1 Güssing An example for a sustainable energy supply BGM Peter Vadasz

2 This is Güssing

3 Geographical location Güssing

4 In 1992 there were lots of problems

5 50 years alongside the iron curtain to Hungary no industry high rate of unemployment 70% commuters high rate of migration small structured agriculture bad traffic infrastructure

6 Situation 1991 compared to 2005 Amount of money for externally produced energy (predominantly fossil energy sources) Regional added value (City of Güssing) Fuels Warmth Electricity EEE 2005

7 Austria s Membership in the EU A 1995

8 Subsidies - Objective 1 - Area EU Federal Government Provincial Government

9 Energy strategies Energy saving measures Energy production from wood, agriculture and the sun Foundation of EEE Foundation of a Center of Technology

10 Energy Savings

11 The network Eco tourism Services Advanced Training R&D Demonstration plants

12 District Heating Güssing District heating grid: 36 km 1996

13 District heating grid

14 District Heating Urbersdorf

15 Prof. DI Dr. Hermann Hofbauer Technical University Vienna

16 Biomass Power Plant Heat Electricity Synthetic natural gas Gasoline, diesel

17 Methanisation Gas filling station

18 Emission various fuels Gasoline Gasoline injection Natural gas methapur ist aufbereitetes Biogas und kann etwa mit BioSNG gleichgesetzt werden.

19 Biogas Plant Heat Electricity Biogas

20 Solar Energy (Photovoltaics) Electricity

21 Solar Energy E-Mobility

22 Energy Storage 500 kwh capacity 100kWh capacity

23 Research Institute Lab for the production of synthetic fuels

24 Fischer Tropsch Synthesis

25 Fischer Tropsch Fuel Fischer-Tropsch Fuel Fossil Fuel

26 Güssing produces from Sun Wood Agriculture Diesel Fuel Heat Electricity Synthetitic Natural Gas Synthetitic Fuels

27 Energy production beginning 2011 Heat: about 50 Mio kwh = 85% (Private homes and industry) Electricity: 32 Mio kwh = 200% (Private homes, public buildings and SMEs) Synth. gas: 50m³ / hour = 400 t/a Synth. fuels: 1 Barrel / day = 58 t/a (Beginning February 2010)

28 Investment District Heating Plant: Subsidies (33%) ,- Connecting fees (33%) ,- Bank loan (Liability of the town) ,- Biomass Powerplant: 13.5 Mio (Financed by EU, Austria, Burgenland) Liability of the town : 0,- Steam turbine: 4.5 Mio Liability of the town : ,- Synthetic natural gas plant: 9.5 Mio (25 % EU, 25% Austria + Burgenland, 50% AXPO)

29 The added value for the town of Güssing More than 50 new companies More than new jobs netting 9 Mio. a year Total sales volume of energy 13 Mio. a year Total wood consumption tons a year

30 Example ökoenergieland Energy concept for 17 communities in the ECO Energy Land Goal: Independence from fossil energy by the year 2020 Regular meetings Creation of an energy platform in the internet Appointment of an energy manager

31 CO ² Emissions in Güssing

32 Prices of raw materials Wood prices in Euros per ton Wood chips Saw dust Waste wood Agricultural raw material in Euros / ton Corn silage 23 Grass, clover 22 Energy prices Consumer price of distr. heating 6 Consumer price electricity Cent / kwh 22 Cent / kwh Consumer price fossil fuel currently ~ 12 Cent / kwh Consumer price natural gas Cent / kwh

33 Home powerstation Photovoltaik Solar energy Cooling Fuel Cell Heat

34 Towards self sufficiency Import OIL / GAS ELECTRICITY Money of FUELS Customer SUN Forestry Agriculture Energy producer Heating Electricity Fuels Customer Money

35 Polygeneration Product gas (gas engine, gas turbine) Biomass Biomass Gasification Synthetic natural gas (BioSNG) FT-fuel BioFIT Hydrogen Methanol others BIOMASS a future sustainable Energy

36 Renewable Energies

37 Awards received so far 2002 Austria s Environment Award 2004 Austrian AND European Solar Award 2004 Most innovative town of Austria 2005 Austrian Energy Globe Award 2005 Global 100 Eco Tech Award (Japan) 2008 Austrian Award for climate protection Watt d'or (Schweiz) 2009 Schwaighofer Prize (Methanisation)
