Market Trends

What is government policy ? Trees for energy Trees for carbon capture Securing timber supplies Landscape management

What to plant ? Market in 60 years ? LISS (low impact silvicultural systems) or more intensive? Disease and pests Variable Government aims Climate Change

BIOMASS Haulage Aboyne Academy and Community Centre Hill of Banchory District Heating Scheme Sensitive Lorry Miles Lockerbie (ROCs) Electricity generation 30 % efficiency Retro fit to James Jones’s sawmill Norboard at Dalcross

Carbon Potential and problem Do we understand the science of carbon systems ? CC Only as yet applies to new woodland Link between Forestry and farming Peatlands Local rather than global links NES carbon trading ? SAOS ?

Stathaus Hackney

PROPOSALS Look closely at NES renewable energy options and how biomass fits best Encourage funding of local biomass projects Actively campaign against the waste of biomass for electricity NESAAG meet on forestry industry No to Forest Roads requiring formal planning approval. Should Grant system do more to encourage more intensive silviculture on existing forest area What impact is energy cropping going to have on lowground land use ?
