  1. Promoting the Use of Bioenergy in the agricultural and forestry sector FoundationforAgriculturalInnovation (FIA) MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE Fernando Bas M. Executive Director

  2. FIA isan Agency of theMinistry of Agriculturewhosegoalis: To promoteand encourage innovation in the agri-food and forestry sectors, by strengthening their capabilities and entrepreneurship, to enhance sustainable development and competitiveness of Chile.

  3. Foresee topics of upcoming importance and guide innovation Support producers, companies, and R & D centers in the implementation of innovation = Create learning instances, and provide tools and motivation for innovation FIA Seizes, Sows, Grows, and Disseminates Innovation for the Competitiveness of Chile Propagate innovation strategies and practical applications that increase competitiveness

  4. Areas of InnovationInitiatives Reduces the risk of innovating in strategic areas: supports producers, companies, and R & D centres, in developing prototypes and new inputs that can be replicated by others

  5. FIA Instruments topromoteInnovation • Innovation Projects • Innovation Roundtrips • Innovation Consulting • National Innovation Programs

  6. New instrumentsto co-finance Non-Conventional Renewable Energy (NCRE) projects in the agri-forestry sector (Spanish: ERNC, Energias Renovables No Convencionales)

  7. Objectives • Increase the competitiveness of the agro-forestry sector through reductions in energy costs • Promote and propagate the adoption Non-Conventional Renewable Energy technologies in agriculture production processes

  8. Curve of TechnologyAdoptionvs. Time EarlyAdopters Adaptation of New Technologies 2 years Time, GeneratedValue

  9. Degrees of Innovation in FIA MajorInnovation Adaptation: Modify or adjust an existing product, process, service , or management strategy to local conditions, in order to obtain an expected outcome NoInnovation

  10. If profitable: Why these technologies have not been adopted already? • Large fear of risk present in small and micro producers (99,5 % of agriculture producers)* • Relatively high initial investment and long-term return on investment • Misinformation, or no information, regarding the implementation and operation of new technologies • Producers’ wary way of thinking: seeing is believing • *AgricultureCensus, 2007

  11. Positive external outcomes: Source of reliable self-supply for the long term, what contributes to diversification and reduces vulnerability and reliance on foreign supply sources Stable, independent production costs independent of oil costs Reduced environmental impact (local and global) than traditional projects. Better acceptance in the community and in the society at large Contribute to sustainable development of geographically isolated areas

  12. TYPES OF TECHNOLOGIES • BIOGAS • SOLAR PANNELS • EOLIC • BIOMASS

  15. EXECUTION THROUGH FIA Min. Agric. REGIONS Funds Submission of applications FIA Review of applications FIA - CER Allocation of funds FIA

  16. Demonstrations of Prototype Biogas Plants for Small and Medium-sized Agriculture Producers

  17. Biogas Projects feed Traditional use of manure as fertilizer in agricultural systems manure fertilizer waste tank

  18. Biogas Projects feed light manure fertilizer energy heat anaerobic digestor

  19. General Objective • The objective of this project is to bring about the construction and start-up of 6 prototype plants that demonstrate the utilization of organic agriculture waste, and allow for the replacement of fossil fuels, considering: • Self management • Eco-friendly • Sustainable • Profitable • Model for demonstrations

  20. Technical Objetives • For the anaerobic digestion process to be efficient, the biodigestors must run at a constant temperature of 35 ° C • The system uses on average 50% of the produced biogas to maintain temperature (self-consumption) • The biodigestor, in order to maintain a constant inside temperature must furnished with a good agitation system • The agitation is obtained by a recirculation system powered by an electric pump

  21. Prototype

  22. Prototype Reactor bin 40 m3 Heaterpowered by biogas Solar heating panels Retrofeed tank

  23. Collective Prototype

  24. Collective Prototype Reactor bins 40 m3 Heaterpowered by biogas Solar heating panels Retrofeed tank

  25. Project: Individual BiogasPlant

  26. Expected Outcome • Reduction in Energy costs • Production of biofertilizers • Reduction in manure odors and pathogens • Replacement of fossil fuels => greater environmental sustainability • Prototype replication • Increased competitiveness
