Richard Harvey: Biomass heating
Richard Harvey, from Leicestershire farms woodland and combinable crops. He was intrigued as to why wood-heating technology was so well developed in European countries but not breaking into the UK. He set out to capture the benefits for the land-based industries here. He's dedicated 10% of his land to traditionally managed woodland and uses the wood fuel for the farm and local heating systems. He's now saving at least £5000 a year.
