I'm really pleased to see that the SFR is providing a level playing field for non-wood fuels. It's clearly been quite a journey for FEC Energy and Crops for Energy. An effort of willpower and perseverance that is a testament to the dedication that you have shown to the industry for many years. I will certainly be promoting it where I can, and look forward to seeing it grow and succeed in phase 2 of the RHI, alternative fuels are certainly becoming an increasingly important part of the UK biomass landscape.

Neil Harrisonre:heat

The NFU believes firmly that all solid biomass fuels, whether from woodland or agricultural land, should be treated on a level playing field in order to maximise the opportunities for British farmers and landowners. Since last year’s introduction of fuel sustainability reporting, we have strongly supported FEC and C4E as having the right competencies to operate a more comprehensive Sustainable Fuel Register.

We have created a simple and affordable scheme for users based on financing through user subscriptions scaled to take into account quantity of fuel produced, traded or consumed.

The SFR will minimise the administrative burden on both RHI participants and fuel suppliers. This industry-led approach demonstrates the maturing market for biomass fuel and will play an important role in ensuring the continuing success of the RHI scheme.
