| Renewable Heat Incentive Update
The suspense on whether the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) would still go ahead was finally put to an end as part of the Comprehensive Spending Review on 20 October 2010. £860 m has been allocated from annually managed expenditure, rather the original plans for a Renewable Heat Levy, however the details are yet to be announced.
The press release from DECC may be found on their web site.
We currently expect to hear the details by the end of March, and it is still intended that the scheme launch in June.

About the BIOMASS Energy Centre (BEC)
The BEC aims to draw together information from existing sources into one easy to use service based around this website and an information enquiry service to UK individuals, companies, local authorities and other UK organizations.
This website focuses on the various biomass fuel types that are commercially available or being researched. It provides basic information on fuel processing and supply chains, currently with an emphasis on woodfuel and heat production.
