The RHI Schemed closed to new applicants on 31st March 2021. Farm 2000 boilers are suitable for replacing most boilers already approved on the Non-Domestic RHI scheme.

The Renewable Heat Incentive is a generous UK support mechanism paid on a kWh basis for heat produced from renewable energy, including biomass . For the latest information and updates see the following websites DECC and OfgemRHI. Particularly with regards to the certification of wood supply (BSL).

There are two versions:

Commercial — this is for commercial installations, but also includes TWO domestic houses and above, or ONE house plus at least one other building (e.g. farm workshop).Provided the boiler output is above 45 kW, then the boiler and installation do not have to be MCS Certified, and therefore FARM 2000 HTR and BB boilers are eligible; see note below on Emission Certification.
Domestic— FARM 2000 boilers are not eligible for Domestic RHIEmission Certificates ( Dust & NOx )Since September 2013, all RHI eligible biomass boilers, have had to comply with emission limits on dust and NOx. Certification procedures have been established, and RHI is only paid to boilers that are certified to meet the RHI Emission Standards.FARM2000 boilers that have the required RHI Emission Certificate are models:
- Wood Logs only
  HT46R (54kW), HT50R (85kW), HT60R (120kW)
- Wood logs and straw
  HT70R (161kW), HT80R (195kW), BB144/3R (210kW), BB146/3R (235kW), BB154/3R (235kW), BB244/3R (245kW), BB254/3R (275kW) and BB254H/3R (293kW).

From October 2015, RHI participants will have to demonstrate that their fuel complies with RHI standards. This can be achieved either by using sustainable fuels provided by those approved on the Biomass Suppliers List (BSL) or by registering as a ‘self-supplier’.
