When it started in September 2007, Kingdom Bioenergy Ltd had three contracts:
- With the University of Reading to provide lectures and project supervison on the
subject of Biomass Conversion Technologies. The lectures were for half a module of
the MSc Course on Renewable Energy: Technology and Sustainability. This is a course
that has been running at the University of Reading (under different names) since
the early 1980s.
- With Ashden Awards, writing material for their new web pages, doing technical assessment
of international applications and making visits to international projects to assess
their suitability for an Award.
- With Biojoule Ltd, doing research on ways of preparing biomass materials for conversion
to high grade biomass pellets. These pellets will be used in furnaces to generate
heat.
Contract 1 is continuing, although the number of lectures is reducing each year.
Contract 2 is also continuing with more visits each year.
Previous to setting up Kingdom Bioenergy Ltd, Dr David Fulford was involved in a
range of consulting activities and projects related to renewable energy technologies
in different parts of the world.
In March 2009, he was involved in a one-day workshop on anaerobic digestion at the
University of Reading, organised by the Rural Research and Strategy Partnership.
In October 2009, he gave a talk at the REA (Renewable Energy Association) Bioenergy
Conference at EBEC (European Bioenergy Conference and Expo) at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire.
