Guidance for Biomass Users
Guidance for Biomass Users
The successful realisation of biomass projects takes good planning. Biomass systems are more complex than fossil fuel systems, but if they are well implemented they will deliver efficient and reliable low carbon heating.
A growing and expert sector: Scotland’s biomass industry has been developing in response to the Government’s Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme which was introduced in 2011. This has resulted in increased levels of technical competence and scale in the biomass fuel supply chain and installation sector, particularly for commercial scale installations.
