Logs made from renewable fuel crop go on sale in Limerick

THE first logs made in Ireland from miscanthus, a renewable fuel crop grown by farmers, have gone on the retail market in Limerick.

Behind the move is JHM Biofuels, which said the early indications are that the logs are proving a successful fuel for home fires, ranges and log burners.

The company, a subsidiary of JHM Crops, based at Kilfinny, Adare, Co Limerick, reports a huge interest in the logs from the retail sector.
