Key drivers for the development of bioenergy in Austria Bioheat: Investment subsidies for small scale heating systems (logwood, woodchips, pellets) and biomass district heating plants 700-1,100 MW installed per year Bioelectricity: Green electricity law with guaranteed feed-in tariffs Boom between 2003 and 2007; since 2007 collapse of the market Between 2003 and 2010 the following CHP plants capacity were installed: Solid biomass: 320 MW el Biogas: 78 MW el Biofuels for transportation: Obliged minimum share of biofuels (7% in 2009 reached) Fossil diesel and petrol has a higher mineral oil tax than blended fuels
Challenges for the future development of bioenergy in Austria Bioheat Increase efficiency of biomass district heating networks Replacement of fossil heating systems and old-fashioned small scale biomass heating systems by modern biomass heating systems Bioelectricity To push the development of small scale CHP systems based on solid biomass and biogas Mobilisation of biomass resources Forestry biomass especially from small private forest owners Energy plants (short rotation forestry, miscanthus) and agricultural residues (straw, corn cobs, hay, )
