The European Commission has approved an Irish scheme to support the generation of heat from two renewable technologies: biomass and anaerobic digestion, under EU State aid rules. The scheme will be open to a wide range of heat users, namely commercial, industrial, agricultural, district heating and other non-domestic heat users. Beneficiaries will receive operating aid in the form of a payment for the useful renewable heat generated over 15 years. (The EU press release can be accessed here).
