Pa gamau y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn eu cymryd i sicrhau bod Cymru'n manteisio i'r eithaf ar y cyfle a nodwyd yn adroddiad CCRA3 i ehangu rhywogaethau sefydledig sy'n bodoli eisoes fel ffynidwydden Douglas a masarnen, ac ar gyfer rhywogaethau sy'n tyfu'n gyflym a ddewisir ar gyfer ffynonellau bio-ynni?
Welsh Government remains committed to a “right tree in the right place” approach to woodland creation. Douglas fir and sycamore are already common species used in forestry across Wales. The Welsh Government is collaborating with Defra and Scottish Forestry to fund Short Rotation Forestry experiments led by Forest Research. These experiments have been running for 6 years and look at 15 different alternative species such as poplar, eucalyptus, spruce, fir and sycamore and their ability to produce energy crops for future demand. There are three experiment sites in Wales, Talybont-on-Usk, Corris and Radnor.
Welsh Government are also a partner organisation in an EU collaborative project called BioWill. This project is aimed at using willow grown on short rotations which can be turned into bio-refined materials that could replace plastics in the future. Another aspect of the BioWill project is looking at using anaerobic digestion systems to produce energy as well as the other benefits of trees such as their impact on buffering pollution into watercourses.
