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

The document describes a study focused on the cost-effectiveness of biomass power deployment subsidies in Germany and the United Kingdom. It aims to inform policy debates by estimating the magnitude of benefits and establishing a framework that considers all costs and benefits to ensure the efficient use of government resources for low-carbon energy deployment.

• The study aims to develop a multi-criteria framework for evaluating the cost-effectiveness of renewable energy subsidies by considering all associated costs and a broad range of potential benefits.
• Efficient government policy and resource use are identified as critical factors for maximizing the deployment of renewables and maintaining the political viability of subsidies.
