EBA’s activities
The key voice for biogas in EuropeInternational nonprofit organisationMembers: national biogas organisations + NGO‘s + companiesWellestablished network and communication platformfor exchanging information and expertise in biogasMain activities:1. Representation of the industry’s interests in relation to EU legislation/regulations/strategies/forward planning (NREAP’s, Energy Europe 2050, Energy taxation, Brussels office)2. Cooperation with other European organisations (like AEBIOM, p p g ( ,EREF, NGVA – Future Transport Fuels)3. Participation in EU projects (BiogasIN, GGG)4. Processing and dissemination of information (database, conference, broschure, news letters, country profiles, etc.)

Biogas industry in Europe
• 10,94M tons oil equivalent (toe) biogas production in 2010 (~ 13,2 billion m3 natural gas ~ 458 PJ)billion m natural gas, ~ 458 PJ)
• 60,9% produced in Germany• Average:
26,2 m3 CH4/citizen (with DE),12,2 m3 CH4/citizen (without DE)
• > 9.000 biogas plants• 4.025 MWel capacity• 30 340 GWh electricity generation• 30.340 GWh electricity generation
from biogas in 2010

Biomethane production in Europe
• ~ 200 producing unit
• Biomethane production in 14 countries
• Grid injection:
AT,CH,DE,ES,FI,FR,LU,NL,NR,UK
• Transportation fuel use:
AT,CH,DE,DK,FI,HU,IS,NR,SE
• Limitation on grid injection for biomethane produced from biomethane produced from
landfill and sewage gas in
several countries
(e.g. AT, FR, DE, CH)

Biomethane
• Upgrading biogas to bioCH4 -multiply use, including motor fuel use of natural gas distribution and storage systemnew geographical and commercial dimensions possibility of cross-border transactions
• Support (FIT, tax benefits, investment subsidies) needed
• Feed-in- tariff for biomethane grid injectionUK 0 82 EUR/ 3 t f l ( t 250 kW)UK: ~ 0,82 EUR/m3 on top of gas value (up to 250 kW)FR: 0,64–0,95 EUR/m3 (up to 350 m3/hour)
27th June 2012
Value of biomethane
• Value of biomethane: physical (in use) value + intrinsic („bio”) value
• Intrinsic value: „green”, renewable, sustainable • The physical flow does not carry the intrinsic value • Condition for biomethane production:
intrinsic value realised on the market
• Who would pay a price above physical value?
a) Endusers receiving state support
b) Individual customers with highly developed
environmental awareness and/or strong „green”
image considerations.

Present status of biomethane market
• Cross border biomethane trade - sporadic, bilateral,limited (DE>SE, DE>NL, DE>CH)
• No real European BioCH4 market today Biomethane registries • Biomethane registries
- DE: Biogasregister- DK: Energinet- NL: Vertogas- UK: Green Gas Certification Scheme
• DE and NL negotiating to connect the registries • „Naturemade biomethane” – label in CH„Naturemade biomethane label in CH• Biogasrat (Germany) - „EU-Regist” concept• Green Gas Grids project - roadmap to create a Europe-wide
biomethane trade scheme
27th June 2012
Biomethane registries
• Independent, neutral organisations
• Established through voluntary cooperation of market players
• Track, confirm and document the biomethane transactions along the contractual chain
• Administrative support in meeting regulative requirements
• Independent audit controls
• Assisting trade development through building market confidence
• Guarantee of Origing
• Guarantee of Sustainability
• Issued documents are not trade-able certificates
