The Export Initiative “renewables Made in Germany”

The Renewable Energy Export Initiative

Launched by the German Parliament in 2002 and operated by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology

Main objectives:

to contribute to climate protection,

to stimulate the acceptance of renewable energy in other countries,

to showcase Germany’s technical and business expertise in the field of renewable energy,

to provide comprehensive support to SMEs as they tap foreign markets.

Business information & contact events

Bioenergy in Germany 2009 – Overview

> 1,200 Biomass heat plants with capacity over 500 kW th

125,000 pellets heating systems 40 pellets production facilities (2.3 million tons capacity) > 200 biomass (heat) plants (> 11.7 TWh in 2008) 4,000 biogas plants (10.0 TWh in 2008) 45 biodiesel plants (4.9 million tons capacity) 9 bio ethanol plants (0.88 million tons capacity) 11.4 b € turnover 109,000 employees 58.4 million tons saved CO2 emissions

Importance of Biomass in Germany – Private Households

Nearly 60% of biomass heat is produced by private households (fireplace, wood stove, pellets heating)

Currently about 25% of German households have small biomass heating systems

That is, 9 million systems with average capacity of 9 kW They use predominantly split logs or pellets Wood chips systems have a small share of 0.2% in 2007 Pellets are widely used: 125,000 in 2009

Importance of Biomass in Germany – Industrial Use

Wood fired boilers in 2008: 120,000 boilers with capacity 15-50 kW 10,000 boilers with capacity 50-150 kW 3,000 boilers with capacity to 500 kW

Over 1,100 biomass heating plants in 2008 with capacity to 500 kW

Federal market incentive program (MIP) Since 2000 promotion of biomass and biogas power plants: 70,000 small biomass power plants < 100 kW (126.5 m €) 1,200 biogas power plants 1,185 biomass heating plants 60 CHP plants on biomass base
