In the year 2013, energy sector In UK had a direct contribution of £20.6 billion. Together with other indirect contributions through a supply chain, the total impact amounted to £ 86 billion (Angela, 2013).

The boilers are fuelled using the waste woods obtained from the neighboring forests. Through innovation, such companies have embraced this trend to secure their competitive advantage by minimizing the cost of operation by cutting down energy consumption (Iddon, 2015).

According to UK’s carbon trust, there are about 1438 Carbon...
