Renewable Heat Incentive is first in the World
Tuesday, May 31st, 2011The government has announced details of its Renewable Heat incentive, the first in the world, aimed at reducing carbon emissions from energy used to produce heat-about half the UK total. Phase 1 for the non residential buildings will be introduced in the autumn of 2012 to coincide with the advert of the Green Deal. Air source heat pumps are not included in the RHI, nor is gas fired CHP. Among technologies that are included are biomass, solar thermal, ground source and water- source heat pumps and deep geothermal. The £860 million scheme is expected to increase green capital investment by £4.5 billion up to 2020 and increase the number of industrial, commercial and public-sector installations seven-fold by that time.
