How and Why A Natural Gas Utility in Denmark is Now Denmark’s Largest Producer of Biogas

2008:
Time has run out for Naturgas Fyn. Customers choose alternatives to natural gas. As a consequence the company now has a deficit of 80 million DKK a year.
2008:
DONG ENERGY: We will run out of gas in 6 years
2010:
Denmark to be fossil free in 2050

A green future for the Danish gas grid

How do we produce biomethane?
7
The Biogas plant is converting the carbons
from waste to methane for green energy purposes
Environmentallyharmful methane and
dinitrogen oxideevaporation is removed
from the farmland
The biogas is displacing fossil fuels in the industry, CHP’s,
house heating and transport
Vigtige næringsstoffer (fx fosfor og svovl) føres tilbage til jorden. Bedre nedsivning. Mindre lugt. Høstudbytte stiger med op til
10 pct.

What is the future for biomethane in Denmark?
17
A week in February 2017
A week in June 2017
18
Denmark has two gas storages that are 85.000 times larger thanthe Tesla battery in South Australia
19
400.000 homes in Denmark are provided with gas
20
More than 144.000 jobs in Denmark depend on gas
21
The futureAnd necessary commercial developments
22
Investment Consortium has not bought the Funen Nature Energy to let it go. Up to ten new biogas plants will be built in the coming years, and the new owners are
ready to invest up to 2.5 billion DKK.
Energy company sold for 1.1 billion. kr. New owner want to create more than 1300 new jobs

Necessary Commercial Developments• Making Biomethane a sustainable product in the
minds of consumers• Reducing GHG intensities• Reducing methane emissions• Increasing transparency on climate and
environment effects• Develop Sustainable uses of biomethane
• Plastics & Polymers• Develop a biomethane pathway for the long term
supply of hydrocarbons• In a zero emission economy we may still rely
heavily on hydrocarbons• Develop products and marketsrelated to biomethane
business• Organic Sulphuric Acid• Organic Retail Fertilizer products
25
Necessary Commercial Developments• Cost must come down in investment
• More than 15% of investment does not create anyenergy
• Energy consumtion must come down• 50% of own energy consumption does not create
any energy• Reliability must come up
• More than 50% of current shutdowns/Reductionsare caused by faulty upgrade facilities
• Robustness must come up• Facilities should be better able to handle different
input streams and their effects on raw biogas
26
Necessary Commercial Developments• Develop Co-production
• CO2 production• Feed production as part of upgrade process• Methanisation as part of upgrading facilities• Protein Feed from Grasses or algae fed by raw
biogas streams• Customized longer chain hydrocarbons can be
produced from mix of CO2 and methane
