Rural Development Initiatives Ltd. has been engaged by the Forestry Commission to undertake a survey of employment in the woodfuel sector.

The Renewable Energy Strategy (RES) envisages that up to 30 per cent of the UK renewable energy target could be met from biomass heat and power sources. The Forestry Commission is looking to understand the potential value of the woodfuel industry to the UK economy and job market by 2020. A key part of this assessment is to understand current levels of employment within the woodfuel sector, from forest to boiler.

If you're engaged in the woodfuel sector and could take a few moments to answer a very brief anonymous survey on how many staff your organisation employs, we'd be very grateful.

All results will be treated in confidence and aggregated up by country. No company or personal information will be recorded. The survey closes on 26th February 2010.
