Equipment for Wood-Fired Boiler Supply under the Renewable Heat Fund and/or Plan de Relance and/or France 2030
ADEME can support companies, local authorities and associations investing in supply platforms, the preparation and storage of wood fuel, or forestry equipment for the wood energy sector.
This aid targets the upstream links of the wood energy chain: logistics platforms, preparation of quality fuel and forestry equipment for producing wood energy. The aim is to secure supply for boilers supported by public policy, with a local resource and controlled fuel quality.

Who can apply
Companies, local authorities and associations with a biomass energy supply project may be eligible. Eligibility also depends on the equipment’s role in the supply chain and its link to the regional organisation of the sector.
Eligibility conditions
The project must help mobilise biomass resources in sufficient quantity and quality for wood boilers. The application must specify the resource mobilised, annual volumes, fuel quality, outlets and consistency with the needs of the target boilers.
