Biomass

We operate a dedicated technical service to deliver clients a high quality and consistent service when it comes to their biomass materials.

BIOMASS FUEL QUALITY TESTING

Our services ensure high quality and consistent products for producers and consumers of Biomass fuels. We perform analysis to enable clients to comply with international standards such as EN and ISO. We assist clients to determine the quality of their biomass fuels and enable biomass stations to meet and report against particular sustainability criteria so that they are eligible for Renewables Obligation Certificates (ROCs).

Including:

  • Wood Pellets
  • Wood Chips
  • Briquettes
  • Energy Crops
  • Agricultural Residues
