What makes good biomass wood chip?

The right wood chip specification matters. Fuel quality, moisture content, particle size, storage and delivery can all affect the performance and reliability of a biomass heating system.

01

Fuel quality

Consistent fuel for reliable heating

Not all wood chip is the same. The specification needs to suit the boiler and fuel-handling system, with appropriate particle size, moisture content and consistency.

Biomass Suppliers List (BSL) authorised logo

LC Energy supplies wood chip authorised on the Biomass Suppliers List (BSL), demonstrating that the registered fuel meets the applicable RHI sustainability and fuel-quality requirements.

For customers who remain part of the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), the relevant BSL authorisation number is provided on fuel documentation to support ongoing reporting and compliance requirements.

The BSL also provides independent assurance around the sustainability and quality requirements applying to registered biomass fuels.

Woodsure assured quality woodfuel logo

At LC Energy quality is at the heart of everything we do and we proudly hold one of the first Woodsure certifications, this certification reflects our dedication to sustainable and high-quality wood fuel production and distribution. It not only assures our customers of the sustainability and excellence of our wood chip but also reinforces our customers’ commitment to responsible forestry and the advancement of renewable energy production.

Woodsure’s wood fuel quality assurance scheme comprehensively checks wood fuel producers to ensure that they produce and supply wood fuel to the highest quality standard in the UK.
To achieve the Woodsure certification standard, LC Energy undergoes a rigorous assessment process and regular monitoring to ensure continued compliance with the Woodsure Certification standards.

Grown in Britain logo

Grown in Britain certification provides assurance that certified timber originates from UK sources meeting the scheme’s responsible sourcing requirements. LC Energy’s certified wood chip supports traceable UK timber supply chains.

02

Responsible sourcing

Sustainably sourced UK timber

Demand for responsibly sourced wood fuel can provide a productive market for lower-grade timber, thinnings and other material generated through woodland management that may not be suitable for higher-value uses.

Creating value from this material can help support the ongoing management of woodlands, including thinning and regeneration, while keeping the focus on using timber responsibly and through established supply chains.

LC Energy sources its timber from sustainably managed UK woodlands within a 50-mile radius, with Grown in Britain (GiB) certification providing assurance around responsible sourcing and traceability.

Wood chip questions we hear a lot.

The right wood chip specification depends on your boiler and fuel-handling system. Factors such as particle size, moisture content and consistency can all affect performance. LC Energy can help identify the appropriate fuel specification for your system and supply wood chip that meets the required quality standards.

The appropriate moisture content depends on the specification of your biomass boiler. Some systems are designed for relatively dry wood chip, while others can accommodate higher moisture levels. Using fuel outside the boiler manufacturer’s recommended specification can affect efficiency and reliability, so we recommend confirming your system requirements before ordering.

LC Energy’s wood chip is sourced from sustainably managed UK woodland through established supply chains within a 50 mile radius. Using suitable timber, thinnings and lower-grade material from active woodland management provides a productive use for material that may not be appropriate for higher-value timber products, while supporting responsible woodland management.

LC Energy offers different delivery options depending on your site and fuel-store capacity. Current options include 20m³ and 32m³ tipped hook-bin deliveries and 95m³ and 100m³ walking-floor deliveries. Our team can help determine the most appropriate delivery method for your site.

That depends on the access, turning space, unloading arrangement and type of fuel store at your site. LC Energy has experience delivering to a wide range of biomass installations and can discuss your site requirements before your first delivery to establish the most suitable vehicle and delivery method.

Delivery frequency depends on your biomass system’s fuel consumption and the capacity of your fuel store. Seasonal demand can also make a significant difference. Once we understand your system, storage capacity and typical usage, we can help establish a suitable delivery schedule to keep your fuel supply running reliably. LC Energy guarantees continuous, consistent fuel supply. You will never run out of fuel.

LC Energy supplies wood chip across the South East and The Midlands, subject to site location, access and delivery requirements. Contact the team with your postcode and we’ll confirm delivery options for your site.
