Bioenergy in Germany 2009 – Overview • > 1,200 Biomass heat plants with capacity over 500 kWth • 125,000 pellets heating systems • 40 pellets production facilities (2.3 million tons capacity) • > 200 biomass (heat) plants (> 11.7 TWh in 2008) • 4,000 biogas plants (10.0 TWh in 2008) • 45 biodiesel plants (4.9 million tons capacity) • 9 bio ethanol plants (0.88 million tons capacity) • 11.4 b € turnover • 109,000 employees • 58.4 million tons saved CO2 emissions Source: BBE
Importance of Biomass in Germany – Private Households • Nearly 60% of biomass heat is produced by private households (fireplace, wood stove, pellets heating) • Currently about 25% of German households have small biomass heating systems • That is, 9 million systems with average capacity of 9 kW • They use predominantly split logs or pellets • Wood chips systems have a small share of 0.2% in 2007 • Pellets are widely used: 125,000 in 2009 Source: DCTI
Importance of Biomass in Germany – Industrial Use • Wood fired boilers in 2008: • 120,000 boilers with capacity 15-50 kW • 10,000 boilers with capacity 50-150 kW • 3,000 boilers with capacity to 500 kW • Over 1,100 biomass heating plants in 2008 with capacity to 500 kW • Federal market incentive program (MIP) • Since 2000 promotion of biomass and biogas power plants: • 70,000 small biomass power plants < 100 kW (126.5 m €) • 1,200 biogas power plants • 1,185 biomass heating plants • 60 CHP plants on biomass base Source: DCTI
Economic and Political Reasons for Action Economic Motives: • International competition • Cutting production costs • Saving Energy (costs) • Technological innovation • Investing in new products and industrial processes Political Motives: • EU-Directives (EU-policy) • National legislation • EU-Emission trading system • Tax incentives • Research & Development
Legal Framework for RES Electricity & RES Heat in Germany Legal Framework Electricity production Heat production 1. EEG (2. BiomasseVO) • RES Heat Act (EEWärmeG) • Market incentive program • Government grants
The Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) • Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG): Federal Act • Priority for feed-in (FIT) of renewable energies • Extensive regulation of grid access • Purchase price regulated by law • Tariffs measured according to competitiveness of each technology • Degression measured according to sophistication of each technology Graphic by BSW-Solar
Instruments for the Promotion of RES in the European Electricity Market * Source: BMU, 2010
Legal Framework for RES Heat Production • Renewable Energies Heat Act (EEWärmeG) • Obligation to use renewable energy in new buildings • Market Incentive Program (MIP) • Subsidies for modern ovens for split logs/ pellets and condensing boilers, solar collectors and efficient heat pumps for private households and smaller businesses • Government grants • low interest credits • Amortization allowances
