Is LC Energy Woodsure Certified?
LC Energy proudly holds the Woodsure certification and has done so throughout our entire trading period, this certification reflects our dedication to sustainable and high-quality wood fuel production and distribution. It not only assures our customers of the sustainability and excellence of our wood chip but also reinforces our customers’ commitment to responsible forestry and the advancement of renewable energy production.
What assessment process does LC Energy undergo to achieve the Woodsure Certification?
To achieve the Woodsure certification standard, LC Energy undergoes rigorous independent assessments of our supply chain and production depots, with regular monitoring to ensure continued compliance with the Woodsure Certification standards.
This comprises regular quality assurance checks analysing wood chip samples to ensure they meet the specific particle size, moisture content and calorific value, which is sent for independent testing.
Compliance assessments are also carried out to ensure that LC Energy meets the Biomass Suppliers List (BSL) eligibility criteria, which includes sourcing wood from sustainable forests, complying with relevant environmental regulations, and maintaining transparency in our supply chain.
Furthermore, frequent site audits are conducted to assess LC Energy’s facilities and processes, including the handling, storage, and transportation of our wood chip.
