Our core business is to supply biomass fuel, which we process from waste wood and by products, and deliver it to a large number of power plants.
We are proud of what we do and the way we do it. Our approach is driven by our desire to “do things differently”. We provide services to help our customers decarbonise their power generation as we transition to a zero-carbon economy.
Waste wood and by-products are a valuable resource that should be used to generate value for all of us and our communities.
We invest in our best-in-class infrastructure, cutting edge technology and most importantly, our skilled and dedicated people, to ensure that we maximise the financial and environmental benefits at every stage of the process of transforming waste into renewable energy.
