2 CONTENT The biogas business ecosystem SWOT profile of the biogas business Readiness of the players in the Malaysian ecosystem SIRIM s developmental activities to support the biogas business ecosystem

3 BIOGAS RESOURCE in MALAYSIA Sources: POME, food waste, IWK sludge, industrial wastewater from rubber, food processing, textile etc. Volume of biogas: POME: ~1.2 billion Nm 3 /year Food waste: ~0.55 billion Nm 3 /year (Peninsular Malaysia) Volume of methane (biong): ~2 billion Nm 3 /year methane Equi. to 2 million m 3 diesel Equi. to 20 thousand GWh (~15% of the gross electricity generation, NEB 2012) * POME : million m 3 (2012),15Nm 3 -CH 4 /m 3 -POME or 0.225Nm 3 -CH 4 /kgcod input ** Foodwaste : 15,000 MT/day, 100Nm 3 -CH 4 /MT-Foodwaste

4 The Business Ecosystem An economic community supported by a foundation of interacting organizations and individuals the organisms of the business world. The economic community produces goods and services of value to customers, who are themselves members of the ecosystem. The member organisms also include suppliers, lead producers, competitors, and other stakeholders. Over time, they coecolve their capabilities and roles, and tend to align themselves with the directions set by one or more central companies. Those companies holding leadership roles may change over time, but the function of ecosystem leader is valued by the community because it enables members to move toward shared visions to align their investments, and to find mutually supportive roles. (James F. Moore (1996). The Death of Competition: Leadership & Strategy in the Age of Business Ecosystems. New York: HarperBusiness. ISBN )

6 The Biogas Business Ecosystem Actors -Core Business- Core Business Biogas distributor Biogas supplier Business that produce biogas substrate Various combination of actors according to the application: On-site power generation for in-situ use On-site power generation for off-site use (grid connection) Off-site power generation On-site use as transport fuel Off-site use as transport fuel On-site use as feedstock for biochemicals Off-site use as feedstock for biochemicals

7 The Biogas Business Ecosystem - Extended Enterprise - Biogas industry standards Suppliers of suppliers Equipment & system suppliers Extended Enterprise Core Business Biogas distributor Biogas generation Business that produce biogas substrate Power plants Electricity user (industry/ commercial) Fuel user Fuel supplier/ (industry/ dispenser transportation)

8 Industry associations Biogas industry standards Suppliers of suppliers Equipment & system suppliers Public entities Business Ecosystem Extended Enterprise Core Business Biogas distributor Biogas generation Business that produce biogas substrate Workers unions Power plants Electricity user (industry/ commercial) Fuel user (industry/ Fuel supplier/ dispenser transportation) Competitors Other stakeholders

9 Strengthening the Biogas Business Ecosystem The actors in the biogas business ecosystem are dependent on the end-use of the biogas: power, transport or feedstock for chemical. Major factors affect the biogas business sustainability: Stability of supply (consistent quantity and quality) Attractive business model (benefitting all in the value chain) Pricing structure comparable to similar feedstock e.g. natural gas when comparable properties attained

10 The SWOT Profile of the Biogas Industry Strength Feedstock abundance Renewable & green Innovation, not rocket science needed Contributes to improved environmental quality Opportunities Untapped market for reduced energy cost Internal abatement: CSR green image Credits for potential offsets/ FiT scheme Expanding dimension of exiting market x Weakness Inconsistent availability Limited infrastructure to tap on resource e.g. storage & distribution Threats Cleaner production that reduce waste generation: reduced biogas substrate

11 Moving up the Value Chain - From Biogas to Bio-Natural Gas (BioNG)- Readiness of local players to move up value chain Biogas generation Biogas capture Biogas purification Biogas distribution Biogas utilisation Almost 100% local technology Membrane for digesters are 100% imported A number of options, some almost 100% imported technology Imported high pressure compressors Local fabrication of tanks and transporters Imported equipment for power generation Local NGV conversion kits MRO Services, Testing and Consulting Services 05 May 2015 SIRIM Berhad Slide 11

12 Drivers: SIRIM s BioNG Developmental Activities BioNG will be a sustainable energy source for power, transport, industrial and community applications through development of appropriate technological solutions that contribute towards: Enhancing energy security Reducing GHG emission Creating wealth from waste BioNG has the potential to become an industry sub-sector with its own network of supply, distribution and application. BioNG has the capacity to create new business or expand scope of existing business

13 Packaging Appropriate Technological Solutions for the BioNG Value Chain Treatability studies : Substrate characterisation and Biomethane Potential Conceptual to plant design of anaerobic digestion systems; gas capture, cleaning and purification Project management at construction, installation and commissioning phase Storage, transportation and dispensing Collaborative implementation with end-users in power, transport and industrial / commercial applications Skill development to produce appropriate competencies that will support the growth of the BioNG industry Standards development, certified reference materials (CRMs), calibration & measurement to facilitate domestic and oversea trade

22 Utilisation of BioNG in a Diesel Power Plant Project site To strengthen the commercialisation of BioNG as an alternative fuel for diesel fired power plants via application 5000 Litre diesel equivalent per day will be transported over 60 km of light weight modular storage tanks. Four engines: 2 units x 484 kw and 2 units X 240 kw 22
