Biomass CHP
Fuel supply discussions for suitable combined heat and power projects using commercial wood chip.
Power generation biomass fuel
Biomass fuel for power generation and CHP projects.
McCauley Wood Fuels supplies dry commercial wood chip for suitable biomass generation, CHP, energy-centre and on-site energy projects across Ireland.
Generation fuel supply
Generation projects depend on fuel certainty.
Biomass generation and CHP projects require more than boiler or engine selection. Fuel quality, annual volume, delivery access, storage capacity, seasonal availability and long-term supply planning all affect whether the project can operate reliably.
Applications
Suitable generation and energy-centre applications.
On-site generation
Wood chip supply for suitable commercial sites with heat and power requirements.
Energy centres
Commercial fuel supply for suitable centralised energy-centre arrangements.
Hybrid energy systems
Fuel supply input for projects combining biomass with other generation or heat technologies.
Industrial energy projects
Fuel planning for suitable industrial sites considering biomass as part of wider energy strategy.
Large heat and power users
Wood chip supply for suitable users with stable demand, appropriate storage and practical delivery access.
Fuel quality
Fuel quality affects generation reliability.
Generation and CHP projects need predictable fuel. Moisture content, particle size, contamination, ash behaviour and consistency can affect combustion, output stability, maintenance demand and avoidable downtime.

Fuel supply must be planned long term.
Generation projects can require substantial and regular biomass fuel volumes. Supply planning should consider annual demand, seasonal profile, storage capacity, delivery frequency, production planning, site restrictions and contingency arrangements.

Project information
What a fuel supplier needs to know.
For biomass generation and CHP projects, early fuel-supply input can help avoid practical issues later.
Project location
Technology type
Boiler, gasifier or generation system if known
Expected annual fuel requirement
Required fuel specification
Fuel-store design
Delivery access and turning space
Delivery frequency
Peak and average demand
Backup or hybrid arrangement
Project stage
Procurement requirements
Specification-led supply
Specification-led supply, not commodity fuel.
Commercial biomass fuel should be matched to the plant. McCauley Wood Fuels works to understand the required specification, handling arrangement, delivery route and operating pattern before agreeing a supply approach.
Agreed specification
Particle size suitability
Delivery planning
Practical communication during demand changes
Irish supply chain
Indigenous fuel for Irish energy projects.
McCauley Wood Fuels is based in County Leitrim and supplies commercial customers across Ireland where delivery logistics, fuel requirement and long-term account suitability align. Indigenous biomass can support Irish forestry, rural supply chains, energy resilience and renewable heat and power development.
Role clarity
Our role: commercial biomass fuel supply.
McCauley Wood Fuels is not a power plant designer or operator. The company's role is commercial wood chip supply, fuel specification input, practical biomass knowledge, supply planning and delivery logistics for suitable projects.

Certification
Certified wood fuel supplier.
McCauley Wood Fuels is a WFQA certified wood fuel supplier. Certification supports a professional approach to fuel specification, consistency and recognised wood fuel standards.
FAQ
Power generation biomass fuel FAQs.
Do you operate biomass power plants?
No. McCauley Wood Fuels is a commercial wood chip supplier. The company can support suitable biomass generation and CHP projects with fuel supply knowledge and commercial wood chip supply.
Can wood chip be used for power generation?
Yes, where the generation technology, fuel-handling system, storage arrangement and operating model are designed for suitable commercial wood chip fuel.
When should fuel supply be considered?
Fuel supply should be considered early in project development, before fuel-store design, delivery access and long-term operating assumptions are fixed.
Can you supply CHP projects?
McCauley Wood Fuels welcomes early discussions on suitable CHP and energy-centre projects where dry commercial wood chip may be required.
What information do you need to discuss a project?
We need location, technology type, expected annual fuel demand, fuel specification, moisture requirement, fuel-store design, delivery access, delivery frequency and project stage.
