Renewable Energy Pathway Presentation.
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.
Pathway Overview.
Raw Material
Manufacturing process + Infrastructure
Pellets and or Briquettes
RHI Tarriff
Biomass Boiler
Sale to customer
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.
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.
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 nondomestic sector that provides payments to
industry, businesses and public sector
organisations.

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
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.
