  1. Pearse Buckley Sustainable Energy Ireland Energy from Waste

  2. Industry Perspective A waste management solution A waste recovery process A cost saving SEI Perspective Renewable energy Security of supply Greenhouse gas abatement WHY ENERGY FROM WASTE?

  3. Mass burn Novel technologies Gasification, pyrolysis, etc. Anaerobic Digestion Organic fraction of waste stream Landfills TYPES OF ENERGY FROM WASTE

  4. What is Anaerobic Digestion?

  5. Input 146,000 tonnes per year Cattle, pig & poultry manure Organic food waste Output 2.1 MWe/14.4 GWhe 15 GWhth to future DH system Digestate to fertiliser Case Study –Holsworthy Biogas Plant

  6. Case Study –Holsworthy Biogas Plant

  7. Capital cost €3,500/kW O & M €350/kW TYPICAL COSTS

  8. Waste management through Added Value Community involvement dimension Renewable Energy Secure energy supply GHG savings Holsworthy 10,500 tonnes/yr – power generation 4,000 tonnes/yr – district heating Avoided CH4 emissions BENEFITS

  9. Budget 2000 – 2006 €16.25 million Primary goals Stimulate deployment of renewables that are close to commercial Assess / develop technologies which have prospects for the future SEI RD&D PROGRAMME

  10. Programme categories Projects close to commercial – 10% to 25% of eligible costs Innovative R&D projects – up to 50% of eligible costs Public good / commissioned public good research – 100% of eligible costs SEI RD&D PROGRAMME

  11. Primary target areas Biomass Combined Heat and Power Plants Biomass Heating Plants Biogas AD CHP Plants Small scale 30 kWe to 1 MWe Further information www.sei.ie and look under “Research and Development” and “Renewables RD&D” SEI RD&D PROGRAMME
