SUMMARY:Role of Forestry in Natural Flood Management
DESCRIPTION:Natural flood management (NFM) involves the use of natural processes and environments to mitigate flood risk. Large tracts of upland areas in Wales are used for commercial forestry\, and appropriate management of the forest structure\, species and age diversity\, and harvesting schedules in these areas has the potential to provide significant NFM benefits\, which have not yet been fully explored. In this study\, we sought to develop a digital twin of the forests in the Afon Pennal catchment\, located near Machynlleth in mid-Wales\, through a novel instrumental setup to collect the canopy throughfall data in real-time and combining it with satellite-derived forest parameters to simulate the impact of forest management on the river’s streamflow response. Our results\, which will be presented during the talk\, suggest that this integrated modelling approach is potentially valuable for aiding and informing forest management planning in the future.

SUMMARY:Biomass Connect Webinar No. 12
DESCRIPTION:Harvesting your crop\, everything you need to know \n\n\nThe who\, what\, when\, and how of harvesting. Of course\, there is a theoretical optimum time to harvest your crop\, but our maritime climate often puts a spanner in the works. This webinar will provide some insight into getting the best from your plantation – maximising yield\, reducing cost\, optimising your storage protocol\, reducing impact on the soil and your surroundings. Also\, there will be an opportunity to ask the experts for their tips and Plan Bs for when the weather throws you a curve ball. \n\n \nOur Speakers will be Jamie Rickerby\, Willow Energy and Tim Russon of P Russon & Sons Agricultural Contractors (TBC) \nSpeakers:\nJamie Rickerby: Willow Energy \nJamie Rickerby \nJamie has always been interested in farm machinery – with his 140-year-old family business being the main Claas dealer in the north west. For the last 10 years Jamie has run Willow Energy and accumulated an enormous amount of experience as a planting and harvesting contractor of Short Rotation Coppice (SRC) willow. In this time the company has planted 779 hectares and harvested 5\,500 hectares of SRC with a total biomass output of 225\,000 tonnes. \nSRC contracting is not an easy occupation. Most of the machinery was not designed for the UK’s maritime climate and Jamie has accumulated a wealth of knowledge on what works and what doesn’t. Jamie is currently leading the BEIS funded Net Zero Willow project\, which aims to construct\, test and develop to full commercial deployment three innovations that will enable the rapid scaling up of the UK biomass supply chain. The proposed machines will facilitate the efficient multiplication\, planting and harvesting of SRC willow crops through include increased automation\, reduced handling and lighter machinery that result in a lower environmental footprint. \nWillow Energy works in partnership with the Iggesund paperboard mill for whom they provide contract planting\, maintenance and harvesting services.  In the last five years WE has begun multiplying SRC willow varieties on license with Rothamsted Research. \nJamie is passionate about agriculture and the countryside. With advancements in technology\, there is a huge potential to make British agriculture more efficient and sustainable for future generations. With the advent of artificial intelligence technologies\, farmers will be able to tend to individual plants rather than fields of crop. The ability to tend individual plants will increase productivity per hectare and free up land to be used for biodiversity and energy production through parental energy crops. Jamie is excited to have been funded through the BEIS Biomass feedstock innovation program to develop artificial intelligence technology which will help scale up the production planting and harvesting of SRC willow throughout the UK and beyond. \nTim Russon: P Russon & Sons Agricultural Contractors (TBC) \nTim Prusson \nIn 1986\, Tim attended Riseholme College in Lincoln\, leaving in 1989\, to return to the family dairy farm in Burton\, Lincoln. It was at this point Tim decided to adopt a different career path.  His father had already started taking on agricultural contracting work\, which enabled Tim to do likewise. \nToday the company’s main business is in providing a contracting service to farmers and landowners throughout Lincolnshire and the surrounding counties. Although a wide range of services are now offered\, including muckspreading\, drilling\, combining\, baling and spraying\, the main focus remains a complete forage operation\, from sowing to clamping.  This is rapidly expanding with the advent of anaerobic digestion plants in the region. \nHe has been harvesting miscanthus since 2006\, where he started off with one customer\, covering approx. 100 acres\, around Lincoln. He now harvests approx. 4\,000 acres each year\, stretching from Suffolk to Yorkshire\, along the east side of the country. His choice of machines are two modified Claas Jaguar forage harvesters\, which he already uses in other areas of the business\, throughout the remainder of the year. \n\n  \n\n				Register Here

SUMMARY:Webinar: The potential role for biomass as a long-duration store of energy
DESCRIPTION:Cultivate\, Supergen Bioenergy Hub & UKERC launch a new joint report on the potential role for biomass as a long-duration store of energy.\n\n\n\nWebinar: The potential role for biomass as a long-duration store of energy \n26 November 2025\, 13.00-14.00\, online \nMike Colechin and Keelan Colechin from Cultivate Innovation have produced a report on behalf of the Supergen Bioenergy Hub and the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC)\, exploring the potential for biomass to act as a flexible\, low-carbon store of energy within the UK energy system. \nThis webinar will take a deep dive into the findings and offer an opportunity to put questions to the authors. \nAbout the report \nThere is an increasing requirement for long-duration energy storage to accommodate seasonal and weather-related variations in wind and solar electricity generation. Government targets for the decarbonisation of the UK energy system are leading to large-scale deployment of these renewable generation technologies to displace the use of fossil fuels for electricity generation and in the heat and transport sectors. \nThis study draws on knowledge from around 50 public\, private and academic-sector stakeholders to explore the implications of the current national strategy on the biomass sector. This has been set by the UK’s National Energy System Operator (NESO) who have identified that biomass “provides a renewable low carbon power source” that can be used as dispatchable generation to “help meet demand during times of low wind and solar output”\, contributing to the delivery of a more resilient energy supply. However\, where carbon capture and storage (CCS) is installed to create a “negative emissions” BECCS system\, NESO suggest that higher load factors would be desirable to “maximise carbon removal from the atmosphere”. \nThis study has established that bioenergy supply chains already store energy over prolonged periods\, and that there is potential to make use of this characteristic to address the seasonal variations in wind and solar renewables output that affect electricity\, heat and gas markets. There are multiple options for delivering system flexibility with biomass. Additional work will be needed to establish the scale of this potential on a commercial basis and in the context of the wider economy. \nDownload the full report.
