Wood fuel quality assurance scheme launched at bioenergy conference

A NEW quality assurance scheme for wood fuel products has been formed by a peer-nominated oversight committee.

The Wood Fuel Quality Assurance (WFQA) scheme in Ireland was launched at the Irish Bioenergy Association (IrBEA) /Teagasc annual bioenergy conference at the Tipperary Institute in Thurles.

It has been formed in conjunction with key Government and non-governmental agencies and will provide wood fuel customers with confidence that they are purchasing a quality wood fuel from a sustainable source relevant to their needs.
