1 Biomethane: the Italian way for sustainable mobility Lorenzo Maggioni, R&D CIB Villafranca di Verona, 26 September2017

2 Consorzio Italiano Biogas (Italian Biogas Consortium) The CIB - Italian Biogas Consortium, formed in March 2009, has national coverage and is the reference point in the Italian biogas and biomethane sector. MEMBERS Agricultural biogas plants > companies European projects

3 CONTENTS State of the art Current and coming regulations Potential developments Case studies Conclusions

4 Why using biomethane like a sustainable fuel? flexible input material, flexible sale options, storable, efficient, tailored to demand, climate-friendly Biomethane has very low emissions Car engines are less noisy No new distribution infrastructure needed. Grids are available Biomethane can be blended at any ratio with natural gas Thanks to biogasdoneright model, it does not compete with food and can be produced in your own country LBM has better quality than (most) fossil LNG. LBM is cleaner and cheaper than other biofuels per energy unit

6 Why using biomethane like a sustainable fuel?

7 STATE OF THE ART Biogas and biomethane in Europe The number of biogas plants in Europe increased from 16,834 to 17,376 in 2015 (+3%). The number of biomethane plants in Europe increased significantly from 367 to 459 in 2015 (+25%). Source: EBA Statistical Report 2016

8 Germany has 185 biomethane plants and is therefore market leader for biomethane, as for biogas. The other 14 countries have a total of 274 biomethane plants STATE OF THE ART Biomethane in Europe The total biomethane production in Europe was 1.23 billion Nm 3 in 2015 Source: EBA Statistical Report 2016

9 STATE OF THE ART Biogas in Italy 2 nd European market after Germany > 4 Billion invested in the last 6 years > biogas plants built (agriculture + sewage + waste + industrial). > MW el (for the moment biogas used only for electricity production!) About 3 billion Nm 3 Biomethane equivalent utilized per year qualified green jobs created thanks to biogas

10 STATE OF THE ART Biomethane in Italy 7 existent biomethane plants Size: m 3 biomethane /h Not connected to the natural gas grids. Demonstrative projects 20 new plants already authorized; size: m 3 biomethane /h 1 plant m 3 biomethane /h already built and ready to start 10 projects for LBM Feedstock: actually > Organic Fraction Municipal Solid Waste

11 STATE OF THE ART LNG in Italy 8 L-CNG filling station* (> in the North of Italy) L-CNG 6 LNG filling station* * > LNG from Barcelona terminal 20 new LNG or LCNG station in the process of authorization NG refuelling station LNG filling station Piacenza (70 trucks/d 10 t/d) Industrial uses LNG filling station Gera Lario Villafranca di Verona, 26 September 2017 Fleet of 20 LNG trucks Lorenzo Maggioni LNG for industrial use Sardinia ricerca@consorziobiogas.it

12 CURRENT AND COMING REGULATIONS

13 CURRENT AND COMING REGULATIONS CURRENT Decree 05 December 2013 NEW October 2017? Entry into force (art. 9 of the Decree) : 18 december 2013 Duration: upgrading plants that will be in service by 17 december 2018

14 CURRENT AND COMING REGULATIONS CURRENT Decree 05 December 2013 Agriculture Organic Fraction Municipal Solid Waste DIFFERENT SCENARIOS DEPENDING ON FINAL USE OF BIOMETHANE 1) Biomethane injected into the natural gas grids 2) Biomethane used in high efficiency cogeneration plants 3) Biomethane used in transport sector NEW October 2017? The same + methanation Better chance for LBM than in the old decree NOW WE HAVE ALL THE TECHNICAL RULES NEEDED FOR BIOMETHANE PRODUCTION 1) Biomethane injected into the natural gas grids 2) Biomethane used in high efficiency cogeneration plants 3) Biomethane used in transport sector More interesting subsidies if you produce advanced biomethane

15 CURRENT AND COMING REGULATIONS 15 ADVANCED BIOFUELS MANDATE Decreto 10 ottobre 2014 biofuels Advanced biofuels (actually 92% = biodiesel. Only 5% made in Italy) In 2018 it means ~225 Mm 3 biomethane (compressed or liquified)

16 POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT

17 POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT Biomethane in Italy According to Italian Biogas Consortium a realistic development plan of methane/biomethane within 2020 should include: doubling NG service stations to 2000; Doubling current consumption of CNG methane for transport sector up to about 2 billions Nm 3 by 2020 (using preferably LNG) ; Increasing biomethane consumption up to 25% of the total consumption, about Nm 3 /year (bio-cng or bio-lng) HEAVY TRANSPORT: POSSIBLE SCENARIO IN 2030 Potential replacement of traditional fuels with 10% of LNG (up to 20% in an optimistic scenario) or LBM. In Italy LNG and LBM will cover a market volume of 3.2 Mton.

18 POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT Biomethane in Italy Maximum technical potential m 3 /y

19 Biomethane in Italy 1 biomethane tractor (bio-cng) Dual Fuel: Biomethane + diesel Italian Gas Grid infrastructure data: Primary transport network: 34,000 km; Distribution: km networks. Biomethane Dies el engi ne > NGV High interest from industrial groups Villafranca di Verona, 26 September 2017 Lorenzo Maggioni ricerca@consorziobiogas.it

20 POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT Biogasdoneright

21 POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT Biogasdoneright BIOGASDONERIGHT is a technological platform that combines Anaerobic Digestion (AD) technologies and other Industrial and Agricultural practices, that when applied synergistically are able to: produce additional carbon both in already farmed land and in land that suffer desertification or lowered productivity, especially in dry lands simultaneously increase the World Net Primary Production (NPP) of farmland and lower the negative externalities associated with modern conventional agricultural practices; continuous increase (until an equilibrium is reached) of the organic content of soils sequestering carbon at the required scale (> 1 Gton C per year) realize this at very low cost contribute at the same time to an ecological agricultural intensification Villafranca di Verona, 26 September 2017 Lorenzo Maggioni ricerca@consorziobiogas.it

23 CASE STUDY 1 Cooperative, founded in 1956, with 248 shareholders owning farms with milk production. 50,000 head of Friesian and Brown Swiss cows, with an average milk production of liters/day hectares of forage farm land turnover (2014) and 330 employees. 2 cheese factories with a totale covered surface of m 2.

24 CASE STUDY 1 The project In Sardinia there are not natural gas grids and not NGV The Cooperative Assegnatari Associati Arborea - 3A is already using LNG (100 m 3 storage at the milk factory in Arborea) with a 1 MW el and 1,2 MW th CHP For the above reasons, they decided to produce LBM (and not bio-cng) The project includes, also, the construction of bio-lcng filing stations The LBM and the bio-cng will be used to refuel company trucks and vehicles of other companies If there were problems with the use of LBM in the transport sector, it can replace LNG

25 CASE STUDY 1 numbers Average amount of manure to be treated: 335 m 3 / day 3 anaerobic digesters with a total volume ~ m 3 Raw biogas production: 500 m 3 /h di biogas. Expected CH 4 average content: 55% Expected LBM production ~4,5 t/d Average amount of Nitrogen to be removed: ~ 580 Kg / d. Total investment for the construction of the plant (anaerobic digestion, LBM production, distribution and LBM digestate treatment): ~ 12 million Euro.

26 CASE STUDY 2

27 CASE STUDY 2 Numbers and project Total area: m 2 ( m 2 covered) Total flows in / out: t / y ( trucks/y) Electric Consumption : MWh el 30,000 / year Steam Consumption: 150,000 t / year Caviro uses a thermo-electric power plant that uses solid fuels (food waste and lignocelluloses biomass), as well as biogas (produced from waste and water treatment) and methane, to produce steam at high pressure and temperature, equipped with two turbo alternators for the production of electricity. The electricity generated allows Caviro almost total independence from reliance on the national grid, while in terms of heat production the company is already completely self-sufficient. The project: 8 million m 3 /y biomethane (gaseus) 8 million m 3 /y LBM

28 CASE STUDY 3 Based in Veneto region, S.E.S.A. is one of the most important Italian companies involved in the activities of recycling, recovery, disposal and transportation of waste. In Este (PD) they own a treatment plant with a capacity < t/y of Organic Fraction Municipal Solid Waste

29 CASE STUDY 3 Numbers and project An investment in the biomethane sector of 42 million euro, spread over 5 years m 3 biomethane / h (LBM + biocng) already authorized > 150 natural CNG and LNG trucks for the collection and transport of waste

31 CONCLUSIONS In Italy biomethane could be a very important advanced biofuel. It could contribute to achieve the climate targets thanks to the reduction of CO 2 eq emissions, it increases security of supply and Italian energy independence from other countries In Italy biomethane has an enormous potential (maximum technical potential of 8 billion m 3 bioch 4 / y) THE ITALIAN MARKET IS READY TO START! But it is important to remove, as soon as possible, some of the major barriers for his development We are looking for NANO-LNG technologies and we are very interested to participate in EU projects (H2020, etc)
