The German Case: Building on Existing E i i gSchemes.


Targets for Biomethane in Germany.

Biomethane became part of overall national energy and climate programme (1 action point out of 29) in 2007climate programme (1 action point out of 29) in 2007

Mix of measures focussing on (a) grid access and (b) developing demand markets

Targets are set in the Gas Grid Access Ordinance: 2020: 6%; 2030: 10% of today’s German natural gas consumption

60 billion kWh (2020) resp. 100 billion kWh (2030)


Measurements & Regulations along the value chain.

Measurements & Regulations (I)

Renewable Energy Sources Act („EEG“)P d d f bi i th f th EEG iPower produced from biogas in the sense of the EEG is applicable for feed-in tariffs if used in CHP processes

Various boni support biogas feed-in, such as the technologyb b d th di itbonus based on the gas upgrading capacity

Renewable Energies Heat Act („EEWärmeG“)Buildings erected after January 1st 2010 are obliged toBuildings erected after January 1st, 2010, are obliged toemploy renewable energies for their heat supply

Biomethane is one way to fulfill this obligation

Baden-Württemberg has its own version of this law(EWärmeG), applying also to existing buildings


Measurements & Regulations (II)

Gas Grid Access Ordinance (GasNZV)P f d G G id A d G id E t ( t littiPreferred Gas Grid Access and Grid Entry (cost splitting between grid operator and biomethane supplier, grid operator is obliged to ensure capacity)

P f d A ti B l ( i l ti tiPreferered Accounting Balance (special accounting time span of 12 months and +/- 25 percent accounting flexibility)


Market development.

Projects:

28 projects are running (March 2010) – approx. 1900 million kWh/ap j g ( ) pp

Scale: 150 Nm3/h up to 5.000 Nm3/h, typically 350 to 700 Nm3/h

Main sales drivers: (1) Renewable Energy Sources Act,

(2) Blends with natural gas (5%-20% up to 100%)

(3) biomethane as biofuel(3) biomethane as biofuel

Players:

major energy companies & regional/local energy suppliermajor energy companies & regional/local energy supplier

Small & medium-sized businesses from the “traditional” biogas branch

Farmers, agricultural cooperations

Lessons learned.

Political framework builds on existing schemes that are adapted to the “biomethane” casethe biomethane - case

Ambitious targets 2020/2030 require strong increase in installation rates per year: approx 100 installations per year necessary forrates per year: approx. 100 installations per year necessary for target fulfilment

Targets demand significant investments into the sector, until 2020 approx. 12 billion € in plants and equipment

Almost all realized and planned projects demand cooperations b t l i d l f i ltbetween energy supply companies and players from agriculture.

Promoting Vertical Alliances: The biogaspartner“ projectThe „biogaspartner“‐ project.


Starting Point: Vertical alliance as critical success factor.

Situation: Need for Cooperation due to

Extended value chain & Different businesses involved

Required biomass input over project life-time

Economic requirements: Profit margin requires operational efficiency on all levels

Approach: Focus on key business & experience leads to overall high level of operational efficiency

Requirement: Reliable partnership & cooperation models


dena project: biogaspartner.

International cooperation platform to support biogas feed-in

Provides information and enhances transparency about political, technical and economical aspects

B i t th t k h ld f th ti l h iBrings together stakeholders of the entire value chain
