The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) is a government financial scheme (subsidy) to incentivise and therefore increase the use of renewable heat. It has two schemes - Domestic and Non-Domestic. They have separate tariffs, joining conditions, rules and application processes. Ofgem administer both with Government Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy developing the scheme policy and rules[1].
The application of RHI to waste related facilities is currently focused on the use of Biomass at small scale, Biogas/Biomethane from AD and Landfill Gas plants when injected into the gas grid (where it replaces natural gas), and Biogas/Biomethane when part of a CHP installation. The rates payable are also banded according to technology and scale[1][2].
