Biomass

BIOMASS : THE ULTIMATE RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCE

​​The never-ending cycle of sowing, growing and harvesting is as age old as farming itself, and means that agricultural biomass is the true embodiment of the term ‘renewable energy’. Quite simply, it will exist as long as farmers continue to cultivate the land. No need to worry about dwindling resources or finite supplies. Biomass energy will be on tap today, tomorrow and for all future generations.​

BIOMASS: FITS FARMERS LIKE A GLOVE

What makes biomass and agriculture the perfect match?
One: farmers have the land to grow suitable crops.
Two: farmers have the machines to harvest and process these crops.
Three: farmers can provide for their own energy needs, and sell surplus energy back to the national grid. Growing energy. As easy as 1-2-3.

CARBON NEUTRAL ENERGY

​It’s all very well and good producing renewable energy, but if by doing so you have a carbon footprint the size of an elephant you’ve simply shifted the problem from use to production. Agricultural biomass is a carbon neutral virtuous cycle. The carbon emitted during the utilisation of these crops, for example in combustion, is absorbed by the crops the following season during growth. The result? Energy one. Carbon neutral.
