1 Bioenergy from potential to reality Dr. Horst Jauschnegg President of Austrian Biomass Association

2 Austrian Biomass Association (ABA) members (private persons, companies, organisations) Goal: Increase the use of biomass in the areas of heating, electricity and fuel production Lobbying: Activities to improve the framework conditions for biomass Events: Central European Biomass Conference (2005, 2008, 2011), Austrian Biomass Days, Workshops on current issues Trainings: Since 2000 more than 1,300 companies (installers) have been trained (certified as bio-heat partners) Public work: Press releases on current topics, newspaper Ökoenergie (every two months with a circulation of about units), information brochures, homepage, newsletter for our members

9 Key drivers for the development of bioenergy in Austria Bioheat: Investment subsidies for small scale heating systems (logwood, woodchips, pellets) and biomass district heating plants 700-1,100 MW installed per year Bioelectricity: Green electricity law with guaranteed feed-in tariffs Boom between 2003 and 2007; since 2007 collapse of the market Between 2003 and 2010 the following CHP plants capacity were installed: Solid biomass: 320 MW el Biogas: 78 MW el Biofuels for transportation: Obliged minimum share of biofuels (7% in 2009 reached) Fossil diesel and petrol has a higher mineral oil tax than blended fuels

10 Challenges for the future development of bioenergy in Austria Bioheat Increase efficiency of biomass district heating networks Replacement of fossil heating systems and old-fashioned small scale biomass heating systems by modern biomass heating systems Bioelectricity To push the development of small scale CHP systems based on solid biomass and biogas Mobilisation of biomass resources Forestry biomass especially from small private forest owners Energy plants (short rotation forestry, miscanthus) and agricultural residues (straw, corn cobs, hay, )

17 Forest owners associations as key drivers of wood mobilisation Forest management co-operatives together instead of lonely Forest management co-operatives increase the income decrease the costs

18 Forest owners associations services for members Information about the timber market, consulting Comprehensive range of services offered - Harvesting systems - Timber marketing - Heat contracting based on woodchips - New marketing strategies for solid biomass Coordinated crisis management
