Energy Crops are plants that are grown specifically to supply energy for transport, heat or electricity. A number of crops can be used in this way, but in the UK the most efficient and widely available energy crop is trees.

The wood from trees can be converted into pellets for co-firing power generation or, more efficiently, to supply heat to domestic and commercial premises.

The Energy Crops Company specialises in the production, distribution, and promotion of wood pellet-fired heating systems.

Wood is one of the most efficient plant-sourced fuels, it is safe to use, readily available and a proven technology. Furthermore it does not infringe upon land that could be used for food production.
