All bioliquids and solid biomass and/or [[Biogas]]/[[ | All bioliquids and solid biomass and/or [[Biogas]]/[[Anaerobic Digestion]](AD) stations ≥1MW must report against and meet '''sustainability criteria''' in order to be eligible for [[Renewables Obligation Certificate|Renewable Obligation Certificates]] which was implimented under the [[Renewables Obligation]] in 2009. Solid biomass and/or [[Biogas]]/[[AD]] stations <1MW are required to report against the sustainability criteria, but receiving '''[[ROC]]s''' does not depend on meeting the criteria<ref>[https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/environmental-programmes/ro/applicants/biomass-sustainability [[Ofgem]] Website: Biomass Sustainability Overview, including further links to criteria and guidance]</ref>. Hence smaller projects claiming under the '''[[FIT]]''' scheme, and specifically Anaerobic Digestion projetcs, are required to report. | ||
The sustainability criteria for projects (and specifically [[Anaerobic Digestion]]) seeking payment under the '''[[SEG]]''', from 1st January 2020, rather than the criteria set out below, have specific guidance on reporting from [[Ofgem]], but the principles are similar<ref>[https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/system/files/docs/2019/12/seg_sustainability_guidance_final_0.pdf Guidance for Anaerobic Digestion Generators: SEG sustainability criteria and Reporting Requirements]</ref>. | |||
