Stobart Biomass

The launch of Stobart Biomass Products represents a pivotal move into a rapidly developing new business sector for the Group. Stobart Biomass sources sustainable biomass, primarily life-expired timber and low-grade softwood for the generation of minimum-carbon power plants utilised both in large-scale electricity generation and smaller, on-site industrial power plants.

A significant percentage of the cost of biomass fuel relates to transport and logistics. When coupled with the fact that importation of biomass is on the increase, the Group believes that there are significant benefits and synergies between Stobart Biomass and the Group's road, rail and ports assets.
