  1. Netherlands Bio-Energy Association “Puts energy into biomass” May 2008

  2. Content About bio-energy About NL-BEA Bio-energy in the Netherlands: Past and present Bio-energy in the Netherlands: Future

  3. Photovoltaics Geothermal Solar thermal collectors Biogas Wind energy Hydropower Residuals from agriculture and forestry Energy crops ‘About’ bio-energy: ‘essentials’ Why bio-energy? Growth 1995 - 2010 primarily biomass (EU-figures)

  4. ‘About’ NL-BEA: the chain of representation Biomass Conversion Renewable Energy Suppliers of hardware, Oil- and gas companies Utilities Suppliers of biomass And: Knowledge institutes, Project-developers, Financing companies

  5. The Mission “NL-BEA strives for a maximised application of all forms of bio-energy, in a social responsible way.” NL-BEA represents the whole Dutch bio-energy chain towards government(s), press and society

  6. Organisation: board • Chair: • Dick Tommel (former vice-minister of department of Environment, former Member of Parliament) • Board: • H. Brink (LTO Nederland), W. Hermans (BioOne Group), A. van Dongen (Nuon), J. Manders (AVR), M. Arninkhof (Raedthuys Groep), E. Pfeiffer (KEMA), R. Venendaal (BTG) • Office: • R. Kalf

  9. Bio-energy in the Netherlands Past and present • Targets: • 14 % renewable energy in 2020 (EU target) • 20 % renewable energy in 2020 (national target) • 10 % biofuels in 2020 (EU target) • Subsidy schemes have changed quiet a lot: • Demand-side (tax) until mid 2003: • Huge growth of buyers of green electricity, to some 3 million customers • Supply side (‘feed-in’) since mid 2003 • Several changes even stops since, leading to decreasing investors confidence • New subsidy system started April 2008

  10. Subsidy scheme 2008 (1) • Higher subsidy for small scale (< 2 MWe) under discussion • Criteria for sustainability of biomass; no liquid biomass in subsidy system • Tender system: first in • Contract period 12 years

  11. Subsidy scheme 2008 (2) (source: SenterNovem)

  12. Past and present Production of total electricity consumption (source: SenterNovem)

  13. Past and present, biomass overall (source: SenterNovem)

  14. Past and present, co-combustion • Main fuels: • wood pellets/chips, biomass pellets, agricultural residues, rest products food industry  focus on “clean biomass” because of • acceptance and severe emission demands (source: SenterNovem)

  15. Past and present, waste incineration • Some 11 Waste incineration plants: 50% renewable (source: SenterNovem)

  16. Projects and initiatives < 10 MWe, status 2007 Number of installations • Gasification 2 • Combustion 15 • Digestion 64 • Total capacity • 2006 46 MWe • 2007 66 MWe

  17. Projects and initiatives 10–50 MWe, status 2007 • 4 stand-alone bioenergy combustion installations under construction/in start-up phase (total approx. 80 MWe) • 4 stand-alone initiatives in permitting trajectory (total approx. 200 MWe)

  18. Bio-energy in the Netherlands Future (1) • ‘Hot topics’ at the moment, preventing further development of bio-energy: • Getting (IPPC-proof, emissions) permits • Financial investment security • Sustainability of biomass • Heat utilisation • Co-combustion in coal-fired power plants is stagnating, even declining (lack of subsidy, sustainability) • Several new lines for waste incineration – however getting little financial support

  19. Future, cont’d • New plants go on stream; 4 larger (demolition wood, chicken litter, bio-oil) and several smaller scale plants • Biofuels have started • EU-directive, • obligation • Several plants in preparation • Depending on subsidy system, anaerobic digestion (agriculture) will grow further • Stimulation of Green Gas opens window to new applications • Bio-energy is likely to broaden; other industries are getting involved: like Cargill, Bavaria and Corus

  20. Future, cont’d • Availability of biomass

  21. Future, cont’d Specials / discussions: • Greenpeace: 1000 MW (4x 250MW), possible • Maasvlakte, multifuel gasifier (Shell technology), able to produce fuels as well as directly energy • Nuon: 1200 MW multifuel gasifier, announced, to be built in 2011
