  1. Nordic Biogas Conference Helsinki 8-10 February 2006 ”Experiences from commercialisation of biogas for vehicles in West Sweden” Project manager Biogas Väst Bernt Svensén Business Region Göteborg

  2. TRUST – Co-operation: Volvo and City of Göteborg • State investigation about biogas • Existing production of biogas • Existing natural gas grid History and background The founding of Biogas Väst

  3. 7 gas filling stations • 3 biogas plants • 790 gas-driven vehicles • A number of interested partners • Political acceptance Basic conditions 2000

  4. Economical commercial policy • Environmental policy • On local level in three cities • On regional level • Low interest on national level Political acceptance 2000

  5. Borås, Göteborg, Trollhättan AB Volvo, FordonsGas väst, Volvo PV The foundingandthe participants The project starts in march 2001 with co-financing from the regional authority Manager: Business Region Göteborg

  6. Head and project manager Business Region Göteborg Represents 13 municipalities in the Göteborg region A regional company for business development A neutral and non-profit company • Strong economical growth • Diversity trade and industry • High level of employment

  7. 150 filling stations 100 000 gas-driven vehicles 1 500 GWh biogas Vision 2020 The region constitutes an important link in the national infrastructure A forefront region in an European co-operation A measurable contribution to the reduction of GHG and unhealthy emissions in an European co-operation A commercial market is developed

  8. Target 2006 35 filling stations 7 000 gas-driven vehicles 120 GWh biogas A forefront region in an Swedish co-operation Contribute to achieve the regions environmental target A commercial market has begun

  9. Companies Municipalities Mariestad Vara Organisations Authorities Support by: EU-project Swedish EPA Participants in Biogas West

  10. BIOGAS WEST Board BiogasMax Biogas Cities Organisation & network ENGVA Swedish Gas Association TRUST SBGF Gas- group Project manager Region Skaraborg Region Sjuhärad BIOGAS WEST Working group Göteborg region Region Trestad

  11. Comprehensivestrategy for the co-operation project inWestsweden • Market development • Production • Distribution • Vehicles Purpose: To develop a new industry

  12. How is the market development? Conditions for biogas business? How is the market? The connection between vehicle market, distribution and production of biogas ?

  13. Filling stations Biogas production Market development – biogas chain Raw material Substrate Increased car sales and biogas sales Vehicle manufacturer and retailers

  14. Market development What comes first – filling stations or vehicles Fill.st/vehicles Vehicles 40/4000 30/3000 20/2000 Filling stations 10/1000

  15. Driving forces market development for vehicles • Reduced tax with 40 % for company cars* • Government organisations- 75 % environ. cars • State subsidies (LIP/KLIMP) for purchasing cars • Free street parking in several cities • Municipalities change policies for fleets* and purchasing *environmental friendly cars

  16. Driving forces market development for biogas sales • No taxes on biogas and lower taxes on CNG • State subsidies (LIP/KLIMP) for investments • in filling stations • Increased prices for petrol and diesel

  17. Conslusions markets development - sales of vehicle and gas • 50 % increased market for gas vehicles in the • second half of 2005 • 25 % increased market for CBG/CNG sales • 2006 • Low priority for information and marketing • High priority for increased biogasproduction

  18. Biogas Westefforts • Co-ordination – partners in the biogas chain • Information and marketing to customers • Feasability studies - biogas production • and potential • Building network on regional, national • and internationallevel

  19. Filling stations next to main roads • E20, E6, R 40, R45 • Co-operation with car-retailers • Green gas concept • Priority of the agriculture sector Strategy – vehicles, distribution, production

  20. Possibility to produce domestic renewable fuel for vehicles - • Biogas can be up graded and mixed with natural gas • Biogas can be distributed in the natural gas grid Biogasplant Up grading Natural gas Synergism biogas – natural gas

  21. Development 2001-2005 4500 46 2001 2005 28 25 11 9 790 7 VEHICLES FILLING- STATIONS BIOGAS GWh PARTICIPANTS

  22. Vehicles 4 500 Filling stations 25 Status today Biogas replace 5.2 m. liter petrol 17.000 ton CO2- reduction with CBG/CNG

  23. Estimated investments Biogas plants and infrastructure ~ m€ 40

  24. The future – decicions and plans • Up-grading plant in Göteborg 2006 • Biogas plant – food industry, Lidköping • Agriculture based biogas production • Gasicfication plant in Göteborg 2010

  25. The future – decicions and plans Biogas up-grading plant in Göteborg • Göteborg Energi AB builds a new up- grading plant for injection into the ng-grid • Put in operation autumn 2006 • Capacity 60 GWh – 1600 m3/h • Chemical absorption – no methane slip

  26. The future – decicions and plans Agriculture based biogas production • Potential in the region: • - Manure: 2 TWh • - Energy crops: 0,5 TWh • Local biogas gas grid • Farm based production

  27. Future – decicions and plans Gasification plant in Göteborg 2010 • Göteborg Energi AB plans to build a gasification plant for methanisation • Commercial scale – 100 MW –based on biomass fuel • Provides Rya CHP and vehicle fleets via ng-grid

  28. BiogasMax – EU-project, 6th framework • Co-operation agreement with Calstart, California • Biogas Cities - Exchange of Best Practice • Create market for biogas concept Visits: California Belgium Greenwich/Oxford Thailand Gaz de France Philippines Canada Austria Club Biogas(F) Paris Coming: RomIstanbul Beijing? International network & Biogas Cities

  29. Exchange of Best Practice • - Study visits – production, up-grading, distribution, filling stations (bus & public), vehicles • - Workshops • Create market for biogas concept • - Production, distribution, vehicles • Sustainable society • - Political management Biogas Cities

  30. Lessonslearnt • Vision, holistic approach • Long term confidence • Incentives are necessary initially • Consider the offer from the end- customer point of view • Cooperation with other cities • Think globally – act locally
