Wood chip for biomass

[cornish wood burner]

I though you had a large scale setup down there, perhaps space with you is limited, which is why you need to buy in?

 

I assume your boilers cope nicely with G50?

Space is adequate for our needs.

The noise consideration for our neighbours is the main reason to buy some in. Sometimes it makes sense to top up with a couple of hundred tonnes before Christmas rather than chip with a half full shed, as chipper transport is a standard cost. It keeps options open.

Yes G50 suits both although I would not turn away G100

The going rate per m3 for arctic loads of G50 chip seems to vary a lot in the SWest. Have you a figure in mind? Thanks

The company I supply said they will take as much as I've got the other day we had truck lining up. The chip is all going to the power station at middlesborough.

What are they paying if you don't mind me asking?

[woodworm]

Is that SembCorp?

[Charleton Chips]

Yeah that's Sembcorp. I was getting 14 per tonne but I'm getting 8. Because I'm only hour away from it or less.

Your product sounds fine for power station but not the type of boilers that take G30 or G50 chip. A lot of the contracts state it must be produced from virgin timber and not have any green in, ie leaves so chipping brash would be out.

£ 8 per tonne? !

[Charleton Chips]

Yeah it was per tonne but now get 14.00 per tonne. Twice it shredded then done again. I no it's only for power station because I could tell the difference when I chipped with heizohack between logs and brash

[Charleton Chips]

Plus when we started we only did for our brash then people keep asking if I would take now it as become a full time job. That's why I'm asking so I don't want to keep selling to the middle man all the time.
