1 Tack för Kick uppmärksamheten! Off Biogas Väst Experiences from Biogas Väst Göteborg 26 januari 2010 How to build a cluster within biogas as vehicle fuel Bernt Hans Larsson Svensén Business Biogas Region Väst Göteborg Business Region Göteborg

2 Business Region Göteborg A public company Developing trade and industry Represents the Göteborg Region Private and public funding Non profit & neutral Sustainable growth High level of employment Diversity in industry

3 Content The structure of biogas fuel business The Biogas Väst project The results of Biogas Väst The biogas competence in Westsweden Lessons learnt The vision

4 Biogas Väst started in 2001 An initiative from Business Region Göteborg The first regional project in the world regarding biogas as vehicle fuel A cooperation between industry and society Biogas Väst is since 2010 managed by the regional organisation Västra Götalandsregion. Contact: Hanna Jönsson, hanna.m.jonsson@vgregion.se

5 The structure of the biogas fuel business

6 Co-operation between industry society & academy Energy & Gas Waste Biogas fuel Agriculture & Forest Society & politics Automotive Transport Shipping Academy & Research

7 The thinking behind the project Act locally think globally Acceptance Local and regional authorities National authorities Identify the stakeholders Substrate & Waste Biogas production Gasdistribution Fueling stations Transports & Vehicles Agree about common goals

8 Why a regional project (and not a local)? Building gas-fueling stations = building gas-powered vehicle market Fueling stations builds a local market for cars, buses & hd trucks The local markets together built a regional and national market Local regional national international

9 The Biogas Väst project

10 The Biogas Väst co-operation project in Westsweden The overall targets Market development Production Distribution Vehicles Purpose: To develop a new industry that reduce GHG & create jobs

11 Cooperation model: Public-Private Partnership Contract Fixed project Fixed planning Fixed period Legal agreement Infrastructure Consortium Investment in the project Alternative choice Cooperation PPP Development project Flexibel planning Flexibel period Confidential agreement Common goal Network Investment outside the project Dependency

12 Biogas chain partners in Biogas West Biogas cluster with approx.70 companies and 28 municipalities Increased sales of biogas & vehicles Fueling stations Car Manufacturer Retailers Biogas production Raw material Substrate

13 The Biogas Väst target groupes and adressed information TARGET GROUPES Industrial stakeholders Politicians (local, regional & national level) The end user (i.e. potential buyers of gas-powered vehicles) INFORMATION New business New jobs, environmental benefits Cars available, refuelling, Costs

14 The results of Biogas Väst

15 Development in West Sweden ~160 ~ ~45 ~ FUELLING STATIONS BIOGAS as vehicle fuel (GWh) VEHICLES TONS CO2 REDUCTION

20 The competence

21 Biogas competence Substrate processing Organic waste processing Shredding Mixing & Hygienisation

22 Biogas competence Biogas Production Agriculture Biogas Treatment & Upgrading Cryogenic upgrading system to produce CBG (Compressed BioGas) or LBG (Liquefied BioGas)

23 Biogas competence Biogas Production - Components Pumps Digesters Agitation

24 Biogas competence Biogas distribution & filling stations Cryogenic storing, transportation and handling of liquefied gases. Storing, transportation, handling and filling of compressed gas.

25 Biogas competence Gas-powered vehicles

26 Lesson learnt (1) Work in networks throughout the biogas chain from waste/raw material, production, distribution to use. Mix of commercial and public sector actors Neutral project management with political/public connections and with good contacts in the business sector at the same time Work long-term with continuity of project staff

27 Lesson learnt (2) The project should have the nature of an industrial project rather than an environmental project. Focus on business development that produces environmental results. Focus on specific targets (number of filling stations, vehicles, gas sold, etc.) instead of emissions. Set vision and objectives that unite and motivate the stakeholders/actors

28 Lesson learnt (3) Coordinate a comprehensive program of grant applications based on the actors' investment needs. Starting to establish international links at an early stage has produced a ripple effect. Political acceptance at local and regional level is necessary The project can be used as a model for other regions (as has happened in Sweden). The limitation lies in the different countries' legislation (waste, renewable fuels, injection into the natural gas, network, etc.) but should be adaptable in accordance with other countries' conditions.

29 Vision A world leading biogas cluster Liquified biomethane Biogas system in agriculture Gasification Development of gas-powered vehicles and engines An expanded market for biomethane, natural gas & hydrogen Waste refinery
