FAQs
What are the fuel sustainability reporting requirements for biogas and smaller biomass plants?
They will be exempt.
Chapter 5 of the government's RHI announcement says
Sustainability reporting
Smaller participants (i.e. below 1 MWth) will be exempt from this reporting requirement (this will include all RHI-eligible biogas combustion installations). On grounds of practicality and in line with the approach developed by the European Commission, where participants use the biomass element of eligible wastes as a feedstock, these feedstock will also be exempt from the reporting requirement.
