Learn about biomass crops miscanthus, SRC willow, poplar and many more at the Headley Hall biomass field. The day will start with a project overview and introduction followed by a trip to the field for a field tour.

  • Hear from:

    • Chris Ashman, IBERS

    • Will MacAlpine, Rothamsted Research

    • Kevin Lindegaard, Willow Solutions

    • David Marsh, Energy Crops Consultancy

  • In the willow, David and Kevin will talk about crop agronomy, carbon storage benefits and crop harvesting and willow uses. Will MacAlpine will talk through the variety trial and the breeding work he has been doing.

  • In the miscanthus, Chris will talk through crop agronomy, carbon storage, crop harvesting and uses of miscanthus. 

  • Will M will talk though the other crops at the site.

  • The aim for the day is for delegates to leave with a better understanding of biomass crops, how they would fit in a rotation and build resilience within their rotations.
