Wood Energy Support to the Western Region

We are working on an exciting new EU project to support pilot wood energy projects in the West of Ireland. The aims of the project are to:

  • Establish sustainable local loops of wood energy supply and demand.
  • Develop local wood fuel supply from forestry.
  • Offer best practice approaches to support industry development.
  • Help build critical mass and scale in the wood energy sector of the region.
  • Support investment plans and help secure project finance.
