  2. Production of energy from the biomass-an option for the sustainable development of industrial land Energy from the biomass

  3. Main idea of the project • Creating an integral system of renewable energy production comprising 2 main elements: • Pellets production line (production capacity: 1 t/h) • Plantation of an energy plant – a hollyhock species Sida hermaphrodita as a source of biomass for pellets production • within the industrial area Energy from the biomass

  4. Project developer Limited partnership founded for the purpose of the project: • SEGI-AT Sp. z o. o. (Ltd.) • KGHM Polska S.A. • Other investors Energy from the biomass

  5. Shareholders Energy from the biomass

  6. Location of the project • South-western Poland • community Rudna with a deteriorating agriculture and industrial areas • High unemployment rate: ca. 20% • Protective area around copper works and the flotation waste reservoir (ca. 14 km2) Energy from the biomass

  7. Plantation of Sida hermaphrodita (1) • size: 300 ha (ca. 25.000 plants per ha) • very high annual yields (up to > 20 t dry biomass/ha) • low climate and soil requirements • suitable for industrial land • easy in cultivation, traditional methods • low moisture content in the biomass (25%) • good parameters as a fuel (comparable with wood) Energy from the biomass

  8. Unique annual productivity - compared with Salix Energy from the biomass

  9. Plantation of Sida hermaphrodita (2) • harvesting: December – March • stored in the open air • easily cut into pieces • raw material for pellets production in form of chips • cost of dry biomass production: 25 EUR/t Energy from the biomass

  10. Sida hermaphrodita – anenergy plant Energy from the biomass

  11. Plantation of Sida hermaphroditaSpring Autumn Energy from the biomass

  12. Pelleting plant (1) • Placed in the vicinity of the plantation within the existing infrastructure • Production capacity: 1 t/h • Expected annual output: 6000 t pellets • Energy consumption: 600 MWh/year • Energy output from the produced pellets • ca. 30.000 MWh/year (=108.000 GJ/year) Energy from the biomass

  13. Pellets production line Energy from the biomass

  14. Pelleting plant (2) • Consists of 3 main elements: • a dryer • hammer mill • pellet mill • Raw material supply for pellets production: • In the initial stage: waste wood from the wood industry • In the long run (after 2-3 years` operation): biomass of Sida hermaphrodita Energy from the biomass

  15. High density pellets – environmentally friendly solid bio-fuel, very comfortable in use for both households and industrial plants Energy from the biomass

  16. Product characteristics • diameter: 6-8 mm • length: 2-3 cm • density: 1,15 kg/m3 • calorific value: 18 MJ/kg • low ash content (0,5% - 1%) • without binding agents • high grade of homogeneity Energy from the biomass

  17. Financial details (1) • Total cost of the investment: 1 mln EUR over 2 years (2005-2006) • Pellet production plant: 650.000 EUR • Plantation: 350.000 EUR • Initial capital of a new SEGI-KGHM partnership: 670.000 EUR • Grant in frames of EU structural funds and PHARE Programme Energy from the biomass

  18. Financial details (2) • Annual operating costs: 330.000 EUR • Annual revenues from pellets sales: 480.000 EUR (80 EUR/t) • Annual operating profit: 150.000 EUR Energy from the biomass

  19. Prospects for the future • EU target: 12% energy from RES by 2010 • Polish Strategy for Development of Renewable Energy Sources sets following targets: • 7,5% energy from RES by 2010 • 14% energy from RES by 2020 • Biomass = over 90% RES in Poland Energy from the biomass

  20. Comparison of different energy generation systems in family houses Energy from the biomass

  21. Risks • Grant for the project not awarded RE: search for additional investors • Incompetitiveness of bio-fuel on the Polish market RE: focus on foreign markets, search for pellets consumers • Lower than expected productivity of Sida hermaphrodita plantation RE: supplementing Sida biomass with waste wood or other energy plants Energy from the biomass

  22. Future developments (1) • Establishing a network of local pelleting plants (1-2 t/h) combined with a system of Sida hermaphrodita plantations • Pellets for the individual use (family houses) • Segi-KGHM partnership as a pilot project • model system for the production of renewable energy from the biomass • Searching for investors for projects based on a similar scenario Energy from the biomass

  23. Future developments (2) • In the long run: developing pellet market • Modernisation of small district heating systems (power of several MW) as well as heating plants (200 kW - 1 MW) in industrial plants and public utilities (schools, hospitals etc.) • Package offer: heating plant for pellets + continuous supply of fuel • Looking for partners offering technologies of pellets’ combustion to apply in such heating plants Energy from the biomass

  24. Questions ??? Energy from the biomass
