<p>In order to receive government support for heat and power generation from biomass, all biomass must now comply with the UK’s sustainability criteria. This includes a minimum 60% lifecycle greenhouse gas saving and for the biomass to be from a sustainable source.</p><p>Forestry Commission research found that optimal GHG emission savings can be achieved when harvested wood is used primarily for timber where possible, with energy produced alongside it as a co-product. This is summarised at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/bioenergy-strategy-supplementary-note-carbon-impacts-of-forest-biomass-november-2012" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/bioenergy-strategy-supplementary-note-carbon-impacts-of-forest-biomass-november-2012</a></p>
