Why Biomass?

Sustainable biomass is an established renewable fuel resource that can provide heat cheaper than most fossil fuels.

It is most commonly available as wood chips or wood pellets and is readily available in Ireland. Biomass originates from organic material from forestry and agriculture (such as trees and plants), from wastes and residues of biological origin, and from biodegradable fractions of waste. Common sources of biomass in Ireland are pulpwood, brash and sawdust.

Sustainable biomass must meet sustainability criteria to ensure that it saves large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions when compared alongside fossil fuel alternatives, while also avoiding negative impacts on land use, food security, water resources, biodiversity and livelihoods. These criteria are set out by the EU in its Recast Renewable Energy Directive (RED) of 2018.
