The obligation with respect to sustainability is that the biomass fuel used is registered on the Biomass Suppliers List (BSL).

Bidders will be required to include relevant documentation concerning wood pellets, notably certification relating to the BEIS RHI BSL, or equivalent accreditation of the wood pellets, e.g. ENPlus, certification confirming wood pellets have moisture content below 12% and confirmation that blown delivery can be accommodated. The moisture content of the wood pellets must be less than 12% and a fuel emissions certificate must be provided.
