Periodic support payments to producers of biomethane
42. Participants producing biomethane for injection shall be paid a periodic support payment in respect of each quarterly period calculated in accordance with the following formula—
A x (B – (C + D + E)) x F,
where—
A is the biomethane and biogas combustion tariff determined in accordance with regulation 37;
B is the kWh of biomethane injected in any quarterly period;
C is the kWh of propane contained in B;
D is the kWhth of heat supplied to the biogas production plant (other than heat contained in feedstock to produce biogas by anaerobic digestion) which produced the biogas from which the biomethane was made, from any heat source other than heat generated from the combustion of that biogas;
E is the kWhth of heat supplied to the biomethane production process; and
F applies only in relation to biomethane made using biogas produced from gasification or pyrolysis, and is the proportion of biomass contained in the feedstock used in the relevant quarterly period to produce the biogas.
