Did you know that willow produces
the highest yield of biomass
compared to other woody biomass
crops?
Yields of up to 10 tonnes of
oven-dried material can be grown per
hectare per year with a minimum of
input and labour. This material is
then transformed into wood chip and
is used as a boiler fuel, with all
the environmental benefits of being
carbon neutral.
Willow can grow on a wide range of
soil types, and once established,
can withstand both drought and
occasional water logging with
relative ease to a well developed
root structure. The better the
quality of land the higher the yield
potential.

willow development and have carried
out extensive research over the last

failure. We can guarantee all
