Used and treated timber

Used and treated timber

Biomass from used and treated timber sourced from building demolition, building construction and discarded agricultural fence posts is often unnecessarily disposed of to land fill when it can sometimes be repurposed or recycled into energy fuel.

Consenting

Used and treated wood can be processed to be a suitable wood fuel for combustion in some appropriately designed heat plant. Technical Guide 9: Consenting for combustion of different solid biofuels has been published to assist consenting.

Future work programme

Bioenergy Association has a Working Group which has developed a Work Programme with the objective of increasing the use of treated and used wood as an energy fuel.
