Businesses...we have now been given grant status by the Carbon Trust under The Enhanced Capital Allowance scheme for energy-saving technologies for all seven of our wood log gasification boilers. For further information please see the following link: ECA for energy saving technologies.pdf
Businesses...it is possible for small to medium sized enterprises to borrow from £5,000 to £100,000 on an unsecured basis and payable over a period of up to 4 years.There are no arrangement fees and applying is straightforward go to www.carbontrust.co.uk/loans to find out more.
Farmers....It is possible to obtain grants through Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE) and the Scotland Rural Development Programme (SRDP). This is under the resource efficiency for farmers (R4F) and on approval can be a 40% grant on a biomass installation up to a value of £10,000 (or up to £20,000 for dairy farmers).
As their are 9 RDA's in England you will need to establish which is the appropriate local RDA see www.englandsrdas.com
On expressing an interest for a grant under the R4F an approved
consultant (in a fully funded basis) will arrange a visit to your farm
and draw up an action plan based on your energy usage.
Biomass boilers are an approved technology under this action plan.
If this is then approved you would make apply to the RDA for a grant.
3 quotes are required and the grant approval can take up to 12 weeks.
As stated the grants available are 40% of the installed value of the
biomass boiler up to a threshold of £10000 or £20000 if you are a dairy
farmer (there are some small variations between each of the RDA's).
Homeowners...we are looking to gain accreditation to the microgeneration certification scheme (MCS). This will mean that homeowners will be eligible for a grant when they install a biomass wood gasification boilers by an approved installer. We hope to have this complete by Spring 2010.
Homeowners....under the current Boiler Scrappage Scheme we can confirm that are Angus Super
range are over 90% efficent and would qualify as an A rated replacement under the Boiler Scrappage Scheme. The eligibility is on the proviso that the boiler is installed by a MCS certified installer.
Disregarding grants, we believe our product offers high quality and good value for money. Even without a current grant structure in place, sale of boilers has been steadily increasing month on month.
