Biomethane - a truly sustainable biofuel for transport

•
•

1) Göteborg Energi is a municipal energy provider serving approximately 300,000 customers in Göteborg, Sweden. It aims to actively contribute to the development of a sustainable society through initiatives like increasing renewable energy and reducing emissions. 2) The document discusses the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and switch to renewable energy sources to limit global temperature increase due to climate change. It cites scientific projections of the consequences of different levels of atmospheric CO2 concentrations. 3) Göteborg Energi has invested in multiple biogas projects, including an upgraded biogas facility, a pilot gasification project, and plans for a commercial-scale gasification plant called GoBiGas. The goal is to develop sustainable fuel

The pressing need for change. Taken from ”Six degrees” by Mark Lynas 800 ppm Allow increased emissions 5,1 – 5,8 ºC End of almost all life on the planet 650 ppm No peak in emissions 4,1 – 5,0 ºC Risk for emissions of methane hydrate from the sea 550 ppm Global emissions peak 2050 3,1 – 4,0 ºC Risk for feedback from Siberian methane 450 ppm Global emissions peak 2030 2,1 – 3,0 ºC Risk for carbon cycle feedback 400 ppm Global emissions peak 2015 1,1 – 2,0 ºC 350 ppm (today’s level is 380 ppm) Probably not possible to aviod 0,1 – 1,0 ºC CO 2 target Change needed Degrees change

We’ve been “thinking big” from the start. Production of 60 GWh/a upgraded Biogas injected into the Natural Gas Grid. Chemical adsorption technology with very low methane slip (<0,1%). Investment: € 4 million Supported by Swedish KLIMP-programme and BiogasMax In cooperation with City of Göteborg and the WWTP. In operation since April 2007.

19

Falköping – the beginning of a new concept Biogas produced using sewage sludge and household waste. Upgraded at new plant to vehicle quality and piped to local filling station. Raw gas pipes laid next to clean gas pipes. Upgrading raw gas from manure and other agri-waste in the near future. Supported by Swedish KLIMP-programme and BiogasMax.

The BiG project Biogas in Göteborg

21

130 km Utilising waste from ethanol production and other food production Producing 30 GWh/a of upgraded biogas, possibly LBG using cryogenic technology Investment: € 7 million In cooperation with the Municipality of Lidköping and Swedish Biogas International In operation mid-2010 Biogas in Lidköping Our first cryogenic plant?

22

Pilot: Gasification of biomass at Chalmers University of Technology Built to further develop indirect gasification and grow local expertise for future projects Large potential for commercialisation, can be added onto any Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) furnace Currently producing 2 MW of ”green gas” now being utilised in existing boiler Development of methanation technology would allow for local production of biomethane for e.g. vehicle fuel Gasifier Biogas Biomass Fuel Heat

23

GoBiGas Go thenburg Bi omass Gas ification Project Gasification of biomass and production of biomethane Commercial scale – approximately 100 MW gas - with the potential of producing 800 biomethane GWh per year High-calorific gas (SNG) by methanation for distribution in the existing gas grid Also possible to use the gas as fuel in Rya CHP-plant Situated in the harbour of Gothenburg with the potential to transport fuel by boat or train

24

P erformance goals Biomass to gas efficiency 60-70 % Energy efficiency 90% Operation 8000 h/ year

25

Cooperation with E.on E.ON will support the GoBiGas project with a share of 20% E.ON will be a active partner in the project E.ON, Göteborg Energi and possible other partners will put up a company witch will build and run the GoBiGas plant.

News from Sweden VINNOVA (The Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems) recently published a report that compared the climate efficiency of different investments in the transport sector. Investments in the biogas sector, incl. production, distribution and usage, were by far the most efficient among the compared alternatives. Biogas investment were ten to one hundred-fold more economically efficient that other alternatives when it comes to reducing CO2-emissions. The Swedish Government has proposed € 20 million for 30% investment support for farm-based biogas production based on manure. Volvo to resume bi-fuel production?
