Thinking of self supply?

Pellet supplies from a growing range of UK manufacturers and distributers give confidence that for certain projects this is a cost-effective & sustainable choice. Choosing between wood pellet and wood chip is very site specific and needs careful life-cycle analysis as well as smart design to get right. Our staff have set up both chip & wood chip supply chains so we know what is involved and how much this costs, making us well placed to advise you in setting up an effective fuel heating supply system. We can assist all sizes of projects from supply from the owner’s woodland for a single boiler; to developing a local supply chain for a larger boiler and developers of larger heating plants. South East Wood Fuels can help at all stages of the wood supply chain development to deliver a reliable, cost effective fuel supply. A secure and efficient wood fuel supply is essential for the establishment of a successful wood heating system. Even though wood fuel is already available across the South East new projects may require the development of extra production capacity. Supply chain design and construction SEWF can design supply chains for projects of all sizes using a well-developed and structured approach. Based on end-user requirements we will look at the current availability of wood fuel, investigate additional sources as required, and cost and design supply chain options. The scope includes transport, production facilities, quality assurance & fuel security issues. We will work with the client to achieve a robust supply chain design with added research into potential grant aid to supplier this. Woodland Management We can estimate the quantity of wood fuel that will be produced, calculate a budget cost for wood fuel delivered to the boilers and schedule felling and thinning in consultation with the owners. Wood fuel is a new product for many woodland owners. Whatever the size of your woodland, SEWF will help you integrate wood fuel production in your plan. Resource Assessment Sources may include waste wood, woodland, arboricultural arisings and short rotation coppice (energy crops). We will help you identify a secure supply from a range of sources to meet your price & quality specifications. Whatever your potential source of woodfuel- South East Wood Fuels can help you find out where it is, how much you have, it's quality & the contribution it can make to your heating needs.
