Have you ever wondered how much it would cost to produce your own fuel? You may be thinking back to the cost-of-living crisis and that enormous spike in heating fuel costs? You might well be thinking that it’s time to grow your own and insulate yourself against any future unwanted price rises?

Now the good news is that a new web app called Envirocrops has been launched that can help you crunch the numbers and understand all the different types of biomass crops from Short Rotation Coppice to Miscanthus, Eucalyptus to Reed Canary Grass.

You’ll be able to find out:

  • The amount of land you will need to become self-sufficient
  • The cost of establishment
  • The lifetime production costs
  • The timescale to full production
  • The logistics such as storage space required
  • The likely amount of ash that you will have to deal with
  • Contacts for all the right people to help you get the project off the ground.
