Bio - energy project proposal
Brussels, 26 May 2009
Bio-energy project proposal
Focus:
The aim of the Bio-energy project is multi-pronged:
(a) To analyse the development of biomass-based systems in the EU27 using a country-by-country approach and contrasting the current development with biomass potential studies in order to develop scenarios for different biomass-based technology.
(b) These scenarios will assess the impacts of different trajectories and use of different technologies by quantifying reductions in fossil energy use, avoided CO2 emissions and projected employment and economic benefits to local economies by looking at the local bio-energy supply chain.
(c) Describing the barriers to new biomass-fired projects across the EU27, in particular:
- Grid connection barriers
- Authorisations and certification
(d) Working together with national authorities (ministry, regulator(s)) and local administrations to streamline and ease application procedures.
Work on these aspects of the project will build on work carried out in 2005-2007 in the framework of the ELEP project, but will update and extend the assessment to the EU27, while focusing on the national contacts already gathered in order to impulse the changes required at the earliest stage possible.
(e) Promote best practice for biomass combustion installations
The promotion of best practice will revolve around the preparation of material on a limited number of successful projects which have attained the following objectives:
- Meet high energy conversion efficiencies.
- Consume locally-sourced renewable bio-energy.
- Provide heat to local businesses or households, with a particular focus on small-scale applications.
- Showcase streamlined procedures.
Activities:
The project will deliver a number of deliverables that fit within the stated objectives of the 2009 IEE Call but also within the stated European energy policy objective (with regards to the new renewables Directive, the 2004/8/EC Directive and recent Commission Communications on renewable energy sources and energy efficiency).
In particular:
- Overview of the development of renewable-based CHP in the different Member States, by type of fuel and type of application.
- Report on biomass and biogas use, contrasting the shares of CHP and non-CHP applications. This report will also highlight any explanatory factors which might explain a higher or lower share of renewable-based CHP in a given country compared to the EU average.
- Scenarios assessing the impacts of different trajectories and shares of different technologies by quantifying reductions in fossil energy use, avoided CO2 emissions and projected employment and economic benefits to local economies by looking at the local bio-energy supply chain.
- Best and worst practice report concerning authorizations, certification procedures and grid connection requirements and procedures.
- Compilation of a comprehensive, holistic best practice-based set of recommendations on:
- Authorizations and certifications, including cost aspects
- Support schemes for renewable-based CHP
- A series of meetings in each European Member State, bringing together one or two project Partners and local stakeholders, including national regulators, TSO-DSO representatives and/or ministry officials.
- Up-to-date best practice case studies for stand-alone dissemination purposes
- Dissemination activities at targeted industry sector events (e.g. hotels or swimming pool trade fairs), as well as local authority events (Cities or Regions’ conventions…)
Project role out:
- WP2: Overview of the development of renewable-based CHP
Overview: To analyse the development of biomass-based systems in the EU27 using a country-by-country approach and contrasting the current development with biomass potential studies in order to develop scenarios for different biomass-based technology.
Duration: 7 months
Outcome: Overview of the development of renewable-based CHP in the different Member States, by type of fuel and type of application.
Deliverable: Report with overview of EU27
Possible WP leader: AEBIOM or EUBIA
- WP3: Scenarios for different biomass-based technologies
Overview: To develop scenarios for different biomass-based technologies. These scenarios will assess the impacts of different trajectories and use of different technologies by quantifying reductions in fossil energy use, avoided CO2 emissions and projected employment and economic benefits to local economies by looking at the local bio-energy supply chain.
Duration: 8 months
Outcome: Overview of the possibilities and impacts of different technologies
Deliverable: Report with different scenarios
Possible WP leader: VTT or CESI or CRES
- WP4: Barriers to new biomass installations
Overview: Describing the barriersto new biomass-fired projects across the EU27 (authorisation, certification procedures, grid connection)
Duration: 12 months
Outcome: Overview of the situation in EU27 regarding authorisation, certification procedures and grid connection requirements and procedures
Deliverable: Best and worst practice report + recommendations
WP leader: COGEN Europe
- WP5: Improvement of national application procedures
Overview: Streamline and ease application procedures in cooperation with responsible national stakeholders
Duration: 12 months
Outcome: Improvement of national application procedures in EU27
Deliverable: Report with national approach: overview and recommendations
Possible WP leader: BEA, RAEE (Rhônealpénergie Environnement)
- WP6: Promote best practice
Overview: The promotion of best practice for biomass combustion installations focusing on
- High energy conversion efficiencies
- Consuming locally-sourced renewable bio-energy
- Providing heat to local businesses or households, with a particular focus on small-scale applications
- Showcasing streamlined procedures.
Duration: 12 months
Outcome: Selection of best practice examples covering a wide range
Deliverable: Database with best practice examples (ought to be replicable)
Possible WP leader: BTG Biomass Technology Group
Overview: Promotion of the project and its objectives among target audience (biomass organisations, project developers, national administrations, etc)
Duration: 24 months
Outcome: Dissemination of project outcomes and awareness raising among target audience
Deliverables:
1. Project website
2. Brochure on biomass CHP and one on biogas CHP
3. Intermediate European Workshop
4. Two series of workshops in EU27 (organised in cooperation with National COGEN Members): end of first year and end of second year [at least one workshop per country over entire project]
5. Final European Workshop
6. Brochure with project results
WP leader: COGEN Europe
Type of Partners sought:
Biomass sector representatives: EUBIA, AEBIOM, European Biogas Association
Research organisation: VTT (Finland), CESI (Italy, Partner in ELEP), CRES
Consultancy: BTG Biomass Technology Group, FORCE Tecknik
Biogas sector: Manufacturer of biogas-fired equipment
Local authority: Berlin Energie Agentur, RAEE (Rhônealpénergie Environnement)
Project developer: Dalkia, Elyo
DH sector representative: EHP
New Member State organisation: Poland/Romania/Bulgaria
Budget:
The total budget for such a project will be in the area of 1.3 million EUR.
Each partner responsible for:
- meeting local stakeholders (WP5)
- organising and hosting events (WP7)
There will be a need to allocate sufficient resources towards the national meeting (travel costs, but also OSC for renting rooms and catering) and case study dissemination material (lay-out and printing of brochures)
The number of partners should range between 8 and 11.
Duration:
The duration of the project would be 2 years
