Wood biomass preparation and use

Transcription

1 Wood biomass preparation and use Dr. Nike Krajnc Slovenian Forestry institute

2 Objectives of the module Analysis of the market Analyse of market opportunities Examine institutional and legal aspect Analyse micro and macro economic aspects

3 Market analysis Present use of wood biomass in Slovenia households, other users Wood biomass producers Prices of WB Offer of technology Estimation of future development

4 Households use of wood for heating 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% wood - only source Wood: main source Wood: secondary source Wood is not used Census 1991 Census 2002

5 Profile of wood biomass users in SLO No years and less more then 70 years s taros tni razredi Users of WB Whole population

6 Profile of wood biomass users in SLO 5% 44% 42% 9% Persons in employment Unemployed pensioners others

7 Target group Average WB user is 53 years old Active worker Secondary school degree Country side population

8 Producers of wood biomass 31 registered producers Year production: m3 firewood, loos m3 wooden chips, t pelets in t bricets (10 % of biomass used in SLO). Strukture of use of wood biomass: 0,0% 1,0% 20,5% Households 47,4% Biomass systems Comp. for seling (export) 31,1% Comp. for internal use

9 Prices of wood biomass Prices (avg. - sept. 2004) Fire wood /t 45 /stock m 40 / loos m 3 Wood chips Wooden brickets Wooden pellets from 13 to 25 from 62 to 165,8 from 117 to 186 From 5 to 21

10 Costs of wood biomass production from forests Cutting Skidding Chipping Production of firewood Transportation /m 3

11 Direct costs of biomass production Prices of wood biomass from forests: 17 /loos m 3 wood chips Costs of biomass production for forest owners: Wood chips production: from 12 / loose m3 (Husquarna 365, ZETOR 6340, truck (22 t), middle size wood chipper) to 9 / loose m3 (depending on technologies, forest conditions, forest infrastructure )

12 Future development of WB The biggest rise in micro systems No. of households will rise in medium and long term District heating systems will rise in long term No. of systems for electricity production is not expected to rise

13 Main opportunities Covering whole wood biomass production chain: new opportunity for private forests owner From forests to heat

14 Institutional and legal aspects

15 Private consulting companies Agency for Environment ECOFUND Minist. for envi., plan. and energy International Cooperation AURE Fund for Agricultural Lands and forests International Cooperation Agriculture Office Agency for Agricultural Market and rural development Minist. for agric., forestry and food Forest Office Chamber of Agriculture and forests SFS Environment Office SFI University Ljub., Forest dpt Statistical office Minist. for educ. science and spotr Energy Office Research Institute for building and construction Institue for macroeconomic research Standardisation office Ministry for economy Local Communities NGO Agency fore regional development Chamber of trade Development centers Agric + Forest Energy sector Research Inst Economy

16 Legal aspects Analysis of legislation To make survey of valid legislation To make suggestions for changes of legislation

17 How to intensify the role of SFS Active role in National programme of WB (WB potentials, future development) Cooperation in the preparation of legislation and regulations Extension for forest owners Active cooperation with other bodies in WB process

18 Conclusions Biomass is an important source of energy in SLO (especially for households) Biomass is produced mainly on farms for home consumption Market is developing very fast Costs of biomass production from forests in SLO are lower then market prices but there is small profit 700 new jobs from biomass production from forests in SLO

19 Slovenian Forestry institute Education, training and demonstrations to promote efficient use of WB

20 Activities in the module Extension network LesEnSvet Demonstrations of modern technologies LesEnDemo Biomass road, biomass points Education and training material Events

21 Extension network Training of specialists for effective use of WB Ensure knowledge transfer form different sectors (forest, technology, energetic) Special permanent network (education and share of knowledge) 40 advisors

22 Demonstrations 6 demonstrations of modern technologies Contents district heating system individual heating systems Safety at work Around 1000 visitors in 2004

23 Biomass road ALPENERGYWOOD project to present the best practice of WB use in Slovenia for each side a demonstration panel and a information leaflet is prepared

24 Education and training material Training material for training of advisers Leaflet for each biomass point on biomass road Brochure and poster for the TCP project Folders for participants on conferences Two brochures: one for professionals (foresters) and one for general public

25 Brochure

26 Events Roundtable: Government support of biomass production in Slovenia SFS education day: Wood biomass from the forests International workshop: Production of wood biomass from forests
