Crops

There is a long list of potential renewable energy sources that can be utilised on farm.

In addition to burning biomass for heat, wind power, hydro-electricity, solar power and energy from wastes (biogas) and fuel cell technology are all possible on-farm.  In the right location, and with grant assistance where available, many can make a useful contribution to the farm's energy costs.

Exporting to the grid can be very easy for smaller units and for the larger schemes this can generate sizeable profits.

We have the expertise to help you to harness these resources, whether a large scale or small-scale project is planned.

We can advise on:

• Generation potential
• Design and layout
• Planning applications
• Feasibility and payback appraisals

Full option appraisals for farms, businesses or local authorities can be provided to reduce fuel costs and provide alternative energy solutions.

For more on how to harness these opportunities, please contact your local FBS office or contact Rod McGovern.
