Title (orig.): Bioenergy: a burning issue
The UK is currently witnessing a major rush to build large-scale electricity-only biomass plants as well as seeing an increase in biomass used in co-firing. The scale of proposed power plant development dwarfs the planned use of domestic fuel resource. Instead, many of these new plants are expected to be dependent on imported biomass. They are generally being built on the UK coast near port facilities with expected sources of feedstock from Canada, the US, Russia and the Baltic States, among others. Furthermore, new plants are often being sited in locations where it is either not possible or not economic to capture the substantial quantities of heat produced, significantly reducing their efficiency and therefore their ability to deliver greenhouse gas emissions reductions.

Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland Bioenergy roadmap Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland 2010 IE Show detail
Title (orig.): Bioenergy roadmap
In 2010 a Bioenergy Roadmap for Ireland was developed and published to outline the growth potential of bioenergy in Ireland to 2050 such as:
Annual abatement of over 11Mt of CO2
Bioenergy is highly suitable for inclusion in a national distributed energy network
Over 3,500Ktoe of indigenous resources are available for the bioenergy supply chain by 2050
bioenergy in transport should meet 27% of total transport primary energy demand
biomass in electricity generation should meet 28% of total electricity demand
biomass should meet 40% of total heat demand
reach 80% emissions reduction

Swedish Government Quota system for renewable energies Swedish Government 2003 FIN Show detail
Title (orig.): Quota system for renewable energies
Act No. 2011:1200 obliges electricity suppliers, certain electricity consumers and energy-intensive companies to annually acquire renewable energy certificates in due proportion to their electricity sales and their consumption by a set date (Chapter 4 §§ 1 and 4 Act No. 2011:1200). Furthermore, the Act stipulates the conditions in which owners of renewable energy generation plants may acquire electricity certificates (Chapter 2 §§ 1-13 Act No. 2011:1200).
In general, all renewables, including biogas generated from biomass, are eligible for the quota system (Chapter 1 § 2 No. 2 Act No. 2011:1200). One certificate is issued for every MWh of electricity produced, regardless of the generation technology employed (Chapter 3 § 2 Act No. 2011:1200). Obligated persons that fail to satisfy their quota obligation shall pay a quota obligation fine.
During the past few years, certificate prices ranged between 15 and 40 €/MWh.
A change introduced in 2006 was the extension of the validity of the certificates from 2010 to 2030 in order to improve long-term investment security.
According to the Swedish Energy Agency, Sweden and Norway introduced a common electricity certificate market on 1 January 2012. The producers of RES electricity receive certificates in their own country. These certificates can be traded on both the Swedish and Norwegian markets (Chapter 1 § 5 Act No. 2011:1200).
The Swedish RES quota system has led to an increase of the share of RES electricity from 51.2% in 2004 to 60% in 2012. During the first few years, mainly biomass power plants (and to a smaller degree hydro-power) benefitted from the scheme while in recent years, the share of wind energy has been steadily increasing.

Swedish Tax Authority; Ministry of the Environment Tax regulation mechanisms Swedish Tax Authority; Ministry of the Environment 1990-2010 SWE Show detail
Title (orig.): Tax regulation mechanisms
Tax reductions for households. Act No. 2009:194 sets rules for the tax-deduction of RES-related installation works in households. The installation of renewable energy devices and the replacement of conventional heating sources with renewable ones may be deducted from tax.
Energy and carbon dioxide taxes. In Sweden, energy and carbon dioxide taxes are levied on the supply, import and production of fossil fuels for heating purposes. Renewable energy sources are exempt from these taxes. The biogas must be certified with sustainability certification according to Chapter 3 § 1b Act No. 2010:598. Biomass must also be certified with sustainability certification according to Chapter 3 § 1b Act No. 2010:598.
Nitrous oxide tax. The producers of heat are obliged to pay a tax according to their nitrous oxide emissions. Heat producers using renewable energy sources are exempt from this obligation.
All renewable energy technologies are exempt from the tax obligations.
