Description

Renewable energy sources of heat offer the substantial economic, environmental and social benefits associated with renewable electricity but policy to support their expansion is considerably less advanced. The potential for applying various support instruments to renewable heat is considered with advantages and disadvantages discussed. - Highlights: ► A range of policy options can support deployment of renewable heat technologies. ► Effective RES-H policy must consider wider regulation and planning issues. ► Effective RES-H policy must consider the relative maturity of technologies
