Seras, formally known as Esken Renewables, is the new name for the UK’s largest biomass fuel supply business.
The rebrand follows the business’ acquisition by Pioneer Point Partners in December 2023. The Seras name and brand reflects the strengths of the business today along with our growth aspirations for tomorrow.
Seras supplies 1.7 million tonnes of UK sourced sustainable biomass fuel a year to UK power plants. The business has five waste wood storage and processing facilities across the UK and a fleet of more than 100 specialist vehicles.
Under new ownership Seras have invested £13 million into a new fleet of modern vehicles, enhancing fuel production capabilities and increasing Seras’ supply of Megaskips, which was recently expanded into Yorkshire.
Richard Jenkins, CEO of Seras, said: “At Seras, we have considerable experience in both waste wood management and sustainable fuels. With biomass fuel supply remaining at the core of the business, Seras have ambitious growth plans to diversify into new waste streams and sustainable fuel supply. We are excited about the role we will play in enabling waste to become a valuable resource in our sustainable energy future.”
Seras, the fuel specialists, provide the following services:
- Biomass fuel supply to a network of UK power plants, many under exclusive long-term contracts with leading global and infrastructure funds, until the mid 2030s.
- Commercial waste wood management – either via collection or delivery to one of the business’ processing and storage sites across the UK.
- Commercial waste wood skip services in the North West and Yorkshire.
Going forwards, Seras are exploring options to diversify into wider waste streams and to develop supply for advanced sustainable fuels to support decarbonisation of hard to abate sectors.
