Businesses and communities throughout the UK can now apply for a heat tariff payment, providing an opportunity for flue accessories across the country to be improved.
These payments make up part of the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), which aims to improve the sustainability of heating tools across the country, including biomass boilers and solar thermal equipment.
Energy and climate change Minister Greg Barker said: "The RHI will usher in a new era in clean green heat technology. It's a world first and has the potential to put the UK at the forefront of a vibrant new green technology sector."
Mr Barker remarked that renewable heat will be a big win for the British economy, supporting thousands of green jobs and reducing the country's reliance on imported fossil fuels.
It is believed that the RHI will play a pivotal role in helping the UK reach its 2020 renewables target, with the government aiming for emissions to be cut by 43 million tonnes of carbon.
