2 German BioEnergy Association (BBE) The German BioEnergy Association BBE is the umbrella association of the German bioenergy market and was founded in 1998 to bundle the different sectors and initiatives of the bioenergy market to speak with one voice. Members: 25 specialised associations 140 companies 8 universities and R&D institutions

11 Market development bio-electricity support schemes Strong political framework conditions as market driver - Higher E-production costs - Higher entrepreneural risk - Payment period long enough to incite investments? Planning security EEG - Access to market necessary - Avoidance of blockades Level of Remuneration Guaranteed grid access Sufficient? - Cost based? - Market based? Differentiated by - Technology? - Capacity? - Feedstock?... Purchase obligation - Guaranteed market - Prioritized RES-E transmission? - Fair cost allocation to grid operators?

12 Market development bio-electricity support schemes The Renewable Energy Source Act (EEG) Planning security: EEG obligates electricity grid operators to purchase RES electricity, to integrate RES with priority into the e-grid and to pay a minimum remuneration rates for it for a 20-year period The remuneration fees for newly installed power plants are lowered by 1% each year to foster technology development and cost degression Technology differentiated support for all RES enables early development of future RES technologies (learning curves, economies of scale etc.) EEG remuneration is allocated to all consumers (~4 EUR/month), hence polluter pays principle fulfilled while acceptance grows due to low costs EEG is evaluated and amended regularly to react to market developments
