  • The application submission deadlines end in November and December 2020.
  • The aid is non-refundable under the competitive competition.
  • Projects and investment actions in facilities that improve management and optimize thermal production and biogas production facilities may be the object of the aid.
  • In addition to biomass boilers and biogas installations, cogeneration installations that use organic rankine cycles (ORC) and new equipment for the use of biomass or biogas treatment that use existing treatment or digestion equipment are eligible.
  • In all biomass projects it is mandatory to use 100% renewable biofuel. In non-industrial thermal installations of less than 1 MW, the biomass equipment used must prove that it meets the requirements for seasonal energy efficiency and emissions established in the Ecodesign Regulation, and the biofuel must be certified with the highest quality according to any of these standards. : UNE-EN-ISO 17225-2 (class A1); UNE-EN-ISO 17225-4, (class 1); 164003 (class A1); or 164004 (class A1).
