Green heating payments to double for householders

| Rates for one-off payments will be increased to support the market as renewable heat incentive delays continue
Payments to help householders switch from heating their homes with oil to greener systems such as biomass boilers and solar thermal will double in most cases, the government is to announce on Monday.
The grants were intended as a stopgap measure until the start this summer of the government's bigger renewable heat incentive (RHI) scheme – ongoing payments akin to the feed-in tariff for solar panels but for generating low-carbon heat . But in March, the RHI was postponed until 2014 , in a delay that industry said it was "bitterly disappointed" with.
From today, rates for the one-off payments, the Renewable Heat Premium Payment (RHPP) scheme , will be increased to support the market through the limbo imposed by the delay.
Energy and climate change minister Greg Barker said: "I want to kickstart this exciting new market for consumer renewable heat technologies. This time ... |

Green investment bank's chief plans to borrow and raise debt
|
9.5.2013 |
Guardian: Environment |
| Shaun Kingsbury says bank's scope must be expanded to bring forward renewable energy and environmental projects across UK
The chief of the UK's £3bn green investment bank is preparing to move the bank to borrowing and raising debt, in order to vastly expand its scope in bringing forward renewable energy and other environmental projects across the country.
The move would be a sharp break with the current set-up of the bank, which on Thursday published data for the first time on its initial investments totalling £635m. It receives money from the Treasury in order to fund green projects, but is not allowed to raise money on the capital markets, in the way normal banks do to fund their investments.
When the Green investment bank (GIB) was launched last year , the Treasury insisted that it should not be allowed to borrow independently, because its debt would appear on the government's balance sheet and could – on paper – make it look as if the deficit was increasing.
But the bank's set-up ... |

Biomass industry should disclose impact

3.5.2013 |
Guardian: Environment |
| Burning wood from whole trees – the main source of UK biomass – results in higher greenhouse gas emissions than coal
Last year, the RSPB, Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace published a report, called Dirtier than coal? , that shone a light on some evidence that the biomass industry would prefer was kept hidden.
We revealed two important facts:
Firstly, government plans to support the conversion of coal plants would mean that by 2017 the UK will be burning 30m tonnes of biomass, most of which will be wood. To give you a sense of proportion, this is about six times the entire UK wood harvest. It will mostly be in coal power stations that are being switched over to biomass .
Secondly, burning wood from whole trees results in higher greenhouse gas emissions than coal. For example, the government's own research has shown that using wood from whole UK conifers results in an increase in emissions of 49% compared with coal.
Since then, the evidence has continued to stack up. Last month, ... |

Renewable energy firms accuse activists of scaremongering over biomass

2.5.2013 |
Guardian: Environment |
| Trade association tells Greenpeace, RSPB and Friends of the Earth they are spreading misinformation over use of fuels
A major row has broken out between green campaigners and companies using wood, straw, waste and other "biomass" fuels to run power stations over how environmentally friendly such fuels are.
The Renewable Energy Association has disclosed to the Guardian a letter accusing some of the UK's biggest green NGOs of scaremongering over their vocal opposition to the use of biomass in generating energy.
Gaynor Hartnell, chief executive of the trade association, which represents the biomass and other renewable energy industries, wrote to the heads of Greenpeace, RSPB and Friends of the Earth, accusing them of spreading "misinformation" and using data that is "not science" and arguments that are "half-baked". She told them: "Some of what has gone on recently is not worthy of your stature … The companies we represent are engaged in practical actions to reduce carbon emissions, improve ... |

Copenhagen's ambitious push to be carbon-neutral by 2025
|
12.4.2013 |
Guardian: Environment |
| The Danish capital is moving rapidly toward a zero-carbon future, as it erects windfarms, transforms its citywide heating systems, promotes energy efficiency, and lures more people out of their cars and onto public transportation and bikes
Among the first sights to greet visitors to Denmark on the descent to Copenhagen's airport is a sweeping arc of wind turbines rising from the harbor. From the airport, passengers can board an automatic Metro line that hustles them to the city center in just 15 minutes, crossing the path of the City Circle Line, a subway project that will place 85 percent of Copenhageners within 650 yards of a Metro station when the line opens in 2018.
Everywhere, visitors are greeted by streams of bicyclists; 36 percent of trips to work or school in the Danish capital are made by bike, and more than 20,000 cyclists enter the city center at peak hours, filling Copenhagen's 249 miles of cycle tracks. Less visible are state-of-the-art facilities where waste heat from power ... |
