What is biomass?

Biomass is any organic, renewable material that can be used as fuel to generate electricity. Producing energy from biomass has the potential to make a significant, sustainable contribution to the UK's heat and energy generation needs in the future.

Using a renewable energy source will lower your business’ carbon emissions.

Energy generated in the process can be supplied to local businesses.

Different biofuels can be used, offering flexibility and security to stabilise prices.

This diagram shows how biomass plants use organic materials such as biomass pellets to generate heat and boil water. The steam created turns turbines, that are connected to generators, creating energy.
