[en] This is a joint paper given by two private developers, cooperating in the field of SRC in Denmark and UK. The paper describes experience on strategies of survival and gives recommendations for future legislation concerning SRC, seen from a commercial point of view. Finally, new SRC machinery is presented. Only few commercial companies survive in the field of SRC due to a very poorly developed commercial market, both in Denmark and other EC countries. The market situation in Denmark is described, and examples are given on how other related trades, eg, designed products in willow, can finance SRC activities and also maintain a development in the field of SRC. Costs of establishment and harvesting are still high, and this paper presents some of the latest developments of new machinery from NORDIC BIOMASS and Border Biofuels Ltd to reduce these costs. A new planting technique, The Lay-flat planter, and further, a whole stem SRC harvester on rubber tracked belts. (au)
