The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) degression mechanism for both biomethane and biogas depends on four factors, which are calculated quarterly: The forecast spend for each individual technology (e.g. biogas, biomethane) for the following 12 months, based on pre-accreditations, deployment and…
The next Biomethane to Grid Working Group will be held on Wednesday 25 March from 10:30-13:30 at ADBA’s office in London. The group chaired by Thom Gornall from Greenlane Biogas will focus on areas such as CV measurement, biomethane in…
As I posted in January, the Energy Networks Association (ENA) is planning to consult on options to reduce costs of CV measurement at biomethane sites. This week, the biomethane campaign group we established with ENA met to discuss the consultation…
You may remember in December we provided a briefing note on DECC's announcement of a new set of biomethane RHI tariffs. Today we have received confirmation that the changes announced in the government response to the biomethane tariff review are…
As we reported earlier this week, the updated carbon calculator has now been published. Operators or developers who are expecting to use the calculator to demonstrate compliance with sustainability criteria now have the opportunity to start using the new version,…
As one of ADBA's partners UK AD & Biogas 2015, ENDS Waste&Bioenergy is sharing regular insights from its reporting on the European biogas, biomass and waste to energy sectors. At the end of 2013 there were 14,500 operational biogas plants…
Following the RHI biomethane tariff announcement in December, several members have contacted us for clarification on the way in which the first degression of new tariffs will be calculated for July 2015. Our understanding, as explained in our (now updated)…
As we mentioned several times on these blogs towards the end of last year, we spent a large amount of time with some members contributing to the development of the biomass and biogas carbon calculator. Thank you to those members…
DECC have released data on their RHI 'Estimated commitments' page showing that the large uptake of biomethane in the RHI continued in November. The forecast expenditure for biomethane is now way above the level forming part of the calculation for…
DECC have confirmed the new biomethane RHI tariffs in a written ministerial statement, which you can read here. For biomethane, DECC will apply a ‘tiered’ approach, as we called for on the basis of strong consensus among member responses. This…
