Governed by a steering group, Biomass UK is the REA’s member forum for biomass power. It works to promote a better understanding of biomass power and its contribution to the UK. Biomass power generation is currently the second largest producer of low carbon energy, and accounts for around 12% of UK electricity generation.

Biomass UK includes the largest group of biomass power generators in the UK, ranging in size and utilising a range of feedstocks from waste wood, to compressed wood pellets, agricultural and energy crops, like willow, miscanthus, and straw, to biogas and biofuels.

Collectively, our members are focused on furthering the success of the UK’s sustainable biomass industry and helping in the fight against climate change, to decarbonise the economy, and reach Net Zero by 2050.
