    The United Kingdom is seeing unprecedented development of large scale biomass electricity generation. The current plans  would require about 40 million tonnes of wood to be imported every year (about 5 times the annual production of the UK).

    This web space and the map are tools to help residents of the UK get an overview of the scale and status of these developments as well as provide information about both local and global impacts of biomass electricty generation.

    Resources such as factsheets, news articles and Campaign updates are available using the left hand side menu. If you would like to suggest material for this webspace please email us.

    Biomess is a UK based campaign to stop the development of biomass power plants. This network is run by volunteers and its successes depend on everybody's involvement. If you think you could help in any ways, please get in touch.
