Sustainable Biomass Project: Efficient Woodchip Supply & Storage Solutions

Experience at Lancashire Hill Biomass Project highlights challenges of woodchip supply, storage considerations, and the potential shift to wood pellets. Exploring historical and modern heat fuel sources, this project emphasizes the need for effective logistics and infrastructure for sustainable biomass utilization.

  1. Experience of the Lancashire Hill Biomass Project

  2. Woodchip supply requires space for storage and space to dry chip. Most supplier will not want to transport fuel for long distances, delivery is 10% of the cost over short journeys Wood pellets are generally 30-40% more expensive per kwh, but can be made from recycled wood

  3. Most people start off with the idea of growing their own timber. To supply 7% of UK heat from biomass would require every forest in Britain to be coppiced. In the 17th Century wood could no longer supply England’s heat needs, and coal mines were close to exhaustion until the invention of the steam pump.

  4. At Lancashire Hill we designed a purpose built fuel store and delivery area, to ensure that simple tippers could deliver quickly and easily A weeks supply of fuel occupies 120 m³. The same amount of oil would only require 10m³

  5. Who will deal with fuel quality issues? Check fuel stocks? Empty ash cans? Clean dust of the auger sensors?

  6. 3 X 1.4MW Gas
