A webinar on sustainable energy solutions in horticulture using heating with biomass took place on Monday, 14 November. The ongoing shift away from fossil fuels is creating demand for heat using carbon-neutral fuel sources.

Teagasc Energy specialist Barry Caslin presented an overview of boiler technology and reviewed the impacts of a range of fuel types. Scenarios for horticultural producers were assessed and there was an opportunity for questions from viewers.
