Renewable energy – development and share in energy balances of Central-East EuropeBioenergy perspectives Grzegorz Wiśniewski, Ewa Gańko EC Baltic Renewable Energy Centre – Centre of Excellence
General assumptions of the presentation • Focus on biomass and new Member States • Focus on biomass feedstock, not bioenergy technologies • Focus on enlargement processes- bioenergy challenges and opportunities • Strenth and weekness of bioenergy
Photovoltaics Geothermal Solar thermal collectors Biogas Wind energy Hydropower Residuals from agriculture and forestry Energy crops Background – the role of bioenergy in the EU EU White Paper on RES – Additional contribution of RES, 1998 - 2010 Most of the additional RES contribution (>107 Mtoe) will be supplied by biomass !

Strength of bioenergy • Huge and unexploited bio-resources availability at lower than in EU-15 cost (land and labour) • Current surplus of agricultural production » opportunities for energy crops production • Attractive short term options for heat and CHP production: coal and biomass co-firing • Improvement of policy and legal framework driven by the EU regulations • Strong agriculture and agro-industry lobby
Weaknessfor bioenergy • Infant bio-energy industry; little capacity and experiences with more advanced technologies (for bio-electricity and biofuels) • Fossil fuels still subsidised, overcapacity of the existing power systems; • Risk associated with land competition (food or energy) and uncertain pattern of agricultural production and future food demand (protein diet or vegetarian) • Limited own financial resources and weak technical infrastructure for large scale bio-energy production
Bioenergy after EU enlargement • Cheaper implementation of EU directives on green electricity, biofuels and green heat (?) and Kioto targets • Development of European solid and liquid biofuels market and international trade in the region • Opportunities for bio-energy technologies transfer and innovation • Bio-resources + advanced bio-energy technology = lower energy import dependency, both in NMS and EU15 • Sustainable approach to bio-resources production, both from forestry and agriculture is essential for ACC;

Utilisation of RESin Poland ‘2002 (by EC BREC) *Biomass – 98% of total production of renewable energy (large hydro-electric power plants not included)
Capacity increase of RES in Poland in 1999-2002 Capacity increase in wood-fired installations at small consumers and in industry is unknown.
