In Scotland bio-energy is created by harvesting organic matter. The conversion processes used include combustion, anaerobic digestion and fermentation. The extensive and mature forests in many parts of the Highlands and Islands offers a significant opportunity to maximise the potential of bio-energy. As well as using wood, bio-energy is also created using other types of fuel, including grasses, willow, seed crops, and even by-products from industries such as food and drink and agriculture.
