COFORD convened and facilitated a strategic group formed from the saw milling and forestry sectors which appointed Electrowatt-Ekono, an international consultancy specialising in biomass and energy, to carry out a strategic study in the area of wood use for energy in Ireland.

The report produced by this group Maximising the Potential of Wood Use for Energy Generation in Ireland includes an outline of the potential sectors where wood fuel could be used to substitute existing fuels in solid fuel power plants and heat only plants in the domestic, commercial, public and industrial sectors.
