  1. Renewable Energies in Germany János Büchner, energiewaechter GmbH Consultant to the Initiative “renewables – made in Germany” of the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi) Serbian-German Conference & Trade Mission on Geothermal Energy, Belgrade, 25. September 2012 www.renewables-made-in-germany.com www.exportinitiative.bmwi.de

  2. Content • The Initiative renewables – made in Germany • Political developments and framework for REs in Germany • Market development of REs in Germany and economic effects • Geothermal Energy and Heat Pumps in Germany • Presentation of German Company representatives

  3. The Initiative renewables – made in Germany

  4. Goals of the Initiative renewables – made in Germany • Scheme coordinated and financed by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology • Contribution to global climate protection through support of advanced RE-technologies • Contribution to international knowledge transfer through patents and joint ventures • Support of German SMEs entering foreign RE markets

  5. The Initiative renewables – made in Germany on the Web www.renewables-made-in-germany.com • Info on upcomingevents: Businesstrips, tradefairs, informationtrips forforeigndecisionmakersto Germany • Information on German companies and institutions • Information on actualmarket developments www.renewablesb2b.com • Virtual Market Place; B2Bplatform

  6. RE development in Germany and economic effects

  7. Germany’s Energy Turnaround in 2011 Fukushima led to Germany’s energy turnaround by cabinet decision in June 2011: • Nuclear power phase out until 2022… …while keeping the aim to • reduce GHG-emissionsuntil 2020 by 40% and until 2050 by 80% (compared to 1990) • Increase share of Renewables to 35% of electricity consumption by 2020, by 2030 to 50%, 2040 to 65%, 2050 to 80% • Increase final energy consumption shareof REs to 18% in 2020, 45% in 2040 Positive effects • Cutting dependency on fuel imports • Creation of jobs in a future market / employment in the RE sector

  8. Main Instrument to Promote REs (ELECTRICITY production) • Act on Granting Priority to Renewable Energy Sources (EEG) • Fixed Feed-In tariffs (FITs) over 20 years guaranteed by law for RES system operators • Grid operators are obligedto connect RES systems to the grid and to buy the electricity from the system operators to set prices • Tariffs vary according to the source of energy, e.g. biomass, PV, geothermal energy etc. • Amendments to the EEG at regular intervals in order to adjust the act to current development of markets and (competitiveness of) technologies • Example: FITs for geothermal electricityproductionincreased 2012. Dependingon technologyupto23, 25 oreven 30 ct/kWh (e.g. petrothermalprojects) . Grossproductionfactored(incl. ownenergyconsumption of pumpsetc.) FITs for Photovoltaics - in contrast - decreased

  9. Main Instruments to Promote REs (HEAT production) • Renewable Energies Heat Act (EEWärmeG) • Minimum shareof heatingenergysupplyfromREsfor newbuildingsusuallyobligatory • Obligationsdepending on thetechnology/iesused(e.g. biomass and heatpumps: 50%, solar thermal 15%) • Market Incentive Program for Renewable Energies (Marktanreizprogramm / Federal Environment Ministry) • Financial contributions / beneficialloans for certainREsinvestments • LoansbyKfWBankengruppe (KfW Group) - National business development bank: • subsidisedloans for energy-efficienthousing and RES

  10. Germany’s Energy Turnaround today Act on Granting Priority to Renewable Energy Sources remains major instrument to boost Res Challenges: • R&D promotion for energy storage technologies • Increase of energy saving and efficiency • Speed-up grid expansion

  11. Development of RES in Germany- some figures

  13. Share of Renewables in EnergyConsumption1998-2011 ELECTRICITY 2011 roughly20% but some 50% of energy consumption through HEAT production Credits: German Renewable Energies Agency

  14. EnergyUseof PRIVATE Households in Germany Accordingto Area ofApplication Source: ArbeitsgemeinschaftEnergiebilanzen provided by BMWi

  15. Development of RES Share in Reference to HeatProduction Source: Federal MinistryofEnvironment 2012

  17. Federal Government‘sTargets • Some figures: private households consume 30% of final energy consumption. Almost 90% used for heating purposes. • Almost 1/3 of the GHG-emissions are due to buildings • 2011 4,3 % of the national heat consumption was supplied by shallow geothermal energy. • Heat supply share of REs planned to reach 14% by 2020 • Potential: 261 bl. kWh, actually 6 bl. kWh installed. • Forecast: 2015 almost 1 m, and 2020 1.8 m heat pumps installed Picture: Bundesverband Wärmepumpe
