|  FC Brash Pellets Report
This report, produced by Harvest Wood Fuels and released by the Forestry Commission on 11 August 2010, summarises the findings of a study that investigated the potential of producing fuel pellets from material harvested from heathland, including gorse, heather and rhododendron. The study concludes that pellets potentially suited to commercial heat and power generation applications can be successfully produced with the feedstocks tested. These findings suggest that material harvested during habitat restoration and management operations could: contribute to the development of a biomass based low carbon economy, help offset the cost of habitat management, provide rural employment in the energy sector.(pdf 808Kb) | |

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.
