  1. Best practice tools to promote sustainable energy technologies on regional levelExample of a region: BavariaAER Seminar ‘Sustainable Energy Policy: Promoting Renewable Energy and Rational Energy Management in European Regions’, Porjus, Norrbotten (SWE), 1-2 July 2005 Klaus GrepmeierZREU GmbH - Member of the OPET Network

  2. Bavaria - a region in the heart of Europe • Largest of the Federal Länder in Germany • 12 Mio. inhabitats • Area: 70,000 km2 • Gross domestic product: 357,000 MEuro

  3. The Organisations for the Promotion of Energy Technologies - OPET Network • an initiative of the European Commission, Directorate-General Energy and Transport, that • aims to promote public awareness of current energy research through a new and challenging series of activities

  4. The OPET network – consortia and activitiesThe Directorate-General Energy and Transport of the European Commission restructured the OPET Network around a series of thematic consortia in order to provide an integrated and comprehensive view of on-going research and to promote the deployment of innovative technologies esp. on local and regional level in each of the following areas: • Buildings • Renewable energy sources • Combined heat and power • Clean fossil fuels • Energy issues in transport • New energy technologies in the Mediterranean region (MEDNET) • Modern and clean energy and transport technologies in Latin America and the Caribbean (OLA) • Early market introduction of new energy technologies (EMINENT)

  5. Promotion of modern biomass technologies for heat supply of buildings -Best practice tools • Political and legislative • Financial • Technological development • Networking, exchange of experiences • Information dissemination, education, training

  6. Bavaria - a biomass region • Wooded areas: 2.5 Mio. hectares (36% of total area) • Use of wood for heating purposes is common in the region (almost 1/3 of Bavarian homesuse wood as an energy source) • 2.3 Mio. tons/a of wood used for energetic purposes • 265 biomass heating and combined heat and power plants in operation • 1.8 Mio. small combustion plants using wood fuel and other types of biomass

  7. Waste (without biomass) 9% Others (wind, solar,...) Nuclear energy 2% Renewable energies 25% 7% Natural gas Biomass 16% 51% Hard coal Hydro power 5% 38% Brown coal Mineral oil 2% 45% RES / biomass proportion on primary energy consumption in Bavaria

  8. Biomass utilisation in Bavaria (total: 67 PJ) Biomass from waste 24,0% Wood fuel in small furnaces 48,9% Biomass for heat Straw (and power) plants 0,5% 17,3% Sewage gas Charcoal 3,7% 0,6% Sewage sludge Biogas Biofuels, vegetable oil 1,4% 0,9% 2,7%

  9. Strong political commitment • Integrated concept to promote the energetic use of biomass • Aim: biomass to cover 5% on primary energy consumption in Bavaria • Preserving existing small combustion plants and promoting the application of new ones • Extending the existing network of biomass heating plants - funding of pilot applications • Providing financial incentives for alternative heat supply technologies

  10. Bavarian support programmes • “BioKomm“ valid for: central heating systmes with automatic fuel supply (< 500 kW) financial support: 61.5 €/kW (minimum: 2,050 €/system) recipients: municipalities and church organisations • “BioHeiz 500” valid for: small scale biomass heating plants with automatic fuel supply (100 - 500 kW) financial support: 30 €/kW + 30 €/m installed heating network (doubling of funding rates in case of keeping certain emission limits) recipients: private persons, municipalities, organisations, farmers, SMEs Both programmes have allocated all available funds

  11. Support schemes in place • Federal RE market stimulation programme valid for: (central) biomass heating systmes with automatic fuel supply (< 100 kW) financial support: 60 €/kW (minimum: 1,700 €/system) recipients:private persons, SMEs • Bavarian programme to support invest. in biomass heating plants valid for: heating plants based on solid biomass (annual heat demand: min. 500 MWh) requirements:applied quality management; min. of 2,500 operational hours per year financial support: 40 €/MWh annual heat demand + 25 €/m installed heating network recipients: private persons, municipalities, organisations, farmers, SMEs • Low interest loans from public banks valid for: biomass applications in new or existing buildings

  13. Technological development • Since 1970‘s considerable R&D efforts on biomass harvesting, fuel processing and combustion equipment • Financial support for the development and testing of new biomass technologies - proportion of expenditure on R&D as part of the GDP is 3% • Recent R&D efforts concentrated on automatic wood pellet systems, smale scale biomass gasification, CHP biomass utilisation schemes • Innovative entrepreneurial structures; strong indigenous industry capabilities in biomass • State investment subsidies require good performance levels of biomass installations (efficiency > 90%)

  14. Wood pellet heating systems • System technology • automatic fuel supply (feeding screw or suction device) • automatic ignition • electronic combustion control systems for adjusting the fuel and air supply • heat exchanger cleaning device • automatic ash removal • backfire safety device • Typical costs for wood pellet heating systems • << 15 kW: stove: 8,000 € storage, buffer: n.a. • << 20 kW: boiler: 9,000 € storage, buffer: 4,500 € • 20 – 50 kW: boiler:13,000 € storage, buffer: 4,700 € • 50 – 100 kW: boiler:15,000 € - 50,000 € storage, buffer: 6,000 € – 15,000 € • 100 – 300 kW: boiler:20,000 € - 100,000 € storage, buffer:15,000 € – 30,000 €

  17. Areas of preference for application of wood pellet heating systems • Rural areas • low density type of settlement • heat supply through a district heating or gas network requires heat densities of at least 25 MW/km2 • high share of owner occupied houses • Urban peripheral regions • not connected to a gas or district heating net • reduce the dependency on fuel oil • Regions around biomass district heating networks • not connected to a gas or district heating net • supply with wood pellets by the operator of the heating plant
