Australia Austria Brazil Denmark Finland France Germany Norway Republic of Ireland Republic of Korea Sweden Switzerland The Netherlands United Kingdom Bernadette McCabe Bernard Drosg / Günther Bochmann Jeferson Toyama Teodorita Al-Seadi Saija Rasi Olivier Théobald / Guillaume Bastide Jan Liebetrau Tormed Briseid Jerry Murphy (Task Leader) Ho Kang Mattias Svensson Urs Baier Mathieu Dumont Clare Lukehurst / Charles Banks

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

7 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

19 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
