Open Days 2015 - The Innovative Partnership for Sustainable Energy 2020, (IPSE 2020) Involved countries in this EU project Sweden Finland Latvia Ireland Hungary Workshop in Brussels, (Wednesday) 14.10.2015 Time: 09.00 13.00 Venue: Stockholm Region EU Office Street: Avenue Marnix 28, Brussels Host: The Innovative Partnership for Sustainable Energy 2020, (IPSE2020) Future Sustainable energy supply through innovative partnerships biomethane and CNG as an example http://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/opendays/od2015/register.cfm http://biofuelregion.se/ipse2020/
CNG filling stations in Europe in 2014 Europe had in 2014 2843 CNG/CBG filling stations in service! 1 125 768 CNG light duty vehicles on the road 12 745 CNG buses on the road (Source: http://www.ngvaeurope.eu/get-directions, Feb. 2015) 9 349 CNG trucks on the road

Biogas filling station/ biogas plants in Ireland Option A Mobile biogas upgrading plant Centralized biogas upgrading plant Option B
A small city in Sweden powered with 950 environmentally friendly biogas busses as a leading example Malmö is a small city in the south-westerly part of Sweden with a population of close to 300 000 950 biogas busses on the road, 20 Diesel and 5 electric buses -> 10 contractors, fixed contract for 10 years Skånetrafiken manages but not operates those buses (Stockholm example) Biogas buses powered solely with biogas from AD plants (100% renewable) Electricity price approx. 8-10 ct/kwh therefore biogas is only financially attractive for mobility (CNG/LNG)

Biogas opportunities / challenges for Ireland Opportunities REFIT security, reimbursement Job opportunities in the green energy sector Own indigenous energy and fuel supply Contributes to the 2020 renewable energy targets Problem solver on waste reduction and disposal Extended business model for farmers, 2 nd enterprise beside traditional farming Challenges Lack of incentive for grid injection/transport Focus mainly on wind energy and less on biogas Agriculture and Waste policy does not support biogas production Lack of public knowledge on biogas/cng
