I recently visited DECC, along with representatives from the wood fuel industry, to discuss our experiences with the Biomass Suppliers List (BSL) and ways in which it could be improved for the future.
DECC have released the latest forecast for estimated, committed Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) expenditure for the next 12 months.
Having a big efficient ‘green’ boiler, supplying heat to a whole town or district, is relatively common in Denmark and other countries; in fact one of our clients, Thamesway Energy, does something similar to this in Woking and Milton Keynes.

There has been a push from the Paris energy summit to work on technical solutions to the carbon emissions problem. Solar power has been a key contributor so far, but continuity of supply and energy storage is the big challenge.
Here’s an idea from the States that addresses the problem.
On November 30th, the United Nations will convene for the 21st annual Climate Change Conference (UNCCC).
