This project is part of an ongoing development of wood fuel supply chains in the North West Region. It included funding for the purchase of a new mobile biomass wood chipper to upgrade and grow the McCauley Woodfuels Limited business. Existing output demands could not be sustained with the processing capacity and quality of the company's current machine.This large and more efficient wood chipper will enable at least 150% increase in capacity, subsequently helping to improve the business's ability, reliability and flexibility to deal with periodic peaking demands. This project is a significant step forward in the development of the company's supply biomass fuel chain, reinforcing security of supply capability and ensuring improved biomass supply solutions can be provided into the future.
