Expectations on the role of bioenergy in the renewable energy system and resulting energy and climate system services from bioenergy.

Opportunities for flexible bioenergy. The focus of the graphic is on energy services, visualized by green symbols for industry, transport and building heating. PV and wind power plants are shown symbolically in the top left-hand corner. Sustainable biomass raw materials are shown in the top right-hand corner. The integrated, renewable electricity system, symbolized by a green electricity pylon below the energy service symbols, will mainly serve to distribute PV and wind power and supply electrified industrial, transport and heating sectors in the future. However, the additional arrows are also exciting, on the one hand from the PV and wind power symbols directly to the end consumers via green hydrogen, on the other hand by means of storable biofuels and bioproducts, as well as the possibility of using hydrogen to increase the calorific value of biogenic energy sources, or also to produce hydrogen from biomass. The conversion of biomass into electricity is also possible, but this should be designed as flexibly as possible and the resulting CO2 must be sequestered, stored or used. Three thick arrows on the right-hand side illustrate three opportunities for flexible bioenergy: (1) The integration of a high proportion of PV and wind power into the energy system thanks to flexible balancing of volatilities. (2) The integration of green hydrogen based on the experience of chemical energy sources. (3) Negative CO2 emissions and carbon-neutral products.

Structure and projects in Task 39

IEA Bioenergy Task 39 is structured into three subprograms: Technology and Deployment, System Analysis and Sustainability, and Outreach and Dissemination. During this triennium, six thematic projects are being implemented, as shown in the graphic. The projects and subprograms led by Austria are indicated with the Austrian flag.

CHP biomass gasification facility in Frauenfeld

In Frauenfeld in Switzerland, the biggest SynCraft project was realised. it is 4xCW1800x2-1000 CHP facility, which delivers power and heat for about 8000 households as well as sugar-production factory and Frauenfeld town.

SynCraft - CHP in Ternitz

In September 2019 the construction of CHP facility CW1200-400 was started by company KWS Ökokraft GmbH. Despite Covid-pandemic the facility operation was started in July 2020.

Waste gasification in Lahti

100 kilometers north of Helsinki, Finland, in the city of Lahti, is the world’s first eco-gas fueled power plant. Lahti Energy’s Kymijärvi II power plant runs on SRF.The plant produces 50 MW of electricity and 90 MW of district heat for the city of Lahti. It was officially inaugurated in May of 2012.
