  1. Upgraded biogas - biomethane for the transportation sector

  2. One of the largest privately owned energy companies Headquarter inESSEN 32 MILLION customers in Europe and the US 43.000 employees €38,2 BILLION in revenue (2016) Customised energy solutions and smart grids More than €11 BILLION invested in sustainable energy in the past decade 2.500 wind turbines – onshore and offshore European ultrafast charging network (approx. 200 stations by 2020)

  3. Current biogas production in Denmark GrøngasHjørringBiomass treated60.000 tons yearly GrøngasVråBiomass treated300.000 tons/yr Biogas produced 9 mill. m3 yearly LimfjordensBioenergiBiomass treated120.000 tons/yr Biogas produced4,5 mill. m3 yearly Sønderjysk Biogas BevtoftBiomass treated600.000 tons/yr Biogas produced15 mill. m3 yearly

  4. Partnerships with local farmers

  5. Solutions for heavy transport Biogas stationsTogether with OK, a Danish fuel supplier, we own three biogas stations Waste management Waste in Copenhagen is transferred to nearby incineration plants. Afterwards the trucks refilled at nearby gas stations City busses – electricity or biogasTwo electric busses, line 3A in Copenhagen, runs on renweable electricity and is charged in 1-3 minutes by opportunity charging City distribution Goods from transport centres can refill at OK/E.ON gas stations in the Copenhagen-area Charging ferries

  6. The road ahead (from 2020)

  7. Life-cycle emissions for a bus

  8. Life-cycle costs for busses

  9. Which fuel makes most sense in heavy transport? • ”Given the significant uncertainty related to heavy vehicles maturity, especially for busses and trucks, gas is the only climate-friendly alternative to diesel on this side of 2030”. • Source: Energinet (2017), El og gas til transport – analyse af fremtidens drivmidler

  10. The latest Danish report on heavy transport (busses) • Recommendation: ”Biogas seems to be the most obvious choice”. • Source: COWI (2018), Alternative drivmidler i Sydtrafik

  11. Different needs require different solutions Passenger cars Light and heavy duty vehicles Long haul trucks and ships        Electric In city centers        CNG/CBG In the outskirts        LNG/LBG Primary use Potential secondary use

  12. Municipalities and regions are driving the transition • The active use of procurement requirements is essential • The length of contracts (6+ year) • Most economically advantageous tender vs life-cycle costing (incl. side-effects) • Allocate points for reduced noise and life-cycle effects • Demand certified biogas • E.ON helps the City of Copenhagen meet its 2025-target • Supports Denmark’s climate policies • - 10 percent of energy usage in transport has to be renewable in 2020 • - 0,9 percent advanced biofuels in 2020 • - Increasing EU-requirements in 2021-2030

  13. What is storage? A green gas grid Sector coupling between electricity, gas and heating Peak load solution High security of supply Gas for transport Electro fuels Current Danish gas storage ~ 11 TWh If all carswereelectricvehicles ~ 0,1 TWh (2,6 mio. x 40 kWh)

  14. European trends

  15. Evolution of primary energy biogas production in the EU • Biogas production has seen a significant growth in the last years in Europe, mainly driven by the favourable support schemes in place in several European Union Member States. In 2015, the total biogas production in the European Union reached 654 PJ of primary energy or more than 18 billion m3 natural gas equivalent, as result of a long term development, with 92 PJ biogas produced in 2000, 167 PJ in 2005 and 357 PJ in 2010. • Source: Scarlat, N. et al.

  16. Evolution of global installed electricitybiogas plant capacity • Biogas plants had an installed electricity capacity of 2400 MW in 2015 and 2438 MW in 2016 and generated 1030 GWh electricity. • Source: Scarlat, N. et al. (2018), Biogas: Developments and perspectives in Europe, Renewable Energy

  17. Biomethane use in transport in European countries • The latest data show that the use of biomethane as a transport fuel in the Europe, has achieved 160 million m3 of biomethane in 2015, of which 113 million m3 in Sweden, 35 million m3 in Germany, 10 million m3 in Norway, 2 million m3 of in Iceland, 0.2 million m3 of in Finland and 28000 m3 in Italy. • Source: Scarlat, N. et al.
