  1. Present status and futureprojectsofbiomethane in Sweden (Scandinavia) Anders Mathiasson, Malmö 2016-05-12 Senior advisor Swedish Gas Association

  2. Sweden – a small gas user in comparison • Limited pipeline infrastructure for gas. • Small user of gas: 10,0 TWh natural gas (>500 TWh) 1,8 TWh biogas/ biomethane • Developing infrastructure for bio methane, CNG, LNG and LBG • Growing interest for gas in shipping and industry sector. EUROGAS ”Vehicle gas” = bio methane and natural gas Bio methane = upgraded biogas LNG = Liquefied Natural gas (cooled and compressed) LBG = Liquefied Biogas (cooled and compressed)

  3. Synergyeffects– natural gas and biomethane • Injectionof biomethane into the gas gridsinceseveralyears. • Standard for biomethane in vehiclefuel. • ”Green gas” concept makes it possibleto swap natural gas and biomethane. • Manylocalgrids in swedish citys Biomethane and natural gas in Sweden

  4. Industry Biogas Heat Fuel Naturalgas The green gas concept • Same idea as green electricity. • Allows end consumer to order 100 per cent biogas. • Distributer balance input and consumption in the grid. • New tax legislation from 2011 makes it possible to use the green gas concept across differents grids. • Possibletodevelop on a Europeanscale? Biomethane and natural gas in Sweden

  5. Production and utilisation of biogas in Sweden • 1,8 TWh biogas 2014 • “National goal” 2030: 15 TWh biogas* *digestion + gasification • Today: 2 % of the Swedish fuel market • By 2030: Upto 25 % - possiblewith the right policy instrument

  6. GoBiGas – Gothenburg Biomass Gasification • Gasification of biofuels and waste from forestry – oneof the firstlarger plants for gasification in the world. • Inaugurated spring 2014, distributes gas to the grid. • Phase 1 (demonstration): 20 MW, 150 GWh. Fuel for upto 15 000 cars. • Phase 2 (commercial): 80 MW, 650 GWh. Fuel for upto 100 000 cars. • EU-support: 59 million euro (NER300). • Crucial for developmentof biogas/biomethane potential. Biomethane and natural gas in Sweden

  7. Gas in transport – stateof play • About 50 000 vehicles: • Over 44 000 LDV’s (less than 1% of total). • Over 2300 busses (15% of total). • 800 HDV’s (over 1% of total). • Onevesselrun on LNG: • Viking Grace bunker LNG in Stockholm. • About 12 moreplanned 2016-2018. • Over 220 filling stations: • About 220 filling stations for CNG. • 6 filling stations for LNG and liquefied biomethane. • Locatedmainly in Central and Southern Sweden. • CNG and biomethane – 2% offuelused: • 10% biofuelsoffuelused – biodiesels (65%), ethanol (25%) and biomethane (10%). • Twice as much CNG/CBG is sold, compared to E85. Present situation and plans for CNG and LNG in Sweden

  8. Growingdemand for biomethane Natural gas Biomethane Total sold vehicle gas Source: SCB

  9. Gas buses in Sweden Places with gas buses 2014 Biomethane and natural gas in Sweden

  10. LNG but now also LBG – fuel for the heavy transports • Same technology • Creates larger markets. • Both Volvo and Scania in Sweden • Can be used in different engines:- Diesel engines- Otto engines • - Gas hybrid engines in busses Biomethane and natural gas in Sweden

  11. Filling stations - LNG/LBG for trucks • Six stations • An additional will be opened during 2014 • Part of the EU-Project, LNG Blue Corridors Renewablecontent upto 50 % Based on massbalance/Green gas principle Biomethane and natural gas in Sweden

  12. Swedish incentives for ”greener transports” • Tax exemption for bio methane: Ends 2020 • Reduction of tax (40 %) for use of a company gas vehicle Ends 2019. • Zero vehicle tax for “greener cars” for the first five years • Incentives for “innovative” biogas technique • Climate Investment Programmes - grants for local long-term investments that reduce greenhouse gas emissions • Public procurement may favor gas for transport • CNG taxis are given priority at Arlanda Stockholm Airport • A quota system and a bonus-malus system under discussion

  13. BUT, the market is stagnating… • Uncertainty about the regulations for biogas production. Problem with the EU-legislation (state aid, ILUC, ……) • Skepticism among investors • Not the same focus on biogas from the politicians • “Electricity is the solution everywhere” • Biodiesel is coming very strong in Sweden • BUT, we are waiting for the truck market and industry could be an interesting new market Biomethane and natural gas in Sweden

  14. ….and the future? • Stand-by position for the moment • Still uncertainty about the long term regulations • Will gasification develop? • Will LBG develop? • Will rotational crops be a possibility? • BUT, the other countries in Scandinavia is offensive!! Biomethane and natural gas in Sweden

  15. Biogas in Denmark • Green growth agreement 2009 • 50% manure in biogas in 2020 (now: 7 %) • 20% investment grant (increased to 30% in 2012) • Energy agreement in march 2012: Feed in tarifs • Improved: electricity from 79 to 115 DKK/GJ • New: biomethane in grid: 115 DKK/GJ (56€/MWh) • New: transport and industry: 75 DKK/GJ (37€/MWh) • Ressource strategy 2013 • 50 % of householdwastereused in 2023 • Organicfractions from waste • From incineration to biogas • Up from 18 % to 60 % in 2018 (retailers, canteens etc.)

  16. Increasingproduction New and coming (Since 2014) Total biogas 2012: 4,1 PJ 2013: 4,6 PJ 2014: 5,5 PJ + 12% + 34% 2012 Industrial Sewage Agricultural Landfill

  17. Also in Norway biogas is growing Presentationens namn, version etc

  19. Biogas production from waste raw material in Gasum • MÄKIKYLÄ, KOUVOLA • 2011 • SUOMENOJA, ESPOO • 2012 • KUJALA, LAHTI • 2014 • 50 GWh/a • 24 GWh/a • 7 GWh/a • HONKAJOKI, HUITTINEN, KUOPIO, OULU • 2016 • TURKU, VEHMAA • 2016 • 9+(1)biogas plants • over 320 GWh/a 470 000 t/a • 180 GWh/a • 60 GWh/a UPCOMING PLANT IN RIIHIMÄKI(facilitywillbeoperational in 2016, connected to thegrid) 50 GWh/a Gasum

  21. Substrates for biogas production • Sludge from wastewater treatment • Industrial organic waste products (dairy, slaughter house etc.) • Organic household waste – fast growing – national target 40% by 2018 • Manure • Crops, sugar beets (very small part) • Landfill • Forest residues

  22. Swedish Gas Association unites - 190 members • Natural gas / LNG • Biogas / LBG • LPG, Propane • Vehicle gas • Hydrogen Råvaraindustri
