REGIO EUROPEAN COMMISSION Regulations & guidelines Community
Strategic Guidelines 2007-2013: Supporting the development and use
of renewables and alternative technologies (such as wind, solar,
biomass), including for heating and cooling Ensuring full
exploitation of European Strengths in the area of eco-innocation.
Eco- innovations should be promoted

REGIO EUROPEAN COMMISSION Innovation in Cohesion Policy Innovation
is a key focus of Cohesion Policy: 85 billion allocated to
Innovation R&D projects on eco-innovation, especially support
to SMEs Early stage in 2007-2013 Innovation projects (including on
bioenergy)

REGIO EUROPEAN COMMISSION Armagh Biomass Gasification Biomass from
short- rotation coppice willow on marginal land. CHP Plant
equivalent to a 54 MW power station. Energy efficiency = 70%.
Heating and hot water for Blackwater Valley Museum + electricity
for 400 households. Total cost = 280.000 ( 190,000 Interreg)
- Slide 15
- DG REGIO Unit "Thematic Development" EUROPEAN COMMISSION DG
REGIO EUROPEAN COMMISSION Armagh Biomass Project Results
Alternative farm income (winter crop) and rural employment
opportunities. Renewable energy contracts = 15 years stable market
Saved! 1,700 t CO2/a 12 t NOx/a 0.2 t SO2/a

REGIO EUROPEAN COMMISSION Bioenergy Technology Transfer Network
Applied R&D in the fields of biofuel production, refining and
combustion. International Training Programme Use of Wood Fuel for
Heat Production Regional bioenergy strategies and development
plans. Total cost = 1,310,000 ( 895,000 ERDF)

REGIO EUROPEAN COMMISSION Austria mainstreaming environment &
energy in Cohesion Policy Programs Austrias focus on Environment in
ERDF 2000-06 = 4 million t/CO2 saved = 29.3M ERDF Funds = 244M
Investments = 2.600 new jobs Biomass district heating = priority in
the agricultural program = 17M ERDF + National Funds

REGIO EUROPEAN COMMISSION Aim = reduce air pollution & improve
local environment Solar and Biomass Power Thermal Power Station -
60.000 MWh/a of heat and 7.200 MWh/a of electricity from biomass.
Lienz Energy Projects District Heating Network 57 km insulated
pipes serving 950 buildings Total cost = 23.1M
