I went to what seems to be a very similar event round here last Autumn. They ( the FC) are looking to promote the use of their timber in firewood and will advise on the possible availability of EU funding for wood fuel businesses. Its worth going if you can.

 

At present though imported stacked crates of kiln dried is cheaper and more convenient (unless getting RHI on a kiln) than buying cord from the FC or similar at £55 a ton and having to add processing and storage costs to it, however sooner or later this will come full circle.
