  4. The RESCO Programme Overall aim… • provide businesses in the West Midlands with the support they need to enter or expand into the supply chain markets of low carbon and renewable energy technologies. BfGworkshop Sept 2011

  5. The RESCO Programme Background and rationale • Build on the existing manufacturing and engineering skills in the Region. • UK renewable energy market - £31.1 billion (2007/8). Projected growth: 7.61% in 2011/2 (Innovas, 2009) • UK national target for renewable energy - 15% by 2020 • Funded by Advantage West Midlands • Duration: October 2009 – March 2012 • Managed by the Institute for Environment, Sustainability and Regeneration (IESR), Staffordshire University BfGworkshop Sept 2011

  6. The RESCO Programme Technology areas • Wind and Marine Power • Round 3 offshore wind development + STW, 1&2 extensions  47GW by 2020 (The Crown Estate, 2010) (~9400 offshore wind turbines) • Components, logistics, O&M and professional services • Bioenergy • Biofuels: Bio-crops, waste wood, biowaste • Anaerobic Digestion, pyrolysis • Waste separation and transport, plant operation, component manufacture, planning, legal service, training etc. BfGworkshop Sept 2011

  7. The RESCO Programme Technology areas • Small Scale Renewables • Solar thermal, PV, GSHP and ASHP, small scale wind and hydro, micro CHP. • Manufacture, installation, planning, consultancy, modelling • Power Generation and Transmission • Grid Connection – Large and Small Scale • Efficient Energy Transmission Technology • Energy Conversion and Storage • Key Markets  Component Supply, Technical Innovation BfGworkshop Sept 2011

  8. The RESCO Programme Client Engagement Structure One to one support BfGworkshop Sept 2011

  9. The RESCO Programme Client Engagement Process Website Registration Wind and Marine Bioenergy SCOPING VISIT Small scale renewables Approval Power Generation and Transmission Diagnostic Request Capability assessment On-care support/ graduate placement Special Interest groups BfGworkshop Sept 2011

  10. The RESCO Programme Ongoing and upcoming activities… SIGs: Other: • Birmingham Energy Savers (Phase 2) involvement • ERDF application to prolong and expand project • Regional mapping of renewable energy supply chain capabilities • New events programme starting in September, 2011 BfGworkshop Sept 2011

  16. Biogas produced from AD comprises several gases, predominantly CH4, CO2, H2S and NH4. • Before the biogas is suitable to be exported to the pipeline, it must undergo processing and clean-up to reach an adequate standard. • The clean-up and upgrading process involves three main steps: - removal of CO2 and trace contaminants - removal of H2S - drying BfGworkshop Sept 2011

  17. Bio-gas Upgrading Technologies • Water-Wash (Water Scrubber) (remove CO2 and H2S) • Chemical-Wash (Adsorption/amine/selexol scrubber) • Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA/vPSA) • Cryogenic / CO2 liquefaction • Membrane Separation BfGworkshop Sept 2011

  26. 2. Services • AD requires a range of support services as in the general bio-energy supply chain AD Plant in Germany Source: Wardell Armstrong BfGworkshop Sept 2011

  29. The plant requires a range of specialist equipment and services BfG workshop Sept 2011

  30. Services • There are still many services where producers still face challenges: • Oxygen content • CV setting and monitoring • Propane enrichment BfGworkshop Sept 2011

  31. Services • Gas clean-up plant • Propane enrichment • Metering and monitoring • Transport fuel • Odourisation • Gas grid injection BfGworkshop Sept 2011

  32. Services • Plant fabrication, installation, commissioning • Pipework, valves and fittings • Compressors, blowers and vacuum pumps • Pumps and process equipment (coolers, heat exchangers etc) • Instrumentation • Service and support Source: Xebec BfGworkshop Sept 2011

  33. 3. Feedstock • Sewage sludge • Agricultural waste (animal manure and slurries) • Food waste and biodegradable waste (garden) • Energy crops Source: AD Strategy and Action Plan, 2011 BfGworkshop Sept 2011

  34. Farm Energy Crops Animal Slurry Kitchen Waste Home Abattoir AD PLANT Sewage Slurry Abattoir Waste Retail Waste Process Waste Catering Waste Retail Factory BfGworkshop Sept 2011

  35. Feedstock Implications • Avoided waste to landfill • Avoided emissions from excessive food waste – but need to collect it efficiently • Energy crops are less desirable vs waste (secure food supply, environmental impact) • Bio-gas can be exported to the grid, but use of digestate is dependent on feedstock, e.g. Environmental permitting regulations, PAS 110. BfGworkshop Sept 2011

  36. 4. Future of biogas to grid in the UK and EU • Urban Energy Centres – combining waste to energy technologies to maximise efficiency. • Compressed Bio-methane (CBM) and vehicles • CBM/CNG vehicles • Already operating in Germany and are emerging in the UK, e.g. Veolia Econic refuse trucks in Sheffield • First CBM refuelling station in Europe at transport depot in Kings Cross – Camden council and Gasrec. • Coca-Cola HGVs • Leeds Council Biomethane fuel station • Mercedes Benz, Iveco, Volkswagen, BMC/Foten, Optare BfGworkshop Sept 2011

  37. Future of biogas to grid in the UK and EU • Already 60 plants connected to the grid in Germany (and constantly increasing in Switzerland, Holland and Sweden). • RHI is leading to increased uptake in the UK at all scales BfGworkshop Sept 2011
