The Government's Greener Homes Scheme, administered by Sustainable Energy Ireland, provides support to individuals wishing to install renewable energy heating technologies in their homes. This scheme, now in operation since early 2006, has underpinned the establishment of a strong supply industry for renewable energy products, services and fuels. The application of strict product standards, installer training and quality schemes, has ensured that consumers are protected and informed in relation to their technology choices. The Greener Homes Scheme specifically supports renewable heat products including solar panels, biomass and gasification boilers, biomass stoves and geothermal heat pumps. The oxyvent tank does not fit into this classification.
