Generally yes but look at DRAX much of the stuff provided by renewable

Not logs though. The point about biomass willow is that it's either
coppiced (best) or whips. No-one is growing willow logs for fuel.


I have a tree of it in slices,. Gave up splitting em. Bitch of a job and
they don't burn.


You can buy both willow and poplar specifically bred for log growing/
coppicing, I have some on my ground. In five years its twenty feet
high and six inches diameter.
