Generating Energy from Waste Wood

Can you imagine your old kitchen or furniture powering your home? That’s not just a possibility - it’s happening right now.

We take domestically sourced grade-C waste wood, which would otherwise go to landfill, transforming it into renewable electricity that powers homes and businesses across the UK.

Every year, around 4.5 million tonnes of waste wood is produced in the UK, with 3 million tonnes of this being low grade with no alternative use. By giving it another purpose as clean energy, we’re helping to drive the country’s green energy transition forward.

In fact, renewables generated an average of 44% of the UK’s electricity in 2025, with biomass – waste wood included – making up 6.9% of the total electricity mix.
