Are You Receiving the Renewable Heat Incentive?
Alfred H Knight operate globally, working with many types of biomass, including wood chips,
wood pellets, waste wood, energy crops and agricultural residues from around the world.
Whether you are self generating or purchasing biomass AHK can deliver full transparency
of your fuel on a quarterly basis so you can ensure you retain your renewable heat incentive.
Why is the quality of fuel so important?
RHI regulation specify that the biomass content for the fuel should be at least 90% and less than 10% contamination.
Feeding your boiler with biomass that is lower than the specified requirement can:
damage or reduce the performance of the installation, leading to downtime and costly repairs
be a false economy, poor quality biomass has a lower calorific value which means more fuel is required
release harmful emissions into the atmosphere, exceeding local air quality restrictions, damaging the environment
It is the owners and operators responsibility to demonstrate that the fuel that is feeding an accredited boiler meets the RHI requirements or there is the risk of losing the financial incentive and permit.
The industry message is to adopt a proactive approach. You should act now and gain peace of mind that your investment is protected, whilst also taking environmental due care and responsibility
