  1. WP 3: Excel GHG calculation tool for electricity and heat from biomass Susanne Köppen, Horst Fehrenbach, Anna Hennecke IFEU Kick-off meeting, Brussels May 14-15, 2012

  2. WP 3: Part I – Description of WP Susanne Köppen, Horst Fehrenbach, Anna Hennecke IFEU Kick-off meeting, Brussels May 14-15, 2012

  3. Role of WP 3 Kick-off meeting Brussels May 14-15, 2012

  4. Work Package description • Partners involved: ALL • Objectives: • Develop an Excel tool for the life-cycle GHG calculation of biomass-to-electricity and / or biomass-to-heat production • Develop a harmonised list of conversion factors (“standard values”) in combination with clear rules on when additional / alternative factors can be used • Write a user manual Kick-off meeting Brussels May 14-15, 2012

  5. Tasks Task 3.1 Template for Excel tool Task 3.2 Excel tool (v1) & list of standard values Task 3.3 Decide on contents of v2 of tool Task 3.4 Excel tool (v2) Task 3.5 User manual Task 3.6 Excel tool (final v3) Kick-off meeting Brussels May 14-15, 2012

  6. Schedule D3.1 (v1) O3.2 O3.1 O3.3 D3.2 (v2) D3.3 D3.3 D3.4 (v3)

  7. Task 3.1 Template for Excel tool • GHG calculation for heat and electricity slightly different from GHG calculations for biofuels  an agreement on template is needed • Rough outline was prepared by IFEU and ANL before the KOM • Will be discussed in detail after coffee break • Time schedule and partner involvement: Kick-off meeting Brussels May 14-15, 2012

  8. Task 3.2 Tool v1 & Standard values • Preparation of draft Version 1 (D3.1) of the Excel tool by IFEU and ANL • Approximately 30 biomass production pathways (as listed in COM(2010)11) • IFEU: 2/3; ANL: 1/3 (to be decided) • Draft list of standard values • delivered by LBST (subcontracted by IFEU) • Version 1 is input for • first policy maker workshop (Task 4.2), • first round of feedback session (Task 5.1), • first two public workshops (Task 5.3). Kick-off meeting Brussels May 14-15, 2012

  9. Task 3.2 Tool v1 & Standard values (ctd.) • Time schedule and partner involvement Kick-off meeting Brussels May 14-15, 2012

  10. Task 3.3 Decide on content of v2 • Evaluation of comments and recommendations made in policy maker workshop, national follow-up meetings, feedback sessions and processing into tool • Technical meeting for agreement on modifications or additions • Adding of bioliquid pathways (from updating of BioGrace I tool) • Partners involved: • IFEU / ANL: proposal of additions to tool, organisation of technical meeting • All: Discussion of content / participation at technical meeting Kick-off meeting Brussels May 14-15, 2012

  11. Task 3.4 Excel tool (version 2) • Preparation of tool version 2 (D3.2) based on decisions taken in task 3.3 • Version 2 is input for • Second & third policy maker workshops (tasks 4.3 & 4.4) • Second round of feedback sessions (task 5.2) • Last public workshop (task 5.3) • Partners involved: • IFEU / ANL: preparation of version 2 • BIO IS: check of calculations, expert input • All: report on errors and improvements of user-friendliness Kick-off meeting Brussels May 14-15, 2012

  12. Task 3.5 User manual • For better understanding the calculations and providing guidance for users of tool • First version prepared in M20; further update in M28 after second round of feedbacks (D3.3) • Partners involved: • BIO IS: preparation of user manual • IFEU / ANL: give input, proof-read • All: comments on draft final Kick-off meeting Brussels May 14-15, 2012

  13. Task 3.6 Excel tool (final v3) • Improvements and additions made to the tool based on outcomes from policy maker workshop and feedback sessions (D3.4) • Partners involved: • IFEU / ANL: preparation of final tool version • BIO IS: check calculations • All: report on errors and improvements of user-friendliness Kick-off meeting Brussels May 14-15, 2012

  14. More questions? Kick-off meeting Brussels May 14-15, 2012

  15. Coffee break! Kick-off meeting Brussels May 14-15, 2012

  16. WP 3: Part II – Discussion of template Susanne Köppen, Horst Fehrenbach, Anna Hennecke IFEU Kick-off meeting, Brussels May 14-15, 2012

  17. What is new compared to BioGrace I? • Basis: COM (2010)11 • Final energy is not the final fuel (as for biofuels) but electricity, heat and cooling Conversion efficiencies play an important role • Functional unit: g CO2eq per MJ of final energy commodity • Combinations are possible between electricity, heat and cold production • Annex I requires that default value is divided by actual energy conversion efficiency value of installation (default values provided in report are per MJ energy carrier) Kick-off meeting Brussels May 14-15, 2012

  18. Possible combinations • Electricity production • Heat production • Cold production • Combined electricity and heat production (CHP): • Electricity is main product, heat output is converted into electricity • Heat is main product, electricity output is converted into heat Kick-off meeting Brussels May 14-15, 2012

  19. Chain integration Allocation if there are co-products COM(2010)11 scope RED scope Electricity Biomassproduction Biomassprocessing Conversion to E/H/C Heat Cooling aggregation to one value to compare against one comparator

  20. Possible combinations • Combination electr./cooling or heat/cooling not covered by point 1b, 15 (COM(2010) Annex 1  EITHER: can‘t be applied in combination  OR: needs additional rules for combination

  21. The BioGrace II tool • Suggestion: start from existing BioGrace I file • Introductory sheets: About, Directory • Standard values, user defined standard values • One calculation sheet per biomass-to-electricity / heat pathway • Separate sheets for LUC, N2O emissions • Layout needs to be adapted (colour scheme) to prevent confusion with biofuel tool (will be done by BE2020) Kick-off meeting Brussels May 14-15, 2012

  22. Adaptations in the BioGrace II tool • Removal of disaggregated default values and the “A” / “D” choices • Not sure whether disaggregated default values can be used • Option 1: Disaggregated default values might be introduced by Commission if sustainability indicators become mandatory • Option 2: If indicators are not mandatory, policy makers in target countries might disaggregated default values • Suggestion: no final decision possible at the moment; template will be adjusted subject to the respective decision Kick-off meeting Brussels May 14-15, 2012

  23. Adaptations in the BioGrace II tool • Calculations for electricity and heat are not additive but alternative • Do we want to present both results? • Does it make sense to present both? • How / where should the Carnot factor be included (together with allocation factor or separately)? • Where should the production efficiencies be included by the user? • Should cooling be included in the tool? • COM(2010) provides comparators for separate electricity, heat and cold production, however, no procedure on how to combine electricity and cold production Kick-off meeting Brussels May 14-15, 2012
