* Data covers the period from April 2014 to December 2019. The non-domestic RHI has been in operation since November 2011, and the domestic RHI was launched in April 2014.
Biomass systems use plant or animal material to produce electricity or heat. Between April 2014 and December 2019, oil was the most known fuel to be replaced by biomass heat pump, with 55 percent of all fuel types displaced being oil based.
Great Britain has begun a transformation to a low carbon heat system, launching the non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) in 2011 and further implementing RHI in the domestic sector in 2014. The majority of RHI applications and accreditations are located in Scotland. Under the RHI, fossil fuels have been replaced by air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps, biomass and solar thermal systems.
