Biomass CHP/Anaerobic Digestion (AD) CHP Call for Proposals
In the 2006 Budget presented to the Dail in December 2005, the Minister of Finance announced the allocation of €65 million over the period 2006 to 2010 to “launch several innovative grant schemes relating to biofuels, combined heat and power, biomass commercial heaters and domestic renewable heat grants”. An indicative allocation of €11M was made for a CHP programme to run in the 2006 to 2010 time frame.
The new SEAI Biomass CHP / AD CHP Call for Proposals, with an indicative budget of €5-8 million (out of the €11 million), will provide grant support to assist the deployment of CHP systems fuelled by biomass.
