Forest Fuels
Winner 2008: Best Business Innovation
Forest Fuels Ltd has grown to fill an identified gap in the market to supply high-quality woodfuel to the growing biomass market in the region. Prior to Forest Fuel's service, no single company had acted to provide fuel supply contracts throughout the region. They revolutionized the supply of woodfuel in the south west by providing professional long-term contracts, developing a highly-flexible mobile chipping service, and establishing six depots for local handling, storage and delivery. This has brought confidence to those considering installing biomass boilers. It is an exemplar model for biomass development, and without Forest Fuels' presence, many of the projects that proceeded in the last year may not have done so.
