  1. QUESTOR Meeting. Kedco – Bioenergy Developers. 12/05/2010 AD plant feeder Biogas Capture CHP Unit

  2. Kedco – Bioenergy Developers. • Kedco plc develop platforms that convert biomass and waste to green energy using leading edge bio scientific technologies. • Kedco plc is the technology provider. • Technology partner companies: • agriKomp • Wet anaerobic digestion. • BEKON • Dry fermentation. • CPC • Small scale gasification <100kW. • ZeroPoint • Large scale gasification >2MW

  3. Kedco – Biogas Developers • Kedco have planning permission for a 1MWel biogas plant at Banbridge, Co. Down. • agriKomp proven German technology provider – involved in over 1000 projects. • Feedstock – grass silage, maize silage and cattle slurry. • Planning permission in 9 months: extension of existing farm practice. • THE CHALLENGE: • Energy distribution costs! • THE SOLUTION: • Micro gas network.

  4. Micro gas network - A case study, Isny, Germany.

  5. Biogas from grass.Market opportunity driven research. • 790,000ha of grassland in NI. Biggest biomass resource available. • 1ha of grass will produce enough renewable electricity for 3 homes for a year. • Consistent feedstock leads to a consistent biogas yield. • Biogas can be used as a biofuel. • Biorefineries. • Grasslands can store up to 260 tonnes of carbon per ha (FAO 2007). • Promotes biodiversity. • Provides additional income in rural regions.

  6. Our Partnership vision. Biogas from grass is an opportunity to create cohesion in our economy by bringing together the energy, agricultural, construction/engineering, research, education and tourism sectors. If only 5% of NI`s grasslands was used for biogas, NI could benefit from: • Renewable electricity for 120,000 homes; • 400 GWh of renewable heat; • £30m per year to farmers for providing the feedstock; • £80m to the construction industry; • A new local market for the engineering sector worth £80m; • Up to 1,000 new jobs in the operational phase alone; • Infrastructure development; • Integration with wind, wave and waste renewables to achieve energy independence; • Export potential: But the challenge is how does our SME based economy realise this potential? Industry lead partnerships with academia and government.
