Comprehensive Guide to Renewable Energy Pathways and the Renewable Heat Incentive

This presentation explores energy pathways, highlighting their significance in renewable energy cycles, from raw material sourcing to energy output and utilization. It covers essential aspects such as manufacturing processes, infrastructure, and the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), the first long-term financial support program for renewable heat launched in 2011. Learn about RHI tariff calculations, payment structures, and the benefits of tailored manufacturing for efficiency and viable project outcomes. Additionally, find out about our bespoke REP design and implementation services to meet client energy needs.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Renewable Energy Pathway Presentation.

  2. What are Energy Pathways. • Energy pathways are complete cycles that start with a raw material with energy potential and provide a complete pathway from the production of fuel to the final multi-use energy output, and its subsequent utilisation.

  3. Pathway Overview. Raw Material Manufacturing process + Infrastructure Pellets and or Briquettes RHI Tarriff Biomass Boiler Sale to customer

  4. Pathway Features. • Availability, selection and preparation of raw materials. • Specification and suitability of manufacturing process components. • Assessing and upgrading manufacturing infrastructure. • Market and technical decisions regarding end product specification – pellets or briquettes. • Choice, sizing and suitability of biomass boilers, and commercial applications of outputs. • RHI certification.

  5. Pathway benefits. • Ensuring quantity and quality of raw product at initial stage confirms viability of the project. • Tailoring manufacturing plant specification to quantity and quality of raw product ensures efficiency of production and future proofing. • Carrying out necessary adaptions to infrastructure and services avoids rescaling and upgrading early in the pathway. • Ensuring correct boiler sizing and specification gives RHI qualification and maximises output in a selected energy utilisation mode.

  6. Renewable Heat Incentive - RHI • The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) is the world’s first long-term financial support programme for renewable heat. Launched  in November 2011 with a scheme for the non-domestic sector that provides payments to industry, businesses and public sector organisations.

  7. RHI Tarriffs

  8. RHI Payment Calculations. You are paid a certain amount per kilowatt hour (kWhth). For a simple system: This is calculated by multiplying the appropriate tariff by the amount of eligible heat generated in the relevant quarterly period. The formula is: Payment = Tariff level x Heat generated by RHI installation The formula to determine how many kWh have been produced  is: Eligible heat used on system * Heat generated by RHI Installation                                                          Total heat generated on system

  9. RHI Payments The RHI provides financial support for renewable heat technologies for the lifetime of the installation (to a maximum of 20 years). Payments are made on a quarterly basis. Once you are accredited under the RHI, a tariff level will be assigned to your installation based on its technology (e.g. biomass, heat pump, solar) and size and payments will be made based on the actual heat output of the system. Payments begin to accrue from the date of accreditation of the installation. The date is confirmed in the accreditation confirmation letter emailed to successful applicants.

  10. . REP Design & Implementation Service. • This agreement encompasses the overall design and specification for a bespoke REP system and consists of: • Client meeting and brief. • Site assessment for building and services suitability. • Agreement on REP format to include type of end product and energy transfer if required. • Detailed specification and layout of all plant required to achieve client aims. • Costings’ for installation and commissioning of complete system. • Advice on certification and licensing where required. • Full client confidentiality. • Fixed fee to cover all the above • Small---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------£2,000 • Medium-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------£4,000 • Large---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------£6,000 • _________________________________________________________________________Plus VAT • If the client awards the supply and installation contract to Lancashire Fuels 4U Ltd, the above fee will be deducted from the final invoice.

  11. Web Site. • Our website has been designed to provide a wide range of information concerning all aspects of the renewable fuels industry from machinery to end product information also giving you the ability to use Biomass Boiler calculators and give you all the basic information you need to start making informed decisions. • Please continue to make full use of the site, and do not forget to bookmark for future reference. • Thank you for visiting Lancashire Fuels 4U.
