Renewable Heat Incentive: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:24, 28 November 2019

The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) is a government financial scheme 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 introduction of Biogas from AD plants but also from Landfill Gas, suitably refined for injection to the gas grid where it replaces natural gas and therefore is eligible for payments under the RHI^[1].
