Development of Green DH supply in Lithuania The first biomass boiler of 6 MW heat capacity was build in 1988 in Birzai City. In 1994 there was constructed boiler of 4 MW heat capacity in Molėtai City. In 2006 Vilniaus energija invested into building a new 60 MW biofuel boiler at Vilnius CHP Plant No. 2, which at present remains the largest in Lithuania. The introduction of such largescale bio CHP Plant led to substantial improvement of biomass production, logistics and quality assurance infrastructure. This was an impulse to create a new industry branch biofuel production and supply.
Financial support funds (2007-2013) for DH sector projects implementation in Lithuania Total allocated support was 141 mio. Eur incl. 127 mio Eur from EU Structural Funds 2007-2013 EU SF: 67 mio. Eur for DH networks modernization 60 mio. Eur for biofuel based CHP and HOB 1 mio Eur for energy efficiency in DH generation sources 2 mio. Eur 11 mio. Eur 128 mio.

The main advantages of biofuel vs natural gas use in DH Energy security contribution to the EU and the Lithuanian energy's strategic objectives to reduce the dependence on imported fossil fuels by ensuring the security of supply. Economic benefit Use of Lithuanian local resources saving financial resources of the country, as the price of biofuel is about 3 times smaller than natural gas (money paid for fuel remains within the country); taxes (especially for profit) will remain in municipal and state budgets. 70-80 % of the total forecasted biofuel price consists of funds that remain in Lithuania: Estimation of the part of biofuel price remaining in Lithuanian economy (assumption): Forecasted price of wood chips, depending on demand (based on 2025 costs level) 208 (EUR/t.o.e) Macroeconomical price (excluding the funds which are left in Lithuania): 38 (EUR/t.o.e) 14
