centre, in collaboration with the IEA Bioenergy Tasks 31, 38 and 40, is proud to announce an exciting event:

The woodfuel supply chain - Sharing experience

Taking place in Warwick, UK, in September 2008 this event will be an International Workshop, and will include field tours and an Industry Day taking place at the APF 2008 forestry show.

About the BIOMASS Energy Centre (BEC)

The BEC aims to draw together information from existing sources into one easy to use service based around this website and an information enquiry service to UK individuals, companies, local authorities and other UK organizations.

This website focuses on the various biomass fuel types that are commercially available or being researched. It provides basic information on fuel processing and supply chains, currently with an emphasis on woodfuel and heat production.
