1 European Markets for BioHeat and Small Scale Biomass CHP Alexander Weissinger - Head of Research KWB Industrial Leader Issue Group 2 domestic heating of the Renewable Heating and cooling platform Graz

2 KWB product line Wood pellet, wood-chip and wood log heaters from kw We take responsibility for the future both in terms of our products and how they are manufactured. 2

3 Heating Market Priority for service to the customer! Since different countries 6 languages Demand strongly rising premise distribution network service network trainings 3

4 Small Scale CHP Research and development for biomass combined heat and power generation up to 500kWel Founded in March 2008 Located in St. Margarethen/Raab Joint Venture: EBNER Industrieofenbau GMBH KWB Biomasseheizungen GMBH Innovation and technology leader for biomass heating systems Worldwide market and technology leader for heat-treating furnaces in the steel, aluminium and nonferrous heavy metal industries

5 Developments in the bioheating market The market in Europe is well developed, the potentials differ within the countries Challenges and Threats Emission limits are getting stricter EU wide harmonisation with the EcoDesign Directive will bring very strict limits (expected to be valid 2018) Goals and Potentials to be tackled Lowest emissions as possible for heating systems in an economically feasible way Improvement of efficiency Hybrid Systems and micro and small scale CHP Systems 5

6 Micro and small scale CHP Micro scale CHP are residential scale heating systems with electricity production grid independent / grid parallel operation, typical Pel < 5 kw serial product cogeneration systems for small industries, the service sector, micro grids, base heat for >>2.000 hours / year, typical Pel < 50 kw serial product Small scale CHP are cogeneration for industries, service sector, DHC base heat for >5.000 hours / year, typical Pel < 250 kw plant rather than product 6

7 Micro scale CHP (0.1-5 kwel) Electricity producing residential heating system Main feedstock High quality solid biomass (woody sources) Biogas, bio-oil operating hours < 2000 h Technologies covered Thermoelectrics, Stirling engine, steam cycles, Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) Internal Combustion, Micro Gas Turbines, (fuel cell) Main products Heat, by-product electricity 7

8 Micro scale CHP (5-50 kwel) for small industries, the service sector, micro grids Main feedstock Solid biomass (mostly woody sources) Syngas, SNG, biogas, bio-oil Operating hours >> 2000 h Technologies covered Stirling engine, steam cycles, ORC Gasification + IC Internal Combustion, (Externally Fired -MGT) Main products Heat, electricity 8

9 Small scale CHP ( kwel) cogeneration systems for industry, services, DHC, Main feedstock Solid biomass (wood chips) Biogas, syngas, bio-oil Operating hours > 5000 h Technologies covered Stirling engine, steam cycles, ORC Gasification + IC, IC, EF-MGT Main products Heat, electricity 9

14 Micro and small scale CHP European added value and VISION Contribution to the decarbonisation of the EU economy Contribution to decentralized electricity production in smart grids Contribution to electrification of the EU energy system In 2020: 5% of new installations (residential and small commercial applications) are CHPs In 2050: No heat production without cogeneration and storage systems Source: 14

15 Micro and small scale CHP Main economical challenges Ressources Budget Growth Valley of Death Established market for a standardised product Demonstration and monitoring projects Technology development experimental research Time We provide energy for life! 15

16 Micro and small scale CHP Main technological challenges - Cost reduction by technical optimization with consideration of serial production - Reduction of maintenance costs - Development of high temperature- and high corrosionresistant heat exchanger - Material development (seals, heat exchanger,...) - Integration in smart houses and smart grid - Development of efficient storage systems (electricity, heat) to avoid grid losses 16

17 Micro and small scale CHP Main industrial actors Boiler and stove manufacturers (Component suppliers of and/or) automotive industry Utilities and grid operators Others (engineering companies, material and component producers, ) Key actors mostly identified Clear committment between all industrial stakeholders and policy to raise the potential benefits of the Micro and Small Scale CHP Market is necessary. 17
