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.

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.
