2 Presentation Overview Overview of IEA Bioenergy Task 37 Work programs and outputs Country Report Summary 2016 Reporting Australian biogas data How do we compare with other member countries? IEA Bioenergy Task 37

3 IEA Bioenergy presently has 10 Tasks Task 32: Biomass Combustion and Co-Firing Task 33: Thermal Gasification of Biomass Task 34: Pyrolysis of Biomass Task 36: Integrating Energy Recovery into Solid Waste Management Task 37: Energy from Biogas Task 38: Climate Change Impacts of Biomass and Bioenergy Systems Task 39: Commercialisation of Conventional and Advanced Liquid Biofuels from Biomass Task 40: Sustainable Bioenergy Markets and International Trade: Securing Supply and Demand Task 42: Biorefineries: Sustainable Processing of Biomass into a Spectrum of Marketable Biobased Products and Bioenergy Task 43: Biomass Feedstocks for Energy Markets IEA Bioenergy Task 37

4 IEA Bioenergy Task 37 address the challenges related to the economic and environmental sustainability of biogas production. Website: IEA Bioenergy Task 37

5 Scope of Task 37 Studies Agricultural slurries, crops & crop residues Organic fraction of municipal solid waste Waste water treatment/sewage sludge (Landfill gas) Heat, electricity generation & CHP Up-grading to biomethane - Injection into grid/compression for vehicle fuel Storage and Power-to-gas IEA Bioenergy Task 37

10 Data capture: Australian Biogas Survey

11 Status of biogas production in Australia Substrate/Plant type Estimated Number of plants Number of plants from survey Potential Production (GWh/year)* Sewage sludge (WWTP) Biowaste Agriculture Industrial Landfill 129** - 1,140** Total ,442 * Calculated from the estimated electricity production and an assumed efficiency of 35% with 70% methane content in biogas. ** From 2006 Sustainable Power Plant Register, Australian Business Council for Sustainable Energy IEA Bioenergy Task 37

12 Biogas utilisation in Australia Table 2.2: Utilisation of biogas in Australia* (data from survey at end of respondents) Plant type Electricity (%) Heat (%) CHP (%) Flare (%) Biowaste Sewage sludge Industrial Agricultural *No data for landfill

14 Annual biogas production in the IEA Bioenergy Task 37 member countries

15 Comparison of Financial Support Systems Country Financial Support systems Australia Austria Brazil Denmark* Finland France Germany Norway Republic of Ireland Republic of Korea Sweden Switzerland The Netherlands UK LGCs, ERF, FIT (low); investment grants FIT dependent on capacity and end utilisation; 30% manure mandatory Low C emissions policy; credit facility for family agriculture FITs for biogas used in: CHP or B to G; transport or industrial purposes FIT for electricity and heat (dependent on capacity); investment grants FIT for electricity and upgrading (specific for substrate); subsidies via financial funds New EEG (Aug 2014) funds restricted to waste and residues. New FIT set (with increase in manure use) 2 incentives: banned landfilling of biodegradables from 2009 and payments to biogas plants that treat manure; green certificates for electricity generation (low). Tax exemptions for biogas used as vehicle fuel. 2013: Landfill levies & requirement for source segregation of food waste. Incentives for digestion of OFMSW. FIT dependent on capacity and end utilisation No tariffs or subsidies No FIT but use other support systems mainly used focussed on increasing the use of biomethane as automotive fuel FIT for electricity depending on if used substrate and utilisation. Voluntary support program for biomethane injection New support scheme launched in 2014 forces renewables to compete with one another. Scheme favours large scale facilities (small scale need to demonstrate heat is utilised) FITs encourage the provision of small scale low C electricity (<5MW). ROCs; RHI for heat, biogas and biomethane
