At Addleshaw Goddard we believe that biomass is a necessary part of the energy mix as our economy moves towards a low carbon future. Unlike the majority of renewable energy sources it can provide reliable 'on demand' generation. Such generation is vital to complement the deployment of large amounts of intermittent generation.

Our experience means that we are ideally placed to advise on all aspects of biomass projects from inception to commissioning. We are committed to helping the efficient, cost effective and rapid roll out of biomass projects.

Whether you need advice on planning applications, property arrangements, joint ventures, funding options, grid connection, construction or energy sale arrangements we have the experience and specialist knowledge to help.
