Becoming a DRHI self supplier??

[skyhuck]

Is it possible to use arb arising to produce RHI fuel???

 

I'm thinking of changing to a DRHI qualifying boiler and would want to produce my own fuel from arb arising, its obviously a very green means of producing energy, as the trees are being felled/pruned regardless, so making use of the arising has to be a positive, but I know common sense and the government are strangers, so who knows???????

Don't think so. The self certification route is for wood from your own land. Worth checking up on though.

Fsi cert or from own land I am led to believe.

If its a domestic boiler can your company not register as rhi supplier then sell wood fuel to you or your wife?

Can't say I'm surprised , far better that I landfill the wood (giving off just as much C02 as burning) than burn it and burn less oil, gas or coal.

 

But then this is the same people who think wind turbines are a good idea

Thats the way I'd do it, I registered as a supplier and I told them how my wood was sourced, they had no problem and I am now "certified"....

Is it a mammoth task to register as a rhi supplier? I assume part of the process involves chain of custody of raw material from specified source (though this is only a guess on my part).

 

Skyhuck - can you set it up as a commercial system (does it heat office space/workshops etc)? The payments are then guaranteed for 20 years as opposed to 7 for domestic. I have been told by a couple of customers with commercial set ups that the actual fuel source isn't monitored - the payments are generated by meter readings of heat/power generated apparently.

Not as difficult to register as claimed.

 

In addition depending on where your principles sit - your partner/wife/husband or whoever owns the woodland gets the cert. and you buy off them - simple as that.

Provided you are both reg. as self-employed that's it - no need to overcomplicate in this case as all of this is relative elementary.

Arb arisings are specified as a qualifying fuel for DRHI. I'll find the link it you need it.

That would be great thanks
