Event Details

This one day course introduces woodfuel suppliers and users to the full range of standards and quality assurance schemes in use in the supply chain and how to produce and specify the correct type of fuel.  It looks at how to ensure your woodfuel is compliant with the Timber Standard for Heat and Electricity covering the legal and sustainability criteria and the requirements of the Biomass Suppliers List.  The course also looks at how woodfuel properties can affect compliance with standards, how to specify and test fuel, and match fuel specifications to combustion systems. The training provides an introduction to the BS EN ISO solid biofuels standard that has been adopted in the UK and reviews the various woodfuel quality assurance schemes and what relevance these may have to your business.  The course involves a practical sampling demonstration at a working woodfuel supply depot and attendees will also receive a copy of our Woodfuel Quality Standards Handbook and a Lantra Awards certificate of attendance.
