  • Abstract in English : This paper sets out the results of work undertaken by Econergy Ltd and the London Tree Officers’ Association with support from the BioRegional Development Group to investigate the potential for developing a supply of biomass fuel for renewable energy production from woody material generated by arboricultural operation in London. Currently there is an alliance of renewable energy policies with waste policies, which seek to reduce the volume of organic carbon-based material going into landfill sites. The result is the creation of an opportunity to divert significant volumes of clean woody arisings into renewable energy production.
