4 Summary Motiva organized a two-day study tour related to biomass in the district heating sector. A special focus was set on the utilization of wood biomass as a fuel for small and medium scale district heating plants. The twoday program consisted of a workshop/seminar (half day) with speakers from district heating and bioenergy experts, continued by a field trip to bioenergy heating plants (1.5 days). The tour took place February 2017 in Tampere, Finland with participants from Ukraine, Greece, Ireland and Finland. The feedback from participants was excellent, score was 4.67 out of 5 (see Appendix). B4B Study-tour group at Puuwatti Ltd district heating plant

8 2.2 Summary of the study-tour Welcome, Introduction Timo Määttä, Motiva Bioenergy4Business project was briefly presented to the participants. Timo presented also some basic facts about Tampere and Finland. B4B study-tour group in the seminar room at Sokos-hotel in Tampere Bioenergy heating success in Finland Hannes Tuohiniitty, Bioenergy association of Finland Hannes explained the current bioenergy situation in Finland. It has already reached its EU 2020 renewable energy targets, mainly by using bioenergy. By 2020 the plan is that coal will no longer be imported for energy production and renewable transport will be around 40%. The general trend expected will be for fossils to go down and renewables and nuclear to go up. (2 nuclear plants are being built now in Finland). Finland is getting close to the Swedish model, this is mostly down to the National Climate Change Strategy, wood fuel production is going up 30% this year ( 50 million cubic metre).

9 Heat entrepreneur providing heat as a service Mikko Tilvis, Forestry Centre The Finnish Forestry Centre (FCC) offers information directly to forest owners, the website offers a portal through which people who own forest property in Finland can conduct business related to their forests; the portal connects owners with related third parties, including providers of forestry services. This makes it easy to commission management work and to be in touch with forestry professionals. Mikko told about bioenergy cooperation in Pirkanmaa. Hybrid solutions are becoming more popular. There is an increasing interest on solar energy, and the interest in biogas is rising. Heat entrepreneurship started in the 1990 s. He showed an informative video on heat entrepreneurship. The heat entrepreneur sells heat based on MW/hour rate of delivered energy, approximately currently. The heat entrepreneur is responsible for the whole supply chain; he is the investor and the owner. Typically the wood fuel boilers capacities range between 0.5 4MW in size. In 2016 Finland has 600 heating plants operated by an entrpreneur, some of these are CHP but primarily they are for heating. There are 350 heat companies all together and that means that heat companies often have 2 or 3 plants. After presentation there was a lot of discussion about profitability of heat entrepreneurship Wood fuel logistics and supply Arto Kettunen, TTS Arto Kettunen from TTS looked at the bigger picture, he talked about the current megatrends, the key directions are technological development, sustainability crisis, challenges to global economy (these all have connections to wood fuel). technology, emissions of combustion, costs and productivity in supply change. f sustainable energy production private sometimes a problem ogistical cost, transport, small wood lots, distance from logging sites 9

10 Case: Bioheat in company Jyki Ltd Timo Määttä Jyki is best known for for log transportation, they are based in Längelmäki which is 100Km from Tampere. In 2011 they constructed a wood chip heating plant. They contracted Ariterm to build a 500kW (wood) and 800kW oil boiler. From plans to build it was 2 years. They have a local heat entrepreneur in charge of wood fuel procurement. Lunch Site visits Puuwatti Oy, Pellet boiler Heat for cement factory and small district heating network, wood chips Address: Pinotie, Ylöjärvi Mr. Veli-Pekka Alanen This build started in 2008, it s a 4MW boiler that can take both chip and pellets. Installation costs were 350,000 for the boiler, 250,000 for oil boiler, 50,000 for the fuel storage. It was around 650,000 for full cost of build and an additional 500,000 for the 4km of pipes for the district heating network. Total build cost was around 1,100,000. Leppäkosken lämpö, Pellet boiler District heating 2 x 3 MW pellet boiler Address: Nuijamiestentie 15, Nokia Mr. Risto Mikkonen Leppäskosken lämpö is a 6MW pellet heating plant, the plant heats the Nokia Vihola part of the city and is part of Nokia's district heating network. It was built in 2014 by Ariterm (Ariterm is on of the largest contractors of heating plants in Finland). Currently the plant is only used in summer when the weather is hot and there is a low demand for heat or when it s really cold and they need extra heat on the network.

11 There is another plant nearby that takes the main load. There are 2 x 3mw pellet boilers, There are 4 burners, 1.5 x 4 = 6 MW. Tampere Energy, wood chip boiler 50 MW wood chip boiler Address: Väkipyöränkatu, Tampere (Hervanta) Mr. Hannu Hoivassilta Ms. Terhi Vairema CHP and district heating for Hervanta which is a suburb of Tampere - The 50MW woodchip-fired heating plant is connected to the city's district heating grid as a base load plant, and it produces district heat mainly for the Hervanta area. Delivery trucks of woodchip arrive every 3 hours to fuel this plant (except at weekends) 11

12 Restaurant Myllärit, Åkerlundinkatu 4, Tampere The first day of the tour was concluded with a networking dinner, where cooperation and business opportunities were discussed.

13 Day 2 Departure by bus Tampere Energy, pellet boiler 37 MW boiler Mr. Hannu Hoivassilta Valmet delivered a 33 MW pellet-fired heating plant to produce district heat for the city of Tampere, Finland, and municipalities in the surroundings. The heating plant operates as a peak load and as a backup plant, replacing some of the capacity of the existing oil- and gas-fuelled boiler plants. It has a new modern pelletfired boiler which significantly reduces CO2 emissions. It started up in December 2012, the wood pellet are grounded to dust and used in combustion. It s original heat output is 33 MW and it was upgraded to 37MW in It s the first wood pellet dust fired combustion plant in Finland. The wood pellets are chosen over wood fuel where there is a restriction on space in a built up area. Yearly heat production is 200GWh (2014) and 120GWh (2015). Altia distillery, wood chip boiler Address: Valta-akseli Rajamäki Mr. Kari Kuusela ADVEN (Advanced Technology) manage this system and one of their engineers showed us around. It was built in 2002 and heating started in It generates 48,000 Mwh per year. That s about 56,000 cubic metres of fuel. The wood fuel is 65% logging residues and 35% spruce bark. It bought from a contractor who gives a yearly price. There are 500 deliveries of wood a year, that about 2 every working day. 13

14 The storage is 500 cubic metres. Biomass plates pull from underneath onto a hidden tract. KPA Unicon are the makers of the boiler. There is a high power demand on this site because it supplies to an Enzyme Factory with high power needs. About 440 tonnes of ash each year, thats 2 pickups of ash per week in the winter, a contractor deals with this and spreads on the forestry as fertiliser. There are 2 x 8MW oil boiler used as backup. If the bars falls below 9 the backup automatically starts up. Heating plant operated by a heat entrepreneur Nummelan Energia Oy, Mikko Keisala Mikko Keisala is a heat entrepreneur for 5 years, he the owner of Vihdin Energia Oy. He has 2 heat sites in Nurmijavi and Nummela. We visited the Nummelan Energia Oy site which heats Vihti high school and swimming hall. He has 2 x 1 MW Faust boilers working side by side. He has a backup oil boiler that he bought back from the school and moved to his site. Hi fuel storage shed is 300 cubic metres and when full, it s a week of fuel for the boilers and a month worth of fuel in the summer. Hydraulic cylinders move the fuel backwards and into the boiler feeders. Fuel is woodchip at about 35% moisture content.
