Course dates and booking

Woodfuel self supply 

This course is aimed at farmers, landowners and smallholders who want to grow and use their own woodfuel in order to get the maximum benefit from the Government’s Renewable Heat Incentive. The course will look at how to estimate the amount of woodfuel you will need for your premises from a variety of biomass resources (e.g. existing woodland, straw, energy crops and short rotation forestry). The course will also provide insight into the best types and makes of boilers for the different fuels covered. You’ll get all the information you need to DIY.

Crops for Energy have linked up with several established boiler installers (Treco, Fair Energy, Dunster Heat, Eco Angus and Dragon Heat) to provide attractive discounts on their boilers. By coming along to the training you will be able to hear about different boiler types and receive boiler discount vouchers from the various brands.
