Biomass Connect team members will be attending the upcoming Cereals Event on Tuesday 13th and Wednesday 14th June.

The Biomass Connect team recently visited the Birmingham Institute of Forest Research Free Air Carbon Dioxide Enrichment Facility (BIFoR FACE) at Staffordshire. A research facility investigating the impact of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide on forests. This research facility is dedicated to understanding how forests respond to the rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Biomass Connect is intending to exhibit at three prominent upcoming events in the agricultural industry. The organisation will be showcasing its information and services at the highly anticipated Cereals Event, the renowned Royal Welsh Agricultural Show, and the prestigious Agroforestry Show.

Biomass Connect team members recently visited Western Bio-Energy in Port Talbot South Wales, to find out more about this dynamic biomass-to-energy generation plant.

The planting continues at the Biomass Connect Hub Site. Last week, Energy Crops Consultancy (ECC) planted a 6-way-mix of SRC willow at the BGI Hub Site.

The flurry of planting at the various Biomass Connect hub sites continues. We've already reported on the planting at the BGI Hub site in Chesham and the IBERS hub site in Aberystwyth. We're pleased to report that the hand-planting of trees at the Rothamsted Research hub site in North Wyke has been completed this week too.
