Assessing the Cost-Effectiveness of Renewable Energy Deployment Subsidies: Biomass power in the United Kingdom and Germany

This report examines the cost-effectiveness of biomass power deployment subsidies in Germany and the United Kingdom, aiming to develop a multi-criteria framework for evaluating renewable energy subsidies by considering all costs and potential benefits.

• The study analyzes biomass power deployment subsidies in Germany and the United Kingdom to inform cost-effectiveness debates by exploring assessment methods and estimating the magnitude and range of benefits across key areas.
• The research is part of a three-study series on renewable energy deployment subsidies, intended to create a multi-criteria framework for evaluation that accounts for all costs and a broad spectrum of benefits to ensure government resources are used efficiently and subsidies remain politically viable.
