3 Key question to be discussed in this presentation What will be the role of biomass (district) heating in a future integrated energy system and how may biomass (district) heating contribute to sector coupling? How could sector coupling between heating and electricity sector affect future investment decisions in biomass (district) heating systems? CHP? P2H?

4 Heat pump constellation for increasing return flow temperature using flue gas condensation as heat source and achieving attractive COPs Biomass boiler Heat pump District heating supply line District heating return line Flue gas condensation 6

5 Examples of heat pump integration in biomass district heating, based on flue gas condensation as heat source Examples of heat pumps using flue gas condensation in biomass based district heating systems as heat source and temperature increase of the return flow; Ökoenergiepark-Bergheim (Salzburg AG): source temperature: 50/40 C, sink: 50/60 C, COP: ~5.5 Bioenergie Bucklige Welt: ecop heat pump; in summer, heat pump can provide full heat supply and avoid inefficient operation of biomass boiler; Several examples of serial heat pump integration in fossil and waste incineration based district heating systems, e.g.: Malmö Waste incineration, 9 C increase of return temperature, additional heat supply by waste incineration, COP 5,43 Svendborg waste incineration: CHP, increase of return temperature, COP 5.2 Ulstrup Kraftvarmeværk/ Say Varmeværk in Denmark: Gasboiler with heat pump. Summer: air as heat source; winter: flue gas condensation as heat source. Gas engine combined with a heat pump: in Stapelfeld / Hamburg: 7

18 Conclusions

19 Conclusions Stronger integration of all renewable energy sources will be required to meet ambitious climate mitigation targets. Biomass and heat pumps may become an economically attractive technology portfolio (in particular beyond ). Economic effectiveness depends on future development of: Electricity price Biomass price Required temperature level (supply and return temperature) P2H and CHP are effective for hedging against short- and long-term price risks: In periods of high electricity prices, CHP will be attractive, in periods of low electricity prices P2H. Biomass (district heating) plants should be understood more and more as essential components of energy hubs, linking different sectors of a more and more integrated energy system.
