Biomass

UPM Tilhill is a market leader in biomass supply to renewable energy projects. Leveraging our unique position in the biomass supply chain we are able to work with clients to provide solutions and opportunities in all types of wood and biomass resource.

The upsurge in interest in renewable energy in the UK, and the increasing number of wood fuelled installations used in the commercial and public sector has resulted in a rapidly expanding UK market for biomass.

UPM Tilhill has the capacity to harvest and utilise this fuel through our exclusive contracts to supply UPM’s CHP (combined heat and power) plants at Shotton and Caledonian paper mills. In addition UPM Tilhill are key Energy wood suppliers to many of the UK’s other major bioenergy plants.

A Secure Supply
With commercial developments based around renewables and bioenergy, a secure and guaranteed feedstock supply is essential. With its unrivalled history of 60 years in the UK forestry market, UPM Tilhill is uniquely placed to provide this guarantee where appropriate.
