EMSL has extensive experience in the procurement of biomass. We currently manage over 1 million tonnes of straw and wood biomass per annum for our clients’ power plants.
We have an unsurpassed understanding of the biomass fuel market and unrivalled experience of developing workable and resilient fuel strategies to ensure the reliable delivery of high-quality fuels to biomass and AD plants around the country.
EMSL can offer complete end-to-end management of the fuel supply chain. Our service includes developing bespoke procurement strategies based on the forecast fuel demands and specifications of our clients, negotiating supply contracts, managing logistics and inventory and managing the supplier payment processes.
Additionally, EMSL can manage the logistics of fuel supply to optimise stock management and plant operations through its purpose built inventory management system. This ensures that your fuel supply strategy is optimised to meet operational and market needs.
EMSL has developed its own software package to enable these processes to be run as efficiently as possible and to fit each client’s particular process and reporting requirements. Through regular reporting, we give our clients peace of mind that the fuel they need will arrive in the right quantities, at the right time and to the required specification.

Case study
Templeborough Biomass Power Plant
Templeborough Biomass Power Plant is a 41 MW waste wood-fired plant near Rotherham which entered commercial operation in 2018. EMSL was appointed as MSA provider when it was purchased in 2019 by Schroders Greencoat. EMSL acts as Technical and Commercial Advisers under an MSA Agreement which also covers the operational supervision and fuel supply management.
EMSL's responsibilities at Templeborough include the management of complex fuel procurement strategies, which have contributed considerably to the efficient operation of the asset, and to ensuring a stable financial return to the owners.
