The Northmoor Trusts Hill Farm complex demonstrates small-scale on-site sustainable energy production using local resources.

Northmoor Trust's biomass bioler
A biomass boiler provides heating and hot water by burning straw bales (biomass) from the Trust's estate. It will consume some 6-700 bales per year. As the straw is a waste product this fuel can be considered carbon-neutral.
