WHY? Regional (Bio)energy Programme

1) Environmental and energy issues- Global warming, energy security…

2) EU’s goalsBiomass Action Plan (7.12.2005):69 milj. tn 150 milj. tn in 2010

EU meeting 8-9.3.2007 Goals for the Year 2020Renewable energy share: 20 % !Biofuels in transportation: 10 % (5.75 % in 2010)

3) National and regional programmesSeveral prepared / under preparation

EU Biomass Action Plan recommendation

A tool for setting concrete regional goals and the corresponding actions

Bioenergy Programme Background:

3rd BIOENERGY PROGRAMME IN NORTH KARELIA

• First version 1998, • Updated 2001

6

Importance of Bioenergy Development in NK

• Bioenergy has been recognised as one of the key regional development sector

• Bioenergy has been mentioned as one of the most promising future cluster in NORTH KARELIA DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME 2010 (= POKAT 2010)

• North Karelia BP 2015 is a TOOL to carry out a POKAT 2010 programme in bioenergy sector

The Key Expertise in North Karelia

• Energy technology: Production and refining of biofuels

– Forest technology, forest machines, wood procurement and logistics• John Deere Forestry, Kesla, Mantsinen, Pentin Paja, Antti Ranta,

VAPO…

– Heat retaining fireplaces• Tulikivi, Nunnauuni, Vuoleri

• Housing Cluster: Energy systems in housing

• Forest Industry Future: Tailored fibre supply

– Forest technology…– Forest inventory, forest management systems, biomass production• Composites: together with Nanotechnology and Housing Clusters

• Strong plastic industry

• Packaging/ printable optics and electronics: Nanotechnology cluster

11

General Goals

1. Improved energy efficiency- Consumption per capita 4 % lower in 2015

2. Higher share of renewables- Share up to 85 % in heat and power production and to 77% of total energy

3. More sources- forest, agrofuels, waste…

4. More export, more refined fuels- More green electricity, pellets, commercial

firewood, biodiesel and CO2 credits…

5. Less oil - 70% reduction in heat and power and

over 40% reduction in total energy- traffic biggest challenge

Spesific Goals:

1) Forest Industry by-products

Bark and sawdust (1850 GWh):

2010:More to pellet production?

2015:

Biodiesel?

Enocell black liquor (2800 GWh):One fourth of total energy,and over half of wood energy

A SUSTAINABLE ENERGY PRODUCTION:

13

2) Forest chips Thinnings Logging residues Stumps In 2010: 750 GWh (375 000 m³)?• In 2015: 950 GWh – 1 300 GWh?

• In 2015: 860 GWh (now 770 GWh) Increased biomass production a new goal for

silviculture Energy wood market development Chips substituting oil in farms Firewood trade development

3) Firewood and pellets

14

4) Agro biomasses Goal for production in 2015: 9 000 ha

5) Biogas Until 2015:

• Two large plant investments• 6–12 farms• Biogas for transportation starts• Production of electricity also in farm scale

6) Energy peat Local fuel, classified as slowly renewable Heat, power, liquid biofuels(?) In 2015 peat for heat and power 430-700 GWh/y 250 MW biodiesel capacity = about 2000 GWh/y

15

7) Households GOALS:

energy efficiency!

less oil and electricity for heating

lower CO2 emmisssions in transportation

ACTIONS:

From oil to pellets in house heating

• micro grids and hybrid heating systems• subsidies for investments

Education / consultation system (also for farms and SME’s) More energy efficient buildings and energy systems

16

8) 2. Generation biodiesel: FT synthesis

Goal in Biodiesel Scenario: 250 MW:n gasification capacity for liquid biofuel production in 2015 Technology still in development phase: A pilot plant in Varkaus Pilot plant produces:

• Raw material for dieselin raaka-aineeksi • Heat and electricity• One plant 200 000 tn / y OR

2-3 smaller plants?

17

Global leader in production and procurement of energy wood: doubling the R&D resources until 2015 Global (nitche) status in biodiesel research: a public/private research unit Wood energy expertise into global consulting and education services Applied research on peat production and its’ environmental impacts

Export of forest energy technology 8-fold until 2015 (140 milj €/y) Fireplaces: 70 % growth until 2015 (100 milj. € /y) Bioenergy business models Increasing the volume and geographical scope of technology transfer projects

B STRENGTHENING EXPERTISE

C TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY AND KNOW-HOW

18

1. Technology transfer process

2. Energy consultancy system for households and SMEs

3. Infrastructure for large-scale biofuel production

4. Development of technology and methods for energy wood procurement and logistics

5. High-value biofuel production

6. Production and commercialisation of bioenergy technology and business models

7. Promotion of investments in bioenergy production

Key areas 2007–2010

19

Future of the Regional Feasibility Programmes in Finland?

• Essential, useful tool in meeting the Kyoto targets in regional and national level

• EU white book recommendation: National Bioenergy programme

• All active regions in energy technology will have a regional plan within 1-2 years (covering about half of Finland)

• Key challenge: How to produce accurate statistical information to monitor the development in energy sector in regional level?

FUTURE…

• Next step will be to go from programme level to practical level (from strategic level to business)

• We have just established a forest and energy group in North Karelia

• And in this work we will need a good co-operation as BBN and good networks in european and global level

• THANK YOU FOR YOU ATTENTION!
