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

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

Subsidy scheme 2008 (2)

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

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
