Transcription

1 Bioenergy in Western Macedonia, Greece Dr. Yannis FALLAS, Director Bioenergy and Environment Cluster Western Macedonia, Greece IFIB 2017, Roma,

2 Overall Western Macedonia, Greece inh., 12 Municipalities GDP: 85,6% of EU-27 average Strong energy sector (lignite based): >50% of GR total el Relatively heavy & long winter period

3 Sun Sea Sand #not WESTERN MACEDONIA

4 The Region in two photos Forests Pindos national park Valia Kalda Lakes and rivers Bridge over Aoos river

5 Western Macedonia Increased needs for heating

6 Current situation Existing lignite-based DH Kozani: Ptolemais: Amyndeo: households households households Other towns in the Region 8 towns from to without District Heating

7 Current situation Existing lignite-based DH Kozani and Ptolemais examine biomass boilers to improve the energy mix (from 10 to 30 MW th from biomass) Amyndeo needs to substitute the Power Unit of Amyndeo, due to shut down in 2018 (25 MW th biomass - fired unit to be installed)

8 Current situation assets Power Generation know-how 4 lignite mines 50 Mtns / yr 5 Power stations > MW ~ employees > 200 cooperating SME s District heating

9 Current situation assets Energy sector

10 Current situation assets Wood sector -Forest cooperatives -Manufacturing SME s -Wood exploitation for heating -Potential for pellet production

11 Current situation assets VEVI AMYNDEO PTOLEMAIDA Wood sector KOZANI GREVENA

12 Current situation assets Agricultural sector -Fruit cultivation and manufacturing -Vineyards -Cereal production -Aromatic plants

13 Current situation assets VEVI AMYNDEO PTOLEMAIDA Agri- food sector KOZANI GREVENA

14 Current situation assets Waste -Wood industry residues -Agricultural waste -Cooperatives (fruits, wine, etc) - Urban waste (DIADYMA S.A.) -Other waste

15 Current situation assets Environmental hazard -Forest wild fire risk -Fields on fire

16 Current situation assets Interest for energy plantations -Extensive former mine areas -Huge potential demand (PPC, biomass district heating, etc) -High unemployment -Increasing interest for co-firing -Existing infrastructure & know-how for D.H.

17 CLUBE Bioenergy and Environment Cluster of Western Macedonia Formally established 2014 Triple Helix Bottom-up approach Not-for-profit legal form - NGO

18 CLUBE Objective Development of common business and R&D In Bioenergy and Environment

19 CLUBE Areas of activity Energetic exploitation of biomass for District Heating and industrial, commercial and domestic use Co-firing of biomass with lignite Optimization of heating systems Development of biomass fuels (energy plantations, certification schemes, etc) Energy efficiency in business and commercial use, as well as households Cooperation models (ESCO s, energy cooperatives, )

20 CluBE Development Priority Cluster Development priority Introduce Bioenergy as a key player for Heating, especially District Heating for every city and town in Western Macedonia

21 FOCUS AREA -Western Macedonia -Neighboring regions (Central Macedonia, Thessaly, Epirus) -Cross border (Albania, FYROM) -Greece -Europe (Balcan, Adriatic, )
