Woodfuel event
An interesting event has just been posted on Carbon neutral fuel
23rd June 2009: Woodfuel Supply Chain Free Event at Harper Adams University College focussing on managing small woodlands to create a sustainable source of woodfuel. The event will look at economics of both self-supply and supplying other customers with wood fuel in chip or log form.

Re: Woodfuel event
I have asked for more info. The day is still getting finalised but the outline looks like:
Event Description The event is intended for SMEs, farmers and other rural enterprises that could benefit from either exploiting their own resources to self-supply fuel for their use, or who are thinking of entering the wood fuel supply chain. The aim of the Event is to deliver basic information that will give those attending an honest idea of the positives and negatives of managing woodland and harvesting it for fuel: Costs, time and equipment needed, etc… There will also be information about boiler choice for those planning to process and use the fuel themselves, and fuel standards and contracts for those planning to supply others with fuel. Those attending will be signposted to further courses for training in woodland management for fuel, or other training courses that are relevant. Who should attend? • All those with an interest in the woodfuel supply chain • Those considering the use of woodfuel for energy, including private individuals, farmers, developers • Forest owners/managers, Estate Managers • Foresters and Timber processors

Re: Woodfuel event
We were going to be there with some kit but have been let down by the haulage company coming in from Europe so won't have enough spare machines. Sounds like a useful day out and from what they said, if this one goes well they could run others.
