BiogasHeat Development of sustainable heat markets for biogas plants in Europe

Transcription

1 BiogasHeat Development of sustainable heat markets for biogas plants in Europe European Workshop, Vienna, Austria, 12 June, 2013 Ilze Dzene, Claudio Rochas, Ekodoma Ltd.

2 Background Biogas is recognised as suitable and sustainable energy option Mostly biogas is used to produce electricity in combined heat and power (CHP) plants In many cases the heat from the electricity generation plant is not used, but wasted leading to: macroeconomic and microeconomic losses challenges in an increasing land use competition New plants, existing plants and plants undergoing renovation or extension need concrete solutions to efficiently use the heat BiogasHeat project address the problem of how to efficiently use the heat from biogas plants 2

3 Objectives Objectives of BiogasHeat project are: To enable economic and sustainable utilisation of heat from existing and future biogas plants, which is currently wasted To increase capability and capacity in biogas heat utilisation in project target countries and abroad 3

4 Main steps Good practice biogas heat use examples and development of Handbook on sustainable heat use from biogas plants Promising business models and entrepreneurial strategies for biogas heat use (feasibility studies and analysis of technical options)in cooperation with biogas and heat market actors Field testing of models and strategies in real projects Round table discussions and workshops for policy makers, authorities and biogas plant operators Coaching events and European conference to transfer experience of developing sustainable heat markets for biogas plants to other European countries 4

5 Results achieved so far: 20 good practice biogas heat use examples Handbook on Sustainable Heat use from Biogas Plants National and European policy enforcement regarding the heat utilisation in biogas plants Expert interviews in several European countries Implementation of the first feasibility checks for real biogas plant projects 5

6 Results to come: Around 90 feasibility checks on strategies and business models for the utilization of heat from biogas plants Ten business cases on heat use from biogas plants developed and field tested Direct technical assistance to biogas heat market players through Helpdesk and FAQ list Regional/national roundtable discussions International workshop and 10 coaching events to other European regions European conference and 18 national workshops disseminating the main project results and lessons learnt 6
