Government calls for help to deliver more biomass fuel from wetlands

Government wants help to determine how much biomass fuel could be sustainably extracted from wetlands. The department of energy and climate change (Decc) is mulling over a competition that would give funding to wetland managers that can optimise biomass produced.

The department said that currently potential fuel is wasted by being burnt or left to decompose. It wants academia and industry to help shape the competition and provide information on the current state of the market and its potential.

Expressions of interest must be submitted by 20 September. Those that respond will be invited to a Decc briefing in Autumn.
