  1. BIOENERGY 1. Session - Mapping of existing infrastructures Kai Sipilä VTT Processes, Finland Future Needs for Research Infrastructures in Energy 1.6.2005 in Brussels, DG Research

  2. 1. Drivers in Europe: - EU White Paper 6 --> 12 % Renewables - Bioenergy up to 130 Mtoe/a -> from where ? - Directives on RES-electricity, CHP and Biofuels - Landfill directive: urban and industrial waste 2. ERA Bioenergy in 2002 – key conclusions 3. EC New instruments in 6. FWP, e.g. - Bioenergy Network of Excellent (NoE) - IP`s: Chrisgas (syngas) and Renew (transport fuels thermochemical) - ERANET Bioenergy (6 member states) 4. Technology Platforms, e.g. - Biofuels for Transport - Forest Industry Platform 5. Other networks, e.g. - EUREC, (EREC, Eubia, Aebiom etc.) - IEA Bioenergy Agreement – 21 countries 6. Bioenergy RTDD priorities: fuel supply, biofuels, bioelectricity, biorefinery 7. Research Infrastructure criteria in general 8. Conclusions and input for the future steps

  3. THE INNOVATION CHAIN to be included to the European Research Infrastructures Basic Research Aplied Research Risk Novelty Research New innovations Industrial Projects Demonstrations To commercial operations New RI´s Implementation to industrial and Commercial Market

RES-E 2020 2010 Biofuels for transport 6/8 % Forest industry wood demand in 2010

  5. EU-25 Bioenergy RTD in 2002: • total volume about 220 M€/a • and 20 M€ EC funding (10 %) • > 7 000 researcher • > 150 RTD organisations • > 150 RTD programmes • “ERA Actions should aim at: • - Supporting transfer of existing knowledge and developed technologies to minimize “double work” • - Organizing joint RTD initiatives on topics requiring further development” Co-ordinated by Prof. Josef Spitzer, JR, AUT

  6. Results (1) • Existing knowledge and developed technologies • Liquid/gaseous biofuels: Ethanol from sugar/starch crops, biodiesel, biogas • Combustion of wood and wood residues: Medium and large scale boilers, steam cycle power production • Modifications and optimizations may be needed • To account for local conditions • To improve operation and economy Source: ERA Bioenergy Final report

  7. Results (2) Topics requiring further development • Feedstock production and pre-treatment • Forestry residues, biogenic MSW fraction, short rotation crops • Standardized solid fuels production and trade • Systems studies on land use change and non-energy market competition • Conversion processes • Advanced gasification for power and syngas production • Ethanol from wood in “integrated production plants” • Bio-oil from flash pyrolysis • Adaptation of combustion engines and gas turbines for biofuels, e.g. for IGCC plants • End use integration • Co-combustion of biofuels with fossil fuels • Accounting models for Kyoto-related benefits • Small scale combustion with automatic operation and emission control • Fuel logistics and vehicle adaptation • Concentrate on “high volume low cost” applications Source: ERA Bioenergy Final report

  11. Bark boiler Biofuels: pellets bio oils, SNG EtOH/MeOH SynDiesel BIOREFINERY IN FOREST INDUSTRY ? - benefit of raw material, polygeneration, large scale - Pulp & Paper Mill Power Heat < 500 MWf BioPower Tax incentives, policies will prioritize business interest Bark Power Steam Wood residues Wood handling Forest biomass in future also urban waste and straw Biofuel production < 300 MWf Crude Oil Refinery

  14. Conclusions • Research Infrastructures is an interesting and important instrument for European Bioenergy RTD • EU Directives set challenging targets, additional instruments are needed • Key priorities: - fuel chain and logistics (forest, agro and biogenic waste) - transportation fuels production - new power production technologies - new integrated concepts like Biorefineries • Criteria for RI, e.g. - key priority areas in the 7. FWP RTD work plan - novelty, industrial commitment and convincing innovation chain - access to European RTD institutions and actors, existing RTD infrastructure investments significant - networking of the RI-investments, permanent bodies ? • The present new EC instruments, like NoE Bioenergy, IP`s, and the potential new Technology platforms can offer present activities and new ideas. Networks like EUREC, EREC etc. will also have visions and concrete proposals to be integrated to future brainstorming with the bioenergy RTD actors.
