RHI registered producers and suppliers

[ballibeg]

This just popped up in my email,

 

Dear all,

 

The Biomass Suppliers List (BSL) was launched today, 30 April, to applications from producers and traders of woodfuel and Short Rotation Coppice (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/register-your-biomass-fuel-as-sustainable). Producers and traders who wish to access the growing RHI market are urged to apply.

 

The BSL will provide a simple, light touch way for RHI participants to comply with biomass sustainability criteria. The BSL will be a publically available online list of suppliers selling fuels that meet the forthcoming RHI sustainability criteria. The public facing list will be made available to consumers once a sufficient proportion of traders have registered their fuels. We expect this to be later this Spring, although it will depend on the rate and distribution of applications.

 

Those wishing to register as a producer or trader of woodfuel should go to http://www.gov.uk/register-biomass-supplier.

 

For more information on the sustainability criteria and biomass suppliers list please visit the DECC RHI web page - http://www.gov.uk/decc/rhi.

 

Kind regards,

 

RHI Team

Yet another bit of red tape to fill in.

[FJMatt]

anybody registered yet??

[renewablejohn]

I have registered online but still waiting to be vetted

[BARNSLEY BOB]

seems fairly straightforward so far...?

[renewablejohn]

I dont understand the significance of the calculation is it some sort of vetting to reduce fuel miles.

[BARNSLEY BOB]

register another fuel,chip,or pelletts, but imported from n.america or e. europe like drax, and see what you get.?

[FJMatt]

Been looking for a wood for months and finally found one. Owner willing to rent and allow me to extract the windblown lodge pole which is about 75% of the wood. Only trouble is its not in a sustainable forest scheme and the owner is not interested in such a scheme. Am I right in thinking the woodland is worthless as I cannot sell the timber due to the sustainability criteria.

I may be a little bit green about the timber business but this RHI thing seems to be bad news for everyone!

Everyone I have spoken to says it will only jack the price of timber products higher and probably price many out of the industry :-(

I mean the price of timber surprises me tbh and I don't really understand why the government are poking there nose into the industry...? especially as by the sounds of things it will just make people's life harder with more senseless red tape!

What do you guys think...? As most of you will be the first victims I'd of thought.
