1 Biogas in Poland dr Magdalena Rogulska 1

2 Implementation of RED directive Ministry of Economy is hardly working on implementation of EU directives (in that RED 2009/28/EU) to Polish legislation Energy Department is working on Renewable Energy Act Renewable Energy Act the end of 2010??? National Renewable Energy Action Plan draft elaborated in May 2010, 2nd version published in November 2010 Amendment of Biofuel Act the end of 2010 r., system for sustainability certification for biofuels will be included Amendment of Long-term program for biofuels promotion in years Autumn 2010 r??? 2

3 Energy policy for Poland up priority areas, one of them RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES, including biofuels Increase of RES share in final energy consumption to 15% in 2020 and further increase in following years 10% biofuel share in transport fuels market in 2020 and in following years Protection of forests against over exploitation for supply of bioenergy and sustainable exploitation of arable areas for RE, in that biofuels production, avoiding concurrency between renewable energy sector and agriculture. Potential of biogas production from agriculture is large. The development of biogas production in agriculture is listed among the activities that have to be undertaken to reach the renewable energy targets. National program for development of biogas production from agriculture for energy purposes (mainly electricity and heat, but also injection to grid) was elaborated. 3

4 Chosen activities supporting RES development Elaboration of pathways to reaching 15% share of RES in division to sectors and technologies Further stabilization of system supporting usage of RES, Introduction of measures supporting production of heat & cool from RES Implementation of Long-term program for biofuels promotion in years Increase of obligatory share of biofuels in transport fuel market Implementation of national program Directions for agricultural biogas plants development in Poland Keeping further tax exemptation for energy produced by RES Stimulation of industry development connected with RES technologies

5 Structure of renewable energy production wind; 1,3 heat pumps; geothermal; solar; 0,024 0,3 0,2 biogas; 2,4 liquid biofuiels; 5,4 biod wastes; 0,004 hydro ; 3,4 Renewable energy production 228,3 PJ which equals 7,7% of primary energy production solid biomass; 86,9 Structure of renewable energy production (%), 2008 Source: Central Statistical Office

6 Demand for energy till 2030 Demand for energy; structure of renewable energy sources Source: Energy Policy till ktoe solid biomass hydro liquid biofuiels biogas wind geothermal solar Demand increase from 4,8 Mtoe in 2006 up to 12,9 Mtoe in 2030

7 Support measures for RES Electricity : Quota obligation and green certificates - obligation imposed on energy companies selling electricity to final consumers Purchase obligation for electricity generated from RES Heat: Purchase obligation for heat from RES Transportation biofuels: National indicativie targets - imposed on producers and importers of fuels Designated fleets Possibility of producing liquid biofuels by farmers for own use Excise tax relief for biofuels

8 Biogas production in PL There are working ca. 160 biogas installations, most ot them produce electricity and heat, some only heat. In 2009 according to URE (Energy Regulatory Office installations were producing electricity (CHP) in that: 73 on landfill gas (39,99 MW) 46 on sewage treatment gas (23,60 MW) 6 agricultural biogas plant (7,25 MW) In Poland there is ca industrial waste water plants and 1471 municipal waste water plants. At the end of 2009 biogas was produced only in 46 of them. In Poland there is registered ca. 700 active landfills, most of them have no full control of landfill gas emissions. Technical potential of landfill gas is connected with 100 biggest municipal landfills. The interest in agricultural biogas is rapidly growing, there are dozens of projects under development.

10 Amendments to the Energy Law Adapted in December 2009: Definition of agricultural biogas gaseous fuel obtained from agricultural feedstock, by-products from agriculture, fluid or solid animal excrements, by-products or wastes of food processing industry or forest biomass in the process of methane fermentation (Article 3, point 20a of the Energy Law); Change of definition of gaseous fuels high methane or nitrated natural gas, including liquefied natural gas and propane-butane or other kinds of flammable gas, supplied by means of a gas grid, and also agricultural biogas, regardless of their use (Article 3, point 3a of the Energy Law); Introduction of certificate of origin for agricultural biogas (defining contents of the certificate, procedure for applying, issuing, redeeming, etc.) (Article 9o, section1); according to the Energy Regulatory Office (URE) the system of certificates of origin for biogas will be implemented on the market from the 1st June Definition of legal basis and quality requirements for injection of biogas to gas grid.

11 Different ways of biogas / biomethane usage Production of electricity and / or heat» This direction was implemented in Poland till now Injection to gas network» Is possible after 2010 amendment to Energy Law Transport»???
