3 The German Bioenergy Association The German BioEnergy Association BBE is the umbrella association of the German bioenergy market and was founded in 1998 to bundle the different sectors and initiatives of the bioenergy market to speak with one voice. Actually there are approx. 25 specialised associations, 8 R&D institutes and 130 companies member in BBE.

16 Structure The German BioEnergy Association Targets, Status Quo and potential of bioenergy in Germany The Renewable Energy Source Act (EEG) as market driver Bio-electicity market development - Biogas - Biomass CHP

17 The Renewable Energy Source Act (EEG) as market driver The Renewable Energy Source Act (EEG) Since March 2000 EEG obligates electricity grid operators to purchase RES electricity, to integrate RES with priority into the e-grid and to pay a minimum remuneration rates for it for a 20-year period The remuneration fees for newly installed power plants are lowered by 1% each year to foster technology development and cost degression Since 2009 operators can choose monthly whether they obtain EEGremuneration or place their RES-E on free markets EEG remuneration is allocated to all consumers, hence polluter pays principle fulfilled EEG is evaluated and amended regularly to react to market developments

18 The Renewable Energy Source Act (EEG) as market driver The Renewable Energy Source Act (EEG) CHP bonus The remuneration for RES electricity contains a basic fee + several bonuses, thereof one bonus for CHP to improve efficiency and heat use With 3 Ct/kWh in 2009 amended EEG 2009 provides higher CHP-bonus (2 ct/kwh in EEG 2004 ) New biomass power plants > 5 MW el can only claim EEG remuneration if operating in CHP Biomass power plants already in operation before 2009 and producing electricity only can claim CHP bonus 2009 if they start CHP after for the first time (if already CHP before , higher bonus applies only for the first 500 kw)

19 The Renewable Energy Source Act (EEG) as market driver The Renewable Energy Source Act (EEG) technology bonus RES-E plants using one of the following technologies and where heat is used according to a positive list or an electrical efficiency of at least 45 % is achieved can claim an additional bonus of 2 ct/kwh: - conversion of the biomass by means of thermo-chemical gasification - fuel cells, gas turbines, steam engines, Stirling engines - Organic Rankine Cycles ORC and Kalina cycles - thermo-chemical conversion exclusively of straw and other stalk biomass

20 The Renewable Energy Source Act (EEG) as market driver The Renewable Energy Source Act (EEG) energy crop bonus I Energy crops shall mean plants or parts of plants which originate from agricultural, silvicultural or horticultural operations or during landscape management and which have not been treated or modified in any way other than for harvesting, conservation or use in the biomass installation RES-E generation with energy crops will be compensated with 6 ct/kwh for solid and 7 ct/kwh for gaseous biomass for the first 500 kw of output, and subsequently 4 ct/kwh for the following kilowatts up to 5 MW. Liquid biofuels can only claim energy crop bonus for the first 150 kw output Guarantee of Origin for resource necessary (type, quantity and unit, origin) No other RES-E plant using other resources than energy crops on site

21 The Renewable Energy Source Act (EEG) as market driver The Renewable Energy Source Act (EEG) energy crop bonus II In the case of biogas the fermentation of the energy crops or manure can be combined with purely plant-based by-products within the meaning of a positive list, but bonus applies only to imputed RES-E generation from e.c. RES-E from biogas can be raised by 4 ct/kwh for the first 150 kw and by 1 ct/kwh for the following 350 kw if at least 30% manure is used RES-E from biogas can be raised by 2 ct/kwh for the first 500 kw when mainly plants or parts of plants from landscape management are used

22 The Renewable Energy Source Act (EEG) as market driver The Renewable Energy Source Act (EEG) biogas feeding Biogas withdrawn from a gas network which was injected within the territorial application of EEG in the same quantity before, can be compensated by EEG, if used in CHP Upgrading of biogas to natural gas standards can be compensated by technology bonus with 2 ct/kwh for processing units with a max. capacity of 350 m³/h crude gas and with 1 ct/kwh for a max. capacity of 700 m³/h For the technology bonus a maximum methane emissions into the atmosphere of 0,5 % and a maximum electricity consumption of 0,5 kwh per cubic metre of crude gas during processing mustn t be exceeded Process energy has to come from RES or waste heat

23 The Renewable Energy Source Act (EEG) as market driver The Renewable Energy Source Act (EEG) Overview Basic compensation Clean air bonus - new Energy crop bonus <=150 kw <=500 kw <= 5 MW Cent (+ 1 Cent) 9.18 Cent (unchanged) Old plants 1.0 Cent 1.0 Cent New plants 1.0 Cent 1.0 Cent 7 Cent (+ 1 Cent) 7 Cent (+ 1 Cent) Rural conservation bonus - new 2 Cent 2 Cent Manure-bonus -new 4 Cent 1 Cent 8.25 Cent (unchanged) 4 (unchanged) Technology bonus (without Gasinjection) 2 Cent 2 Cent 2 Cent Bonus for Gasinjection New plants Depending on the size of the gas treatment 1/2 Cent Old plants 2 Cent CHP-bonus 3 Cent 3 Cent 3 Cent

24 The Renewable Energy Source Act (EEG) as market driver Advantages of EEG to investors and RES market development Mid and long term planning and investment security (20 years) No volatile prices / calculable cost for consumers public acceptance of RES Low costs for consumers due to allocation to all users (~3 EUR/month) polluter pays principle Technology differentiated support for all RES early development of future RES technologies (learning curves, economies of scale etc.) Incentives for technology development and efficiency enhancement by degression for new plants each year

39 Bio-electicity market development - Biogas Biogas trends in Germany I Smaller biogas to local sites using liquid manure as feedstock, heat use plants adapted (due to manure bonus) Much wider use of heat through various concepts: - direct local heat use (buildings, green houses, cattle sheds etc.) - feed-in into public district heating system - micro gas distribution system to satellite CHP (less expensive, lower loss of energy, 30% funding of investment costs) - heat storage - Organic-Rankine-Cycle (ORC)

40 Bio-electicity market development - Biogas Biogas trends in Germany II Feed-in into the natural gas distribution system - electricity and heat production in modern CHP units with high efficiency - use as natural gas equivalent Storage of biogas (e.g. combined power plant, balancing energy for wind & solar) Biogas as fuel (2 biogas filling stations in Germany) Upgrading biogas for CHP (due to clean air bonus) Gas engines instead of pilot injection engines (more efficient and less methane release)
