Advice on biomass-derived fuels and associated conversion technologies is available from the Biomass Energy Centre:
www.biomassenergycentre.org.uk.
The Centre is supported by the Government and aims to draw together information from existing sources into one easy to use service based around a website and an information inquiry service. Where local authorities wish to install woodchip boilers and/or other renewable forms of energy, they can apply for grants under the Department of Trade and Industry's Low Carbon Buildings programme.
