2 Biogas as renewable energy in EU In relation to the objective of 20 to 30% renewable energy in the EU there is a long way before biogas becomes more common to use as energy source. We are here!!! Source: European Environmental Agency 2

3 Renewable energy in Denmark Heat pumps Waste Biogas Wood Straw Wind

4 Biogas in the Danish Energy System Biogas is a Small player Renewable energy is depending on political will Competition with other RE, Combustion and wind energy.

5 Renewable energy in Denmark Heat pumps Waste Biogas Wood Straw Wind 11

6 Central biogas plants in Denmark Endeavour of the Danish Energy Authorities: About 20 central biogas plants were built in the late 80s and early 90s. They represent a total unique international reference Nordic BIoEnergy Reference plant

27 Præsentation for Energipolitisk Udvalg Torsdag den 15. januar 2009 Levering af biogas til naturgasnettet Sønderjysk Biogas - Vi gi r byen gas!

28 Opfordring Afsætning af biogas til naturgasnettet bør kunne finde sted under samme vilkår som afsætning til kraftvarmeproduktion. Derved skabes der bedre muligheder for biogas skabes der mulighed for optimal udnyttelse sikres den fremtidige udvikling Sønderjysk Biogas - Vi gi r byen gas!

29 Hvorfor naturgasnettet? Afsætning via naturgasnettet giver optimal anvendelse af gassen intet spild fleksibel placering bedst mulig logistik udvidelsesmuligheder sikret afsætning flere anvendelsesmuligheder for gassen Sønderjysk Biogas - Vi gi r byen gas!

30 Hvorfor naturgasnettet? Afsætning via naturgasnettet giver mulighed for udvidelse af bestående anlæg intet monopol for kraftvarmeværket biogas i tyndere befolkede områder total fremtidssikring Sønderjysk Biogas - Vi gi r byen gas!

31 Government Green Growth Plan 2009 Promotion in biogas through From currently 5 % to 50 % of manure into biogas in 2020 Co-ordination plan for construction of biogas plants Plan for integration of biogas into the energy sector Obligation for municipalities to point out where to build plants Distribution in natural gas grid on equal terms as direct co-generation Equal opportunities for biogas to earn money as natural gas suppliers Financing 20 % construction subsidy (in total 300 mill. DKK from 2010 to 2012) loans guaranteed by municipalities capital from investors

42 WASTE FEEDSTOCKS Food waste (source separated household waste) Approx t/a Sludge (from waste water treatment plants) Approx t/a

43 Typical mass balance Product I/O Comments Biowaste 1000 kg Food waste 70-82% Sorting reject+grit kg This number can be improved with better participation Bio-fertilizer ~300 kg Biogas at 60% CH m3 150 m3 on pure biowaste kwh Electricity kwh 300 kwh on pure biowaste

44 DIGESTATE BIO-FERTILIZER The produced digestate (approx t/a) do not need to go through any maturing process At Ecopro they intend to distribute the organic bio-fertilizer to the agricultural sector and to the private sector. Cambi bio-fertilizer as produced Attractive bio-fertilizer due to: - 100% pathogen-free & nutritious - Minimal odour (smells like soil) - 30% DS content - < 0,5% plastic in weight Scotland: Spreading the Cambi bio-fertilizer into grasslands

45 Suggestions for Norway Look at the neighbors (Denmark and Sweden) do not repeat bad experience! Find the political argumentation for Biogas in the RE strategy ( you need political support) Calculate the economical break even for investment ( you need investors) Find the biomass and waste available for biogas production ( you need biomass and preferably a waste problem, ex fish industry) Recycling og Nutrients as a part of future strategy.
