2. Some facts about the energy agency Started 1998 7 employees Turn-over about 1 M euro per year An actor within the counties of: Dalarna – 15 local authorities (276.000 inhabitants) Gävleborg – 10 local authorities (276.000 inhabitants) Renewables’ share in the region: ab. 35%

3. Where is Gävleborg and Dalarna ?

4. Regional actor; energy guidance We support and develop the local authority energy consultancy - as a commission of the Swedish Energy Agency - in the counties of Dalarna and Gävleborg + 6 neighbouring local authorities in two other counties ” The primary task of local authority energy consultancy is to provide consumers with independent advice on energy matters”!

5. Regional actor; renewable energy We affect enterprises and organizations – with the purpose to increase the share of renewable energy in the counties of Gävleborg and Dalarna! The renewable energy comes from sun, wind and water, for instance through: solar collectors for heating solar photovoltaics for electricity ”sun-stored” biofuel for heating, electricity and vehicle-fuel wind power for electricity hydro power for electricity

6. Objectives: Energy efficiency Renewable energy sources Increased growth Increased employment Sustainable environment

9. The energy-situation in a ”nut-shell” • Population increasing fast • Energy-demand increasing very fast • Fossil oil decreasing – oil-price increasing • Production of electricity ”shaky” – electricity-price increasing • Fossil gas decreasing – not stable to develop • Green-house effect increases! • Supply and demand unbalanced - dangerous • Catch the alternatives! • Grow biomass – use the sun – globally! • Biomass is needed for all sorts of energy!

10. Some actual tasks/projects • - Pellet-heating – Future-heating stage 2 national • Bioheat – UWX stage 3 EU Mål 2 North • Converting to biofuels local district-heating • BioDriv X feasibility study on biofuels in Gävleborg • EnergiIntelligent Dalarna regional energy-cooperation • Solar cells and miniwindpower for clusters of buildings • Energy-services Performance Contracting for official and private buildings • Energy-declarations new law for property owners • Energy-education various schools • Co-advertising within the energy-sector Vi i Villa m fl • FEEDU school-project EU-project • Regbie+bioenergy use EU-project

15. Secretariat for Growth Market/ Technique/ Juridical tasks Raw material / Biological manifold Project leader and Project Board Suitable enterprises ”Environment vehicles”/ Infrastructure NEX Local authorities Biofuels • Main tasks and working structure:

16. What will be studied? • Examine the various conditions without influence • from certain conditions or qualifications • Questions are to be answered, for instance: • How great are the potentials of different raw materials within the county but even in the neighbouring areas? • What amounts can we expect from forests, farmlands, peatlands and from organic waste? • What is the state of the art and the forecast on technical solutions for producing biomass-based alternatives to petrol, dieseloil and fossil gas?

17. Continued: What will be studied? • What kinds of biofuels are most desirable, considering existing infra-structure, industries, filling stations etc? • What’s the calculated cost per litre or kWh for producing different volumes of the different biofuels? • Advantages and disadvantages for different biofuels; ethanol, methanol, FT-diesel, DME (di methyl ether), RME (rapeseed methyl ester) and biogas – considering market, production, patents, raw material potential etc?

18. The aim of the feasibility study, • which will run for about one year from the start in May 2006, is • ”the county” will have enough knowledge to be able to choose biofuels that can be produced at one or several places in the county • to find interested and suitable actors, who can be expected to participate in financing, establishing and running at least one biofuel plant in the county

19. The progress of the study – so far • BioDriv X has: • it’s own “News Letter” • established contacts with many interesting experts and organizations • started expert groups in the project • arranged an ethanol study-tour to ”BioFuel Region” • arranged conferences on BioDriv X in the county • produced a report on raw material potential

20. How we use the wood today

21. Potential from the forests

22. Potential from the farmlands • Now: cereals, grazing fields, fallow fields • Then? – cereals, straw, energy crops…

23. Biogas for vehicles in Sweden

24. Potential from the farmlands

25. Potential from the peatlands

26. Potential from the peatlands

27. Potential in Gävleborg • Total annual production: 15,3 TWh (excl peat) • Total annual use: 11,6 TWh (incl peat) • Total annual potential: 4,4 TWh (4,1 + peat) • Annual consumption of petrol+diesel oil in Gävleborg: 2,9 TWh
