1 Christian Keglovits The Güssing Model An example for a sustainable energy supply

2 Location Burgenland Area (km²) Population District of Güssing Area (km²) 485 Population Town of Güssing Area (km²) 49,3 Population 3.764

3 Our Güssing

4 Situation at the end of the 1980s 50 years alongside iron curtain no industry high rate of unemployment 70% commuters high rate of migration small structured agriculture bad traffic infrastructure

5 The Güssing Model is the strategy of a decentralized local energy production with the existing renewable resources of a region! The Goal: to get independent from fossil energy in order to strengthen the regional added value! This strategy can be adapted individually wherever resources are available.

6 Milestones in Güssing Since 1990: Energy efficiency measures and beginning with production of heat out of biomass Since 2001: Production of electricity (biomass and photovoltaic) Since 2008: Beginning of important research projects (production of synth. Natural gas and production of synth. Liquid fuels). New research institute! Goal for 2011: Pilot project 2MW demonstration plant -> gasification of waste

7 The district heating system of Güssing Since 1996: Gradual grid-development Current grid 35km Convincing arguments: No loss of comfort! Stable energy price!

8 Costs of heating

9 Parador Parkett

10 Photovoltaic plant Güssing& Production of photovoltaic cells Since 2004 Capacity: 27,9 kwp Average amount of Energy: ca. 30MWh Since 2008: 140 jobs Invest. 50 Mio Average efficiency of monocrystalline solar cells: 17,5% Annual output: 85MWp

11 Biomass power plantwood gasification Since 2001 Heat Electricity Synth. Natural Gas (BioSNG) Liquid synth. fuels

12 Anaerobic digestion plant Strem Since 2004 Heat Electricity Biogas

13 Methanisation demonstration plant Güssing Since kWh heat and 182 Nm³ BioSNG produced out of 1 ton of wood chips 1Nm³ SNG -> 10kWh

14 Forschung in Güssing Since 2009 K1-Research Institute Bioenergy Private Non-Profit Research Institute Güssing Energy Technologies GmbH

15 Out of these resources we are producing Heat, Electricity, synthetic Natural Gas, synth. liquid fuels

16 Energy balance town of Güssing Total annual demand (2008): heat (33GWh private, 40GWh public + industries) 73 GWh electricity (7GWh Privat, 33,4GWh Öffentl. Geb. + Gewerbe u. Industrie) 40,4 GWh fuels 47GWh Annual production of energy (2008): heat 4 biomass-district heating plants heat private (cockle stoves, pellets, etc) electricity 2 CHP plants Since 2009 Methanisation (Prod. synth. natural gas) projected 51,2GWh 6,5 GWh 19,2GWh 8,4GWh/a Current degree of self sufficiency regarding heat and electricity: regarding private households and public buildings 100% incl. industries and commercials approx. 56%

17 CO ² Emissions in Güssing CO2 Emissions: 2009: t/a 1996: t/a

18 The added value For the town of Güssing More than 50 new companies More than new jobs netting 9 Mio. a year Total sales volume of energy 13 Mio. a year (2005) Total wood consumption tons a year For the district of Güssing 45% self sufficiency netting 18 Mio. EURO Potential in case of 100% self sufficiency 37 Mio. EURO

19 Plants in the district of Güssing

20 Network EEE Demoplants Research & Development Advanced Training Service Ecoenergy Tourism

21 Regional Bioenergy Partnership Local initiative by the local government Resulted in Administration Demonstration plants In Güssing (town), all over the region and other districts R&D based on national and international cooperation EEE Association Operating unit EEE GmbH Policies Dissemination& Distribution of Güssing Model Energy concepts and policies regional & nationwide. Coop with Province gov. and state gov. Managing Board and RBP of MIB consists of: Local government Representative of Regional biomass plants Regional Management (->Link to E.U.) Province government State Ministries Private members

22 Energy concepts process Development of energy concepts process: 1. Collection of data (surveys) Private households Public buildings Economy/businesses 2. Analysis of data and calculations Estimation of energy demand Potential of energy savings Resources and potential of substitution CO 2 emissions 3. Evaluation of measures 4. Action plan

23 Energy concepts results Energy concept content: 1. Used energy sources & current energy demand 2. Possible energy savings subdivided in following sectors: private households public sector (public buildings, street lighting, etc.) industry 3. Available resources to cover the energy demand ratio between available resources & current energy demand 4. Evaluation of measures 5. CO 2 emissions & potential savings
