INEA and the H2020 Low Carbon Energy projects on Bioenergy

Emilio Font de MoraINEA - European Commission

24 September 2015, BrusselsBioenNW final conference

INEA in short

• 1 January 2014 – INEA replaced TEN-T EA (the Trans-European Transport Network Executive Agency)

• €33 billion: largest budget of all EAs for 2014-2020

• Solid experience in programme implementation and project management

LCE-14 Bioenergy Market Uptake

• Market uptake of existing and emerging sustainable bioenergy

• Coordination and Support Actions (CSA)• TRL 7-9

• Similar nature of IEE projects (Intelligent Energy Europe): http://ec.europa.eu/energy/intelligent/

LCE-14 Bioenergy Market Uptake

• Bioenergy4Business - Encourage owners of industrial heating plants in 11 European countries to switch from fossil fuels to biomass boilers that can use industrial waste, agricultural wastes and wood

• BioRES - Set up 6 to 8 new Biomass Trade and Logistic Centres (BTLC) in Bulgaria, Serbia and Slovenia

• BIOSURF - Strengthening cooperation between national biomethane registries, promoting free trade of biomethane, creating a methodology for CO2 certificates

• GreenGain – Biomass waste from landscape conservation and maintenance testing in two pilot regions (in Italy and Spain) from the logistics of collection to storage.

Bin2Grid – Turning unexploited food waste into biomethane supplied through local filling stations network (Jan. 2015- Dec. 2017)

• Main expected impacts:• - Establishment of 4 food waste separate collection systems

involving restaurants and municipal companies• - Stimulation of business agreements for supply chain development

• Budget: EUR 0.7 million• Coordinator: ZCH, Croatia Website: www.bin2grid.eu

Food waste valorisation to biomethane covering all the supply chain from waste collection to fuel distribution in Zagreb (HR), Skopje (MK), Malaga (ES) & Paris (FR)

SECURECHAIN – Securing future-proof environmentally compatible bioenergy chains (Apr. 2015 – Mar. 2018)

• Main expected impacts:• - Providing technical and financial advice to SMEs to set 15-25 bioenergy

supply chains • - 50 business proposals matching 15-20 potential investors per proposition• - At least 15-20 supply chains successfully started by the end of the

project• Budget: EUR 1.8 million• Coordinator: IIWH, Germany Website: www.securechain.eu

Promoting the implementation of Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) practices in 6 EU regions to better integrate local SMEs into biomass supply, processing and bioenergy production

LCE-11 Next generation biofuels

• Developing next generation technologies for biofuels and sustainable alternative fuels

• Research and Innovation Actions (RIA)• TRL 3-4 to 4-5

• Similar nature of FP7 projects: http://ec.europa.eu/research/fp7/index_en.cfm

LCE-11 Next generation biofuels

• ButaNext - Biobutanol production from wood residues and wastes. It will scrutinise the whole production chain, the fuel's performance in engines and the societal impacts related to waste minimisation, environmental emissions and job creation.

• Photofuel - Production of transport fuels created using microbial cells. These cells only require sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to live and excrete hydrocarbon and fuel compounds.

LCE-12 Demonstrating advanced biofuels

• Innovation Actions (IA)• TRL 5-6 to 6-7

• Similar nature of FP7 projects:• http://ec.europa.eu/research/fp7/index_en.cfm

LCE-12 Demonstrating advanced biofuels

• 2G BIOPIC - demonstrating the reliability and sustainability of producing bioethanol from agricultural residues and wood with greater yields, profitability and the ability to use different feedstocks.

• STEELANOL – CO from steel making into bioethanol by means of a microorganism. If successful and fully deployed throughout Europe this technology would produce 25 million tonnes of bioethanol (equivalent to 400,000 million vehicle km).

Other LCE topics

• LCE-2 Developing the next generation technologies of renewable electricity and heating/cooling (RIA)

• LCE-20 The human factor in the energy system (CSA)

Bio-HyPP – Biogas-fired Combined Hybrid Heat and Power Plant (Jun. 2015 – May 2019)

• Main expected impacts:• - An almost double efficiency for micro-scale CHP systems, compared

to state-of-the-art• - Increase grid stability of RES thanks to operational power flexibility

• Budget: EUR 5.8 million• Coordinator: DLR, Germany Website: N.A. yet

Demonstration of the functional capability, characterisation and optimisation of the combination of a micro gas turbine (MGT) and a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC)

BioEnergyTrain (May 2015 – Apr. 2019)

• Main expected impacts:• - Two European Master curricula created: Biorefinery engineer and Value chain

manager• - Provide the basis to graduate the projected 19.000 biorefinery engineers and

16.000 bioresource value chain managers by 2030 as necessary to implement the SET-Plan

• Budget: EUR 3.7 million• Coordinator: ESEIA, Austria Website: N.A. yet

Creation of new post-graduate level curricula in key bioenergy disciplines covering the whole supply chain
