11 Farms & renewables: Photovoltaic German farmers install each year MW of PV (US: 207MW in 2007)
12 Farms & renewables: Wind more than 20,000 windmills (2009) Early driven by farmers in the 1990ies Windy northern Länder with strongest growth Schleswig-Holstein: 40% RE today, 100% by 2020 Community-owned windfarms (45% of market by 2005)

14 Farms & renewables: Biogas 5,000 installations in 2010 Small (<190 kw) and large Power 3.8 mio households Germany is leading the EU in biogas production Biogas as complimentary energy to wind and pv Source: German Biomass Research Center 2009
15 Conclusion Part 1: What are the drivers for German farmers to invest in renewable energies?
16 Driver #1: comprehensive climate and energy policy with ambitious targets - > targets for 2020: 40% less GHG emissions (270 Mio. Tons) 30% share of renewable energy in electricity 14% share of renewable energy in heating (EU energy package: by 2020) -> Policies: carbon taxes in 1999 feed-in tariffs in 2000 Cap & trade in 2005 etc.
17 Driver #2: pro-active German Farm Bureau and renewable energy industry Deutscher Bauernverband (DBV) is lobbying for ambitious renewable energy policies DBV is recognizing climate change as a threat renewable energy industry is well-organized (e.g. German Biogas Association in 1992) and collaborating
18 Driver #3: Social catalysts in Germany Machinery syndicates (>250) work as rural cooperatives and advise farmers, aggregate orders, and organize installations & maintenance. Banks: solid calculation by farmers, safe (=good) business for the banks.
19 Driver #4: Rural Communities striving for 100% renewables Regional economic development: farmers, planners, craftsmen Jühnde was the 1st village to be energy independent in power and heat (biogas for CHP, additional wood chips in winter) by Federation of German Municipalities (DStGB)
20 Summary: German farmers are becoming energy entrepreneurs, because 1. A comprehensive national climate and energy strategy, including a feed-in tariff (FIT) for investment certainty 2. Pro-active farm bureau and renewable energy industry lobby (German Biogas Association: 1992) 3. Social catalysts like banks and machinery syndicates 4. Communities striving for 100% RE regions
21 Part 2: How US Farmers Can Profit From Wind, Biomass, and Solar
22 The Role of Renewable Energy in the Nation s Energy Supply, 2008 Source: U.S. EIA.
23 Renewables on American Farms Situation: Ethanol is the biggest renewable energy success story in the US, with wind, solar, biogas and biodiesel resources being underutilized. Challenge: American farmers could reap benefits of the same level as their German counterparts, if the right political and social support mechanisms were in place and barriers removed.
24 Wind & Solar Power In 2009, farmers & local landowners owned 638 MW (1.8%) of total installed wind capacity. Farmers more likely to lease land to wind farms than own turbines themselves: lost revenue opportunity. Policies: RPS, PTC boom-bust cycles. No estimates of PV on farms, but ~200 MW were installed in the U.S. in German farmers alone install the same amount annually.
25 Biomass DOE/USDA determined that the U.S. has the capability of supplying 1 billion dry tons of biomass from farms by Biomass was 4% of total US energy consumption (2008). At 6%, bioenergy could generate $20 billion in new income for farmers. Source: NREL.
26 Biomass for Transportation Ethanol U.S. is the largest producer of ethanol in the world, with 53% in billion gallons consumed in 2007 ~5% of non-diesel motor fuel (2007) Biodiesel U.S is the 3rd largest producer of biodiesel in the world, following Germany and France in billion gallons consumed in 2007 ~0.7% of total diesel fuel (2007)
27 Biomass for Electricity and Heat Biomass share of net renewable electricity generation: 13.1% Biomass share of net electricity generation: 1.37% (2009) Recent study: electricity from biomass is a more efficient transportation fuel than ethanol (Campbell et al, 2009). Little data on bioheat, but thermal uses of biomass could reduce GHG emissions earlier than through electricity generation.
28 Biogas In comparison, 5,000 anaerobic digesters in Germany.
29 Part 3: Differences Between Germany and the United States
30 Germany Driver #1: Comprehensive climate and energy policy with ambitious targets However, in the US, energy policies are often developed at a state level. 29 States + DC have an RPS. Growing interests in FiTs at state and municipal level. Lack of targets on federal level (except biofuels) Federal policies lack continuity and differ greatly between administrations.
31 Germany Driver #2: A pro-active German Farm Bureau and renewable energy industry In the US, major farm lobbies have traditionally been skeptical of climate change. Some US farm lobbies not convinced that climate legislation is affordable. However, there are differing views among major farm lobbies. Lack of cohesion among renewable energy associations Growing support for a RES, especially with a broad definition of biomass.
32 Germany Driver #3: Social catalysts in Germany US biofuels industry is strongly supported from crop-specific political organizations US banks are generally geared towards a few, large-scaled projects.
33 Germany Driver #4: Rural Communities striving for 100% renewables Community owned projects only account for 2% of total wind capacity in the US Rural electric cooperatives in the US, though they traditionally generate electricity from coal sources, are slowly gaining an interest in power from renewable sources..
34 Part 4: Concluding Remarks and Recommendations
35 Recommendations US Farmers and their representatives should advocate for state renewable energy policies (specifically feed-in tariffs) US agriculture lobbies should support a comprehensive national climate and energy strategy. Rural communities should develop strong stakeholder networks. The US should diversify feedstocks used for biofuels.
36 Suggestions for further research and action Raise awareness of farmers and rural communities with an outreach campaign. Increase farmer-to-farmer exchanges. Develop a biogas roadmap for the US. Create sustainability criteria for biomass in power, heat, and transport. Support research on policy options. Evaluate the benefits of renewable energy, distributed generation and energy independence with quantitative analysis.
