  1. Biofuels in Germany and in the European UnionPolitical Conditions and Market Trends Internatıonal Symposium on biofuels 10th August 2006 ANKARA Dieter Bockey Union zur Förderung von Oel- und Proteinpflanzen e.V. (UFOP)

  2. Tasks... • The work conducted by UFOP is divided into four main fields of work: • Political lobbying to national and international authorities. • Optimisation of agricultural production by promoting research and supporting variety trials. • Development of new means of exploitation. • Public relations work to promote the sales of all end products on indigenous oil and protein-bearing plants.

  3. National Level - Framework • Renewable Energy Law • Biomass ordinance • Programs supporting investments • Mineral oil tax exemptions for biofuels • R & D – Program

  4. Payments for electricity made of biomass determined in the law for renewable energies – 2004 1-annual reduction: 1,5%

  5. Comparison of the heating value (ct/kWh) Source: German Farmer‘s Association

  6. Situation and Results in Germany (2005) Economic factor bioenergy: • Turnover 6.35 Billion €: 1,7 bn € biodiesel market 1,1 bn € electricity market 0,5 bn € bio heat market • Investments 3,05 Billion €: 1,3 bn € electricitiy market 1,25 bn € heat market approx. 0,5 bn € biofuel market • Employment: 57.000 (“job-machine”) Climate protection: CO2 - savings: 26 Million Tons

  9. Development of the bio-diesel market in Germany

  10. Identification of Biodiesel

  14. Use of Biodiesel / EN 14214 Warrenties for B 100: 1 EURO IV: Biodiesel Sensor available Warranties for B 5: (Component in fossil Diesel: EN 590)

  15. Consequences of different fuel mixtures

  16. Tax on Diesel Fuel in EU 25(May 2004) €Cent/l

  17. Energy Tax Law (01.08.2006) Taxation of Biofuels 2006/2012

  18. Energy Tax Law (01.08.2006) • Taxation on biofuels: • Biodiesel (B5) 15 Cent/l (till 31.12.2006) • Bioethanol 0 Cent/l • Agriculture and Forestry: – Reimbursement System • Public traffic (buses): Reimbursement – 5 Cent/l on the corresponding tax rate on biodiesel/plant oil • Annual evaluation of the tax exemption/over compensation

  19. Energy Tax Law/ Quota system (till 01.01.2007) • Precondition for a tax relief for: - Biodiesel – DIN EN 14214 - Pure Plant oil – DIN V 51605 • No Taxation till 2015 on:- Synthetic Biofuels (biomass to liquid – btl) - Bioethanol from cellulosis - E85 => But: Annual report about over compensation • Agreement necessary between the ministry of: agriculture, environment, traffic, and economics is necessary about the environmental advantages of biofuels: CO2- reduction potential, sustainable cultivation of arable land

  20. Energy Tax Law/ Quota system (01.01.2007) • Introduction of mandatory bio fuel quotas: - Sellers of diesel and gazoline on the stage of tax ware houses - Biofuel producer (biodiesel, plant oil) Mineraloil companies have to fullfil the following commitments: Diesel: 4,4 % Gazoline: 2 % (2007 - 2009), 3% till 2010 Additional „total qouota“ for diesel and gazoline market: Minimum portion: 5,7% 2009 and 6 % till 2010 (all comitments on energetic basis !) Precondition: Biodiesel - DIN EN 14214 Pure plant oil - DIN V 51606 Bioethanol - 99 Vol. % alcohol content No charging of oil and fats which are used directly in the mineral oil refinery process, but hydration process like „next btl“ will be acknowledged

  21. Impacts of the Quotasystem

  22. Conclusions • The fast growing biodiesel (biofuel) market in Germany is a result of comprehensive tax exemptions and warranties given by DC, VW • Introduction of a quality management is necessary • Level playing field: EN 14214 • Agreement of a world-wide standard of biodieseland non technical criteria on sustainable production of biofuels/crops • Need of harmonisation of tax exemptions, mandatory systems in the EU (common market)
