1 WAB Project co-financed by European Union s European Regional Development Fund

2 Pomeranian Agricultural Education Center in Gdansk ul. Trakt Św. Wojciecha 293

3 Survey of Pomeranian farmers Preparation of an electronic database based on collected questionnaires and interviews with farmers Creation of professional expertise defining the energy potential of the region Implementation of GIS digital maps with the locations of future biogas plants in Pomeranian Region

4 Training of 1000 Pomeranian farmers (lectures, workshops, conferences and working demonstrations of agricultural biogas plants) Study trip of selected 50 Pomeranian farmers to Trelleborg in Sweden Promotion of the project - development and delivery information leaflets, training materials, gadgets, publication of articles in the press

5 PAEC organized and supervised surveys of selected 640 farmers in 16 Pomeranian provinces Goal: evaluation of potential interest in biogas production energy resource assessment for biogas production at the disposal of farmers

6

7 Biomass (energy crops) Manure Organic waste (vegetable, animal waste: from farm, garden, kitchen, food industry)

8 Biomass Biogas Electric energy Thermal energy (waste) Bioethanol Thermal energy (biomass boilers)

9 1 MW biogas plant - corn of about 500 ha

10 According to the Electric Power Development Program which includes Renewable Energy Sources in the Pomeranian Region for biogas plants with an electrical capacity of 0.5 MW are planned to be build The potential for biogas production in the Region is 217 million m³ per year Currently - only 5 agricultural biogas plants work in the Pomeranian Region

11 Type of animals: cattle, pigs, poultry Theoretical potential: thous. m³/ year Technical potential: thous. m³/ year Total value of electricity: MWh

12 Type of farms surveyed Pomeranian Counties Cattle farms> 200 units Pig farms> units Poultry farms Na podstawie: Musiał i inni, 2008 malborski, słupski, sztumski, nowodworski, tczewski człuchowski, kościerski, bytowski kartuski, wejherowski, tczewski, słupski

15 The greatest potential for substrate usage for biogas production, reported by farmers in Pomeranian districts: 1. Wejherowo - about 22 million m³ / year, the dominant substrate: crops 2. Malbork - about 19 million m³ / year, the dominant substrate: manure 3. Slupsk - about 17 million m³ / year, the dominant substrate: crops 4. Gdansk - about 11 million m³ / year, the dominant substrate: manure 5. Tczew - about 10 million m³ / year, the dominant substrate: manure

16

17 Possible locations for agricultural biogas plants (indicated in yellow) based on agri-food waste

18 Total potential of biogas production (expressed in GWh) depending on the type of substrates - municipal waste - energy crops - manure

19 areas - part of the Natura 2000 network nature reserves areas of national parks and their surroundings terrain parks (landscape parks) as part of Natura 2000 floodplains, and areas of flood built-up areas Natural obstacles: forests, lakes, rivers Locations too distant to the substrate (transportation costs make the plant unfeasible)

22 1. Pomeranian Region has a significant and unused potential for biogas production 2. Biogas substrates are highly dispersed 3. PAEC analysis of manure shows that in total dispersed sources have much more potential than large farms 4. It is advisable to build small agricultural biogas plants in the region

23 5. Biogas plant locations should steer clear of flooded and protected natural areas (hence reduce investment risk) 6. Pomeranian farmers should establish plantations of wetlands on agricultural wasteland and use the limnic plants as an addition to the biogas substrates 7. Substrates located farther than 30 km from the biogas plant are unprofitable due to transportation costs

24 8. Construction of agricultural biogas plants will have a big impact on the growth of production of electricity and heat from renewable sources in Pomeranian Region 9. Biogas production will contribute to the diversification of the agricultural income 10. In the future agricultural biogas plants will be treated as priority investments 11. Development of biogas production depends on the effectiveness of promotional and educational campaigns and financial conditions

25 1. Reduction of environmental pollution Responsible management of organic waste and animal manure Reduction of eutrophication which improves the region's tourist attractions 2. Economic benefits Conventional energy saving Independence from external supply
