Abstract

This paper describes the findings of the Farm Wood Fuel and Energy Project. It began in 1991 and ended in 1997 and was undertaken to provide a commercial demonstration for the establishment of 50 hectares of short rotation coppice (SRC) on six farms in southern England and the development of associated marketing activities. The Project: •— taught farmers how best to grow the crop and will enable them to teach others;•— determined that winter conditions in the UK are unsuitable for most harvesting equipment trialled and that both harvesting and chip storage need to be re-examined;•— demonstrated that SRC has the potential to be competitive with fossil fuels;•— gave confidence to Government to include a Band for energy crops under the NFFO electricity generating procedures
