20 German Renewable Energy Act (EEG) Priority connection, purchase and transmission for electricity from renewable energy sources A consistent fee for this electricity paid by the grid operators for a 20- year period The core elements of the EEG guarantee : Mid and long term planning and investment security Calculable costs for consumers Specific fees for different technologies Low bureaucratic effort Participation for local and regional players 22

21 Development of the Renewable Energy Act EEG ( ) Consistent fee for 20 years Priority connection 250 new plants a year EEG 2000 EEG 2004 Bonus for energy crops Bonus for using heat 450 new plants a year Bonus for new techniques Bonus for emission reduction Bonus for manure 1000 new plants a year EEG 2009 EEG 2012 New system New requirements on efficiency and ecology 340 new plants a year EEG

22 NEW EEG 2014 (as of 1 st August 2014) For New Plants: No more bonus for energy crops and manure No more bonus for biogas upgrading No more heat utilization obligation Max. 100 MW gross additional plants each year Special feed-in-tariff for: - small manure plants: 23,73 ct/kwh - waste fermentation plants: 15,26 ct/kwh Common tariff ( 44) 150 kw 13,66 Cent/kWh 500 kw 11,78 Cent/kWh 5 MW 10,55 Cent/kWh 20 MW 5,85 Cent/kWh 24

32 Motiviation / Trends in developing and emerging countries Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) focus on the reduction of methane rather than electricity production Decentralized energy solutions driven by industry avoid energy black outs and high costs of importing fossil fuels Environmental regulations (waste water, municipal waste, agricultural waste, landfills, etc.) Feed in Tariffs / Quotas Biogas upgrading to Biomethane MSW, Agricultural residues, Landfill gas, Sewage gas, Energy crops? Establishment of National Biogas Associations!

36 Conclusion Germany is a frontrunner in renewables Biogas is as an all-rounder and a key in the energy mix Three main trends in Germany: 1. Feedstock: manure/waste - no energy crops 2. Flexibility (balancing the fluctuating power generation) 3. Export business of the manufactures (60 % forecast 2014 estim.) Huge potential and interest for biogas worldwide (biowaste digestion, agricultural residues, landfill gas, sewage gas) -> know-how is necessary Importance of National Biogas Associations, Safety standards and operators training! Lot of experience and know-how in Germany. Partnerships! 47

37 Thank you for your attention! BIOGAS Convention & Trade Fair we will see us in Leipizig! 2nd to 3rd of Feburary 2016 Biogas Basics! Know-How Transfer! International Panel on Development & Emerging Countries! Best practise on Waste digestion and exotic substrates! 48
