The Government regularly review their energy policy and our progress in meeting the four key goals set out in the 2003 Energy White Paper. The Government are currently reviewing the Climate Change Programme and the renewables obligation. The role of combined heat and power (CHP) is being considered as part of both reviews.
CHP plants that burn wood are eligible for support from both the renewables obligation and the climate change levy, reflecting the environmental benefits of this kind of technology.
The Government are undertaking a study on the scope for promoting heat from renewable sources and heat from CHP. In December 2004, DTI and DEFRA commissioned Future Energy Solutions from AEA Technology to estimate the costs of the various technologies used in this market and potential carbon savings. The Government hope to publish the study in due course.
