- TV Tree Station gets go-ahead
TV Tree Station Ltd, part of the TV Energy family, has recently been granted planning permission to develop Buckinghamshire's first tree station, for the production, storage and supply of renewable wood fuel.
Following the award of a grant from Defra's Bioenergy Infrastructure Scheme at the end of 2005, TV Bioenergy and joint venture partners J & S Whitby of Rowley Farm submitted a planning application to Bucks County Council to develop an area of the farm into a dedicated yard with storage barn.
The tree station will receive wood residues from around the county and surrounding areas and process it into a variety of grades of wood fuel, supplying a range of local bioenergy installations with environmentally benign, quality-controlled fuel.
The Rowley Farm tree station's primary market will be Slough Heat and Power but it is hoped that the availability of good quality, locally sourced wood fuel will stimulate the market for small-scale biomass boilers across the
region

TV Energy pleased about getting chipper
March 2006: TV Bioenergy purchased a new chipper able to produce woodchip. The machine
produces fuel to the Austrian ONORM M 7133 specification as required by the majority of small scale boilers currently being installed in the UK. The chipper is available to hire either along or manned and will enable a much wider range of potential wood fuel producers to become involved in the local fuel supply chain |
Slough's Wexham Nursery gains biomass boiler
 Wexham Nursery, owned by Slough Borough Council, has recently installed a 520kW woodchip boiler to supply the heating needs of the nursery's greenhouses and offices. The boiler is due to be commissioned in early October and will run on locally sourced wood fuel supplied through TV Bioenergy. The installation has received financial assistance by means of a £100k grant through the Clear Skies scheme and £2000 from Slough Heat and Power. The scheme is anticipated to significantly reduce the nursery's annual fuel bills and will save 250 tonnes of CO2 annually, as the wood chip fuel is sourced from renewably grown wood. |
