11 HUGE POTENTIAL OF BIOMASS RESOURCES Agricultural resources Forestry resources Livestock farming resources Agro-alimentary industry resources OFMSW resources

12 POTENTIAL AGRICULTURAL AND FOREST BIOMASSES KEY: mobilization of stock + Impulse crop implantation

13 POTENTIAL OTHER BIOMASS AND BIOGAS GENERATION Potential Other biomasses (source: PER ) Potential Biogas (source: PER )

15 BIOMASS. ELECTRIC GENERATION Main technologies of electric generation: Rankine Cycle Engines or turbines that use biogas from landfill or from waste water treatment plants Develop new technologies: Pyrolisis Large-scale gasification (BIGCC cycles) Microgeneration systems (< 3MW) Plant of electric generation 18 MW with cereal straw (Briviesca, Spain)

16 BIOMASS. ELECTRIC GENERATION Rankine Cycle Example: Cogeneration plant with biomass. Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC)

17 BIOMASS. ELECTRIC GENERATION Biogas engines and turbines Combustion engine fed by biogas Biogas turbine

18 GASIFICATION Small-size biomass plants STRATEGIC!!! GASIFIER: INTERN COMBUSTION ENGINE: Consumes the generated gas in the gasifier. Produces electric energy. Fuente: GUASCOR

19 BIOMASS. THERMAL GENERATION Biomass can feed a heat production system and S.H.W the same way as if it was made with gas or gasoil. Basic technology: Biomass boilers for the combustion of solid fuels Pellets Chips Olive stones Dried fruit shells etc Example scheme. Biomass boiler

20 BIOMASS. THERMAL GENERATION According to the type of fuel Boiler technologies Specific for pellets Small(< 40 kw) and highly efficient. Low cost Of biomass 25 hundreds of kw Fuel switching allowed under certain conditions mixed o multifuel Power 200 kw Support multiple fuels changing quickly and efficiently from one another According to its technology conventional adapted to biomass biomass standard mixed Pellets to condensation

21 BIOMASS IN SPAIN

22 Level of Biomass target achievement in Spain Renewable Energy Plan target for BIOMASS: 1,317 MW Renewable Energy Plan target for BIOGAS: 250 MW Renewable Energy Plan target for BIOMASS: 1,350 MW Renewable Energy Plan target for BIOGAS: 400 MW July 2013 (source: National Energy Commission, CNE) Biomass: 639 MW installed 49% target lacking 638 MW Growth rate: 7 MW/month Months estimated to reach 100% target: 98 months (= 8 years) Biogas (b.7): 234 MW installed 94% target lacking 16 MW MW mainly from landfill (+ ⅔), not biogas from anaerobic digestion in biodigester

23 SPAIN Spanish Biomass sector in the EU 3 rd position in European ranking by biomass potential Breeding a number of pigs comparable to Germany Solid biomass Biogas Souce: Solid Biomass Barometer Eurobserv er (November 2011) Souce: Biogas Barometer Eurobserv er (November 2010)

24 Biomass strategic advantages CONTRADICTORY! In Spain biomass resources availability is guaranteed (huge potential). Focused on energy generation (thermal + electricity) biomass brings exceptional characteristics, such as: ENERGY: dispatchable and economically feasible for the Spanish power system ENVIRONMENT: wastes recovery (tool against fires, pollution) + reduction of GHG emissions SOCIETY & ECONOMY: job source + national wealthy source (Spanish industry and technology) + rural revitalization + alternative for cracked economies

25 Unfortunately nowadays The Spanish biomass sector suddenly stops its (Limited) development in Spain, due to: The Spanish energy sector remain in a state of flux. It has been subject to a number of interrelated market and regulatory shocks in recent years that have affected its performance and are also likely to shape future developments The Spanish electricity market continues to be characterized by complex and increasingly controversial public policy challenges: 27 January 2012 Royal Decree 1/2012, which suspended until further notice FiT for newly installed generators of renewable power (the Government decreed a moratorium on renewable energy) 27 Dec new Law to introduce 7% tax on all domestic energy production FiT de-indexed from Consumer Price Index + Premium = 0 c July 2013 drafts/proposals: 8 new Royal Decrees + 5 Ministerial Orders ( Electric reform )

28 SPANISH BIOMASS TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM Margarita de Gregorio SECRETARIAT - Manager

29 The Spanish Biomass Technology Platform BIOPLAT is a scientifictechnical sectorial excellence and coordination group consisted of all relevant stakeholders in biomass energy sector in Spain. So encompassing biomass in its broadest sense: resources transformation technologies application processing sustainability and regulatory framework Framework in which all sectors involved in the development of biomass work together in a coordinated way to ensure the commercial settlement of this renewable energy enjoys a continuous growth, in a competitive and sustainable way.

30 MAIN OBJECTIVE BIOPLAT mainly aims at determining the conditions and at identifying and developing viable strategies for the promotion and sustainable commercial development of biomass in Spain. To accomplish this goal it is necessary: To carry out design of technological strategies for the settlement of guidelines which boost the sustainable development of biomass sources in accordance with National and European objectives

31 ESPECIFIC OBJECTIVES The specific objectives of BIOPLAT are: To analyze the current situation of biomass in Spain in all its aspects and to identify needs in R&D. To recommend research funding in areas with high relevance to biomass, covering the whole economic value chain, raising awareness and mobilizing public authorities, both at nationally, regionally and locally level. To propose strategies and sustainable alternatives, in each particular type of technology, to boost biomass market development and the elimination of existing barriers to enable its implementation. To promote coordination between different involved sectors (entities, technology centres, universities, etc.). To spread biomass possibilities and in particular the results and recommendations of the Platform.

32 Spanish Biomass Technology Platform Relations with other national and European Platforms Steering Committee Secretariat Biofuels for transport Biomass for electricity generation Biomass for thermal generation Raw materials Sustainability and regulatory framework Consultative Education and diffusion International relations Biodiesel Combustion Production Sustainability Bioethanol OFMSW Machining and logistics Regulatory framework Biogas Gasification Organic wastes Traceability Algae Synthetic biofuels and birefineries Co-combustion Biogas

35 STRATEGIC RESEARCH LINES Necessity of a clear policy of R&D about biomass: Adequate budget. DOCUMENT of BIOPLAT Promote the development of national equipments and create conditions that boost the development and biomass markets maturity. SRA Indicates those areas or segments of the biomass sector in which it is considered that R&D investment would be a breakthrough in eliminating the barriers Each line consists of an action which generally defines the ultimate objective of the research line. Each action concrete objectives milestones: goals to be achieved in established time periods.. short (5 years), medium (10 years) y large term (15 to 20 years) A total of 16 strategic research lines, defined and classified in two categories: 14 strategic research lines, for the promotion of R&D in biomass sector. 2 support to development lines, horizontal actions to every single area in the biomass sector.
