Bio-Energy Capital Grant Scheme

Bio-energy Capital Grants Scheme funded by DECC
The purpose of the Bio-energy Capital Grants Scheme is to promote the efficient use of biomass for energy, by stimulating the early deployment of biomass fuelled heat and biomass combined heat and power projects. It will do this by awarding capital grants towards the cost of equipment in complete installations.

Sixth Round 
Arrangements are presently being put in place for the administration of the Scheme. Consideration is still being given to the exact structure of Round 6, but it is expected that the terms and conditions will be the same as those of Round 5.

DECC hope to be in a position to launch and be open to applications around late November. There will be a press announcement and full details will be published on the DECC website.

This round will be funded by DECC and is for England only.
It is aimed at businesses, organisations and charities in the commercial, industrial and community sectors that are considering investing in biomass-fuelled heat and/or combined heat and power projects, including anaerobic digestion. It is not aimed at householders or individuals who should consider the Low Carbon Buildings Programme Phase 1, funded by DECC.

There is no minimum grant aid in any one application and the maximum is £500,000 per installation. For more details and application documents please visit www.bioenergycapitalgrants.org.uk
