FAQs

No testing is required, but no more than 10% fossil fuel can be used and fuel purchase records must be retained.

Chapter 5 of the government’s RHI announcement says under:

Biomass combustion

Installations between 45kWth and 1 MWth, these installations will receive 100 per cent of the biomass tariff and will not have to submit to a fuel testing regime.

However, use of ancillary fuel or fossil fuel contamination must not exceed 10 per cent by energy content, and we will require that these participants retain information on their fuel purchases for audit purposes and verify that they are using equipment which is designed specifically for biomass.
