9 RES potentials: Biomass Total annual potential ~ 1 TWh The share of biomass is nearly two thirds of the total energy based on renewables Mainly - for heat production and local cogeneration Forests - about 5% of territory (2,27 Mha) Heat production in TWh (~ 27%) Firewood - ca 75% of total energy need in households Total possible annual primary energy resource is about 5,72 TWh Main unused resources - grey alder, logging waste, garbage In t pellets and wood briquette was produced. 23 t was exported (mainly to Scandinavian countries) 17 RES potentials: Biomass A quarter of Estonian territory - agricultural land Cultivation of energy crops is restricted due to undeveloped markets and lack of experience Prospective resource - cultivation of energy crops on fallow arable lands (4 ha) Extended cultivation of oleaginous plants (rape, etc.) for bio fuels production Probative cultivation of reed canary grass on depleted milled peat fields Peat fuels 8,3 TWh/a 18

10 RES potentials: Biomass Under development a number of CHP plants on wood fuel with total capacity ca 12 MW (Väo, Lohkva, Kuressaare) Addition a new 1 MW unit on garbage in Iru CHP plant Renovation Ahtme CHP into biomass unit (6 MW) Under development a CHP plant at Kehra Horizon Pulp and Paper Ltd 12 MW In feasibility study stage 1-12 small CHP plants on farm s biogas, two plants on landfill gas (Jõelähtme and Uikala) and a plant on biogas from a sewage plant Tartu There are three biodiesel production plants (ATKO Õlitööstus, A&O BioD, Bio Oil) with total annual production of 2 t. Under construction is a plant in Paldiski (1 t/a); in planning phase are Narva, Sillamäe and Kunda plants A bioethanol plant with annual production of 1 t is under construction A biogas production plant AS Saare Economics 19 RES potentials: Small hydro Technical potential is moderate ~ 4 MW, ~,3 TWh/a At present: 41 SHP plants (1 11 kw), a number of micro plants (<1 kw) Total capacity 5.8 MW (13,5 GWh) 5 plants (~ 62 kw; ~ 3,6 GWh/a) under development; 4 plants (~ 2 kw; ~ 1 GWh/a) under planning Forecast: about ~7 MW (35 GWh) by 21; ~9 MW (45 GWh) by 215 Main restrictions environmental aspects (fish protection, waterfalls) 2

12 Fuel prices In 26 the average prices of almost all fuels have grown for the end-users From the domestic fuels the prices of oil shale and woodfuel grew most From the imported fuels the price of natural gas grew most ( kroons/thousand m 3 ) Average prices of liquid fuels, 23 26: Shale oil Heavy fuel oil Light fuel oil Diesel Motor gasoline kroons/t Source: Energy Balance 26. Statistics Estonia Yearbook 23 National strategic targets Increase the use of renewables by 21: 12 % of gross national energy consumption 5,1% of gross national electricity consumption (8 % by 215) share of biofuels in transport 5.75 % Reduce the emission of greenhouse gases by 8 % from the 199 level Keep the primary energy consumption on the level of 23 Keep the growth rate of electricity consumption on a half of the GDP growth rate level Reduce the end use energy consumption by 1%/a during 9 years By the 22 the share of electricity production in CHP plants 2 % of total consumption 24

13 Promotion of use of RES Purchasing obligation - feed-in tariff cents/kwh Promotion of wider application of CHP technologies Supports on cultivation of energy crops Excise tax exemption for biofuels CO 2 taxation Supports to energy projects linked with the use of RES Participation in EU energy-related programmes and projects A number of non-profit organizations for RES promotion 25
