The government is focused on reducing the UK's carbon footprint by increasing the use of renewable energy, and its expected that biomass will account for around 80% of the renewable share of the market.
But what can a logistics company bring to the biomass market and why has Stobart got involved?
Around 40% of the cost of biomass fuels relates to transport and logistics When coupled with the fact that importation of biomass is already on the increase, the benefits of AW Jenkinson and Stobart Group's extensive road, rail and port assets and reliable financial resources make for a highly successful business model.
Stobart is an expert in managing logistics and supplying products, and the biomass industry is no different. It provides full logistics management, consistency of supply and peak period volume requirements that normally make direct fuel sourcing unviable for customers, Supplier sites dont generate sufficient material individually to meet the demands of larger customers. Without Stobart Biomass, these companies would have to build their own complex supply chain to ensure a flow that meets the peaks and troughs of energy production Collections and deliveries are made using a fleet of more than 500 specialist Walking Floor and ChIpliner trailers.
The satellite planning and route technology provides real-time load status for customers.
In addition to supplying the domestic market Stobart Biomass exports material to a growing number of biomass users across Europe. The company transports to UK ports and charters freight ships to service the developing markets across Scandinavia and northern Europe, • For further information on opportunities around Stobart Biomass, contact: Paul Davenport at pauLdavenport@stobartbiomass.corn
