10 BioenNW Delivering Bioenergy to North West Europe Strategic Initiative Partnership Work Programme Achievements Horizon 2020

11 Work Programme Create and operate a pan European network of Bioenergy Support Centres; Develop the Decision Support Tool investment enhancement tool; Develop and operate commercial scale technology demonstrators Pyroformer and Pyrofabs: mobile testing units; Identify locations and prepare development plans for bioenergy power plants.

12 Bioenergy Support Centres Network 5 centres 500 members Information Hubs Objectives: - promotion of bioenergy, support for local bioenergy provision, engagement with policy makers, financial organisations and companies Services: - advise on investment opportunities, advise on technology relevance, provide access to biomass testing facilities, operate the Decision Support Tool, organise promotional events: regional and international (80 events attended by people)

13 Decision Support Tool Elements of the DST: - GIS database for spatial data, project design model, technology integration model, supply chain model, risk management model.

14 Demonstrate technology at a commercial scale Install demonstration equipment at 2 sites Collate data on the performance of digestion and pyrolysis for the DST and BSC libraries Use demonstration sites for education and training purposes

15 New bioenergy schemes Work with key actors to identify bioenergy sites Produce 5 project development plans for each BSC region Deliver a new bioenergy scheme to point of build in each BSC region

16 UK: Development Sites Harper Adams University Project: MW demonstrator plant Site: existing building on University campus Technology: AD Plant - Pyroformer + BAF CHP Feedstock: AD digestate for Pyroformer

17 UK: Development Sites CWM Harry Project Project: 5,000tpa capacity, education, R&D Site: Ludlow, Shropshire Feedstock: Municipal, commercial, agricultural Technology: AD Plant - Pyroformer - CHP

18 France: Development Sites For Anaerobic digestion Riding school of Vernouillet Project still in discussion 45 horses, 9 hectares To treat manures, straw and wastes from the restaurant inside 4/02/14 Objective: Treat 1000 tonnes/ year. But can reach tonnes if we convince the stud farms around No funding to launch a feasibility study. Trying to get some subsidies to do it.

19 Netherlands: Development Sites Flying on manure Involved: Innovation Network ( market for manure ), University Amsterdam (Aviation management), Eindhoven airport, SRE Location: Eindhoven airport Feedstock: pig manure Technology: unknown Research proposal (UA) finished, research in progress: demand airport, supply kerosene Required: BioenNW collaboration, technical information + examples application manure jet fuel

20 Netherlands: Development Sites MBM EcoSon (5) Involved: EcoSon (VION company), SRE Location: Son & Breugel municipality (EcoSon site) Feedstock: Meat and Bone Meal (MBM) Technology: PyroFormer Development Green Park: refinery, biogas, bio-phosphate Required: test results Harper Adams, more convincing information (Mass and Energy Balance) and collaboration

21 BioenNW Delivering Bioenergy to North West Europe Strategic Initiative Partnership Work Programme Achievements Horizon 2020

22 Achievements - Pan European Network of Bioenergy Support Centres fully operational 370 members 50 events organised regionally and internationally attended by nearly 6000 participants Run the Regional Competition in 3 partner regions to identify bioenergy schemes 6 Bioenergy Development Plans delivered 15 Bioenergy Development Plans in a pipeline Technology demonstration at two sites: Harper Adams University and Aston University Tested pyrolysis waters impact on the anaerobic co-digestion of food waste and animal slurries Prototype of Decision Support Tool has been built. It covers: Locational modelling Technology pathways Economic modelling
