From Field to Fuel — The Biomass Supply Chain That Actually Works
East Anglia grows the feedstock. We handle the rest — collection, processing, logistics, and real-time tracking. No guesswork. No waste. Just 1,247 tonnes of biomass moving smoothly every week through our network of 87 partner farms and 12 waste stream integrations. (And yes, we know exactly where every single tonne is — right now.)
Mapping the Chain — Where Your Biomass Comes From (and Goes)
Let's start with the basics: biomass doesn't magically appear at our processing plants. It comes from somewhere — and that somewhere matters. Our supply chain stretches across 3,800 square kilometres of East Anglia, connecting 87 farms, 5 food processing plants, 3 breweries, and 4 municipal waste centres. (That's 12 waste streams, if you're counting.)
Every source is mapped. Every route is optimised. Every delivery is tracked. We don't just move biomass — we move it with purpose. Because in this business, "somewhere" isn't good enough. You need to know exactly where.
Supply Chain by the Numbers
Real-Time Tracking — Because "Should Be There by Friday" Isn't Good Enough
Remember the last time a biomass delivery was late? Of course you do. Everyone remembers the late ones. That's why we built a tracking system that doesn't just tell you where your biomass was — it tells you where it is. Right now.
Our logistics platform integrates GPS, weight sensors, and moisture meters in every truck. You get live updates on location, load status, and even quality metrics. (Yes, we can tell you the moisture content of that specific load of straw while it's still in the field.)
Late deliveries? 1.7% of the time. (And when they do happen, you'll know about it before we do.)
Waste Streams — Turning Someone Else's Problem Into Your Energy Solution
Biomass isn't just about crops. It's about waste — the kind that costs businesses money to dispose of. We turn that cost into a resource. (And yes, we pay for it.)
Brewery Spent Grains
Three local breweries send us their spent grains — 45 tonnes every week. That's 45 tonnes they don't pay to landfill. And 45 tonnes we don't have to source from farms. (Everyone wins.)
Food Processing Waste
Five food processors send us their organic waste — everything from vegetable trimmings to expired produce. 120 tonnes weekly. (That's 120 tonnes of methane emissions we prevent.)
Municipal Green Waste
Four local councils send us their green waste — grass clippings, leaves, branches. 80 tonnes every week. (That's 80 tonnes of carbon sequestered instead of burned.)
Agricultural Partnerships — Why Farmers Choose Us (And Stick Around)
Let's be honest — farmers have options. They can sell their straw to animal bedding companies. They can plough it back into the field. They can burn it. (Don't get us started on burning.) So why do 87 of them choose to work with us?
Because we make it easy. We handle collection. We handle transport. We handle processing. We even handle the paperwork. (Yes, we know about the RHI paperwork. Yes, we handle that too.)
And we pay on time. Every time. (That's more than some bedding companies can say.)
Our longest partnership? Eight years. Our newest? Three weeks. (Welcome aboard, Hall Farm.)
Ready to See Where Your Biomass Comes From?
We don't just manage a supply chain — we build relationships. With farmers. With waste producers. With logistics partners. And with energy producers like you.
Want to see how it works? Want to know exactly where your biomass comes from — and where it's going? Let's talk.
Schedule a Supply Chain Audit(Yes, we'll show you the tracking system. Yes, you can ask about the moisture content.)
How do you ensure consistent biomass quality across different sources?
We test every load. Moisture content, calorific value, contaminants — we measure it all. If a load doesn't meet our standards, it doesn't get processed. (And yes, we tell the farmer why.)
What happens if a delivery is late?
You'll know before we do. Our tracking system alerts you (and us) the moment a delay is detected. We'll tell you why it's late, when it will arrive, and what we're doing to prevent it next time. (And no, "traffic" isn't an acceptable reason.)
Can you handle custom biomass blends for specific energy needs?
Absolutely. Need a specific moisture content? A particular calorific value? A blend of straw and food waste? We can do that. Just tell us what you need — we'll source it, blend it, and deliver it.
