The Forestry Commission’s Woodfuel Strategy for England (PDF 3.9 MB), has been launched by the Biodiversity Minister Barry Gardiner. The aim of the Strategy is to bring an additional two million tonnes (Mt) of wood into the market, annually, by 2020 saving 400,000 tonnes of carbon every year – the equivalent of 3.6 million barrels of crude oil and enough to supply 250,000 homes with energy. To achieve this target we will be focusing our efforts on the potential wood resource available in the 60% of English woodlands that are currently under-managed.
