Stobart Biomass Holdings Ltd is the largest supplier of biomass fuel in the United Kingdom. Stobart Energy comes under the Energy division of the Stobart Group.

History

The original company

On 24 March 2010, the Stobart Group announced the purchase of 50% of A. W. Jenkinson Biomass Ltd, from A. W. Jenkinson Forest Products, for £30 million, as an equal mix of cash and shares. A. W. Jenkinson Biomass Ltd was then renamed Stobart Biomass Products Ltd. Stobart Biomass transports sustainable wood products for use in low-carbon emission power plants, producing electricity at both large and small scale power plants, including for export. The Stobart Group announced in 2011 that it was buying the remaining 50% of Stobart Biomass Products it did not already own for £20 million.

Stobart Energy

Following Stobart Group's partial realisation of its Transport and Distribution division, Stobart Group decided to invest £55 million of the proceeds to expand its Biomass division into Green Energy, thus changing the division's name to Stobart Energy in the process.

Operations

Stobart Energy is the UK's largest supplier of biomass fuel. The company operates six wood management sites supplying 2 million tonnes of biomass per year via 135 walking floor trailers.
