What we do

Small scale biomass heat risks rapid degression. We need to review tariff structures to improve cost effectiveness and stability
Large, cost effective projects are not happening due to lack of tariff confirmation. We need to address this
We need confirmation of expanding budgets from Treasury from 2016 through to 2020 – there is risk of squeeze on all budgets
We need to proactively support the introduction of sustainability rules through the Biomass Suppliers List, whilst ensuring that the administration of these rules is pragmatic
In line with feedback to a WHA survey in December 2013 and a DECC survey in August 2014, we will work to improve installation quality across the industry

Maintain and expand the RHI from 2016 to 2020
Ensure biomass sustainability criteria and Biomass Suppliers List are practical
Pursue a review of the RHI banding structure to ensure cost effectiveness
Enhance RHI to give tariff certainty to projects with long lead times
Extend support to direct air heating from biomass
Introduce long term framework and incentives to support heat network investments at all scales
Develop a long term renewable heat support mechanism for 2020 and beyond
