BIOJOULE and ENERGY Crops COMPANY partner to provide Pellet fuel
Biojoule has joined forces with the Energy Crops Company to produce and market climate neutral biomass pellets in the UK. The partnership will bring together Biojoule's local production technology with Energy Crops' national distribution and logistics capabilities, and will strengthen the supply chain for both companies' customers.
Biojoule's new pellet plant, near Retford in Nottinghamshire, will be the first facility to benefit from the partnership. Biojoule's unique technology will be used to refine locally-grown wood and energy crops into high-energy, wood pellet fuel. The plant will be operated in conjunction with Coppice Resources Ltd, who have recruited local farmers to grow short rotation coppice from which to produce pellets.
The Energy Crops Company will then offer a high quality delivery service to customers in the region. Short rotation coppice offers a sustainable and economically viable use of land as well as an attractive energy crop fuel for local power stations that is compliant with their obligations for the use of renewable fuels.
