FAQs
Is biogas heat eligible for the RHI?
Yes, but only up to 200kWth, and not initially if the biogas is from landfill gas. The definition of biogas is however being widened beyond just anaerobic digestion.
Chapter 4 of the government's RHI announcement says
Heating from biogas combustion
Generation of heat from the combustion of biogas in boilers or engines will be eligible for the RHI. The RHI will be supporting the direct production of heat for installations up to 200kWth and biomethane injection of all capacities through a single biomethane injection tariff
Where an installation exceeds the threshold because additional capacity has been added the original installation (provided it is less than 200kWth) would still be eligible for support.
