The "Pilot Bioheat Boiler Deployment Programme" is a sub-programme of measured support under the Renewable Energy RD&D Programme that stimulates the biomass heat market. The Programme is aimed at accelerating the uptake of biomass boilers for space heating in Ireland by providing capital grant support for the installation of a number of biomass boilers, for large buildings and small industrial sites, around the country. The programme will support qualifying boiler systems typically rated between 60kW and 1,000kW that are fuelled by wood pellets and/or wood chip fuel. It is proposed to offer support of 25% of the capital costs involved in biomass boiler and fuel storage purchase and installation. To stimulate interest and to help ensure good quality projects it is also proposed to support feasibility studies by suitably qualified contractors at 45% of the external costs, up to a maximum of EUR 5000 in each case. This support will be made available for a limited period only, and not after 2006. The total fund available for feasibilitity study grant support is EUR 50,000. The following suggested range of investment costs are provided as a guide to applicants and are intended as general guidelines only. For qualifying boilers rated at 60kW, the investment cost is estimated to be up to EUR 500/kW, including fuel storage. For qualifying boilers rated at 1000kW, the investment cost is expected to be up to EUR 250/kW, including fuel storage. For qualifying boilers between these sizes a linear interpolation will be used to assess investment cost.

Europe’s Russia Sanctions Have a Major Blind Spot

Over the last two years, the EU and UK have emerged as leading actors in imposing sanctions on Russia. But people like Maria Demertzis, Professor at the European University Institute in Italy, have raised questions around the effectiveness of the sanctions campaign, as European institutions continue to operate profitable subsidiaries in the country with little scrutiny. UK and EU regulators should broaden their sanctions campaign by increasing scrutiny of European businesses that remain economically exposed to Russia. The new UK Foreign Secretary,…

The AI Boom Could Triple Data Center Water Use by 2030

The massive data center capacity scale-up underway has focused attention on the scale of water required for these facilities to operate. Rystad Energy estimates that without water-saving measures in place, global water consumption by data centers could rise to 644 billion liters per year by 2030. However, active mitigation could reduce demand to 388 billion liters, representing worst- and best-case scenarios as data center capacity ramps up, driven largely by the growing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in everyday life. Forecasting the…

Venezuela Helped Build OPEC. Now It May Help Break It Apart

Venezuela helped create OPEC. More than six decades later, it is considering walking away, and Washington appears perfectly happy to hold open the door.

No final decision has been made. Venezuela produced about 1.117 million barrels per day (bpd) in July according to OPEC’s secondary sources, and is currently exempt from OPEC production quotas after…
