There was also the Cash-For-Ash scandal in Northern Ireland. The NI executive gave a lot of subsidies for wood pellet burning.
The subsidies at one point significantly exceeded the price of buying wood pellets. This led to people burning wood pellets in empty farmhouses to make large amounts of money.
Coincidentally, a lot of those who made money out of this, were NI political party donors.
