Wood Energy Working Group
Treated and Untreated Wood
The Bioenergy Association supports the responsible recycling and recovery of used and treated timber as an energy resource.
Our Treated and Untreated Wood Working Group brings together businesses and organisations involved in timber recycling, energy recovery and the wider wood-processing sector. The group provides a forum for sharing knowledge, addressing industry challenges and supporting the development of practical approaches to the recovery and use of timber as an energy fuel.
The Working Group includes sector participants with commercial interests in timber recycling, as well as representatives from the Wood Processors and Manufacturers Association and the New Zealand Demolition and Asbestos Association.
Consenting
Used and treated wood can be processed into a suitable fuel for combustion in appropriately designed heat plants. Technical Guide 9: Consenting for combustion of different solid biofuels has been published to support the consenting process.
