Biomass energy from wood (woody biomass) is a clean and renewable energy source. Because fossil fuels are likely to become increasingly expensive, woody biomass can play an important role by providing energy in the form of heat, electricity or transport fuels. Woody biomass is effectively a store of solar energy.
As a renewable energy source that can be grown and used sustainably, burning woody biomass has almost zero net greenhouse effect as the carbon dioxide given off during combustion is
absorbed by the growth of the next crop of woody biomass.

This guide focuses on assisting farmers to improve energy efficiency on dairy farms. It presents a range of options, from simple checks to cutting edge technology; all designed with energy efficiency in mind.

The best time to consider energy use is before you start building - as this is when you can achieve an energy efficient building at least cost and disruption. With the right planning and design, good energy performance can be achieved at little extra cost, and will provide significant savings over the long term.
