Project Kodama is a highly reputable supplier of premium biomass woodchip fuel, as well as an installer of Solar PV systems, battery storage and biomass boilers, and an operator of biomass district heating networks, for commercial and private customers.

The business is primed to take advantage of the uplift in renewable technologies. This has been driven by the UK Government’s Renewable Heat Income scheme, which encouraged the uptake of such technologies amongst householders, communities and businesses throughout the UK.
The business has 8.3MW biomass heating networks in Scotland, generating over 59 Gigawatts per annum in renewable heat. This equates to 7.9m tonnes of CO2 savings.
