Contribution of Agriculture to Energy Production

This document discusses the role of agriculture in energy production, focusing on bioenergy resources in Danish agriculture. It explores the targets, instruments, and key figures related to energy production and the use of biomass/waste in Denmark. The document also highlights R&D efforts in biomass and waste technologies, as well as future biomass resources.

Presentation Transcript

  1. ”Contribution of agriculture to energy production” Tallin 7th October 2005 Bioenergy resources from Danish Agriculture Morten Gylling Food and Ressource Economic Institute Rolighedsvej 25 1958 Frederiksberg C Tlf. 35 28 68 83 E-mail: gylling@foi.dk

  2. 4 main targets: stabilising energy use at ~ 800 PJ continued economic growth reduce CO2 emission (Koyoto) substainable development Instruments: taxes tax excemptions subsidies regulations R, D&D The Danish Energypolivy

  3. Primary energy production - Denmark

  4. Key figures – use of biomass/waste • District heating supply (cities & villages): • 120 biomass-to-district heating plants (heat only) – straw & wood (50/50) • 10 straw or wood-chip-fired decentralised power plants (CHP) (biomass as main fuel) • 30 waste-incineration plants - 18 CHP and 12 heat • 6 centralized (big) power plants (CHP) which use biomass, among other fuels, • 30 district heating plants (CHP) using biogas as the main fuel

  5. Key figures – use of biomass/waste • Industrial plants: • 200 industrial/institutions heat and CHP plants • Small heat installations (houses, farms): • 500,000 wood-burning stoves • 70,000 wood-burning boilers • 30,000 wood-pellet furnaces • 9,000 straw furnaces

  6. Fuel tax excemption for biomass Fuel costs for district heating production(2002)

  7. ”Green reward” - biomass to electricity • Power producers will receive a ”green reward” on top of the market price • A very complex set of rules (Electricity Supply Act.) • Example biogas: Fixed price • 0,60 DKK pr. kWh feed into the grid

  8. R&D – biomass & waste • Combustion – co-firing • Characterisation of fuels • Gasifikation (thermal) • Biogas (bakteriel) • Liquid biofuels – bioethanol, DME • Largest single focus area within the applied energy R&D programmes

  9. R&D regarding technologies that can lead to a broader biomass fuel band More advanced conversion technologies - beyond combustion Liquid biofuels Biomass to hydrogen R&D trends – change of focus

  10. Should - technology adapt to ressources or resources adapt to technologies Future biomass resources

  11. Straw 30 - 36 PJ Energy crops 14 - 26 PJ - short rotation coppice - mischantus - ”energygrain” Grain - ”unlimited” (5% bioethanol admixture ~ 390,000 tonnes) Oilrapeseed ”unlimited” (5% biodiesel admixture ~ 350,000 tonnes) Future biomass resources
