BIOSURF Project Work Package 3 Biomethane Trade Kick-off meeting 26/Feb/2015

Biomethane trade The functions of cross-border trade: a) balancing supply and demand on regional and European level (beyond national borders) b) enabling production at places/regions with the highest comparable advantage Kick-off meeting 26/Feb/2015

Challenges of biomethane trade 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 sustainable biomethane production: intrinsic value must be realised on the market at level needed to secure cost recovery Conditions for biomethane export/import: The „bio” quality must be certified in the producing country The „bio” qualification from the producing country must be acknowledged in the consuming country The mass-balancing requirement must be met Double-counting must be excluded Kick-off meeting 26/Feb/2015

The arts of biomethane trade Kick-off meeting 26/Feb/2015

WP3 – Key objectives 1. Support the establishment of National biomethane registries in European biomethane producing countries 2. Connection/cooperation/harmonization among national registries - compatibility of individual registries to be addressed at early stage 3. Common criteria/attributes applied by all participating registries for mutual acceptance of Guarantees of Origin 4. Proposal directed at the EU Commission for declaring the interlinked EEA natural gas network as a single, closed mass balance unit 5. European Biomethane Certificate trading scheme 6. Support biomethane standardization Kick-off meeting 26/Feb/2015

National biomethane registries Independent, neutral, professional organisations Established through government actions or 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 Guarantees of Origin Guarantees of Sustainability BUT: the issued documents are not trade-able certificates Kick-off meeting 26/Feb/2015

Biomethane registries AT: Biomethan Register Austria CH: VSG (Federation of Swiss Gas Industry) DE: Biogasregister DK: Energinet FI: Gasum R: Gaz Réseau Distribution NL: Vertogas UK: Green Gas Certification Scheme Biomethane Certification Scheme Kick-off meeting 26/Feb/2015

International coordination The cooperation is aimed at creating compatibility among the individual registries with regard to cross-border transactions; A transparent, reliable and efficient system of information transfer across the national borders will be established; Common criteria/attributes accepted and applied by all participating registries will be worked out for mutual acceptance of GoO’s; The ”European Biomethane Guarantee of Origin” will contain all information needed for qualifying the imported biomethane as „green” – but will not be traded independently from the physical product; The collaboration will be based on mutually acceptance of the principal requirements both for mass balancing and exclusion of double counting. Kick-off meeting 26/Feb/2015

Vision Kick-off meeting 26/Feb/2015 By 2030 the European biogas industry will produce as much “green gas” (biomethane produced by upgrading of biogas and SYNGAS) as “green electricity” and by using the European natural gas distribution network it will be available for consumers all over Europe for generating electricity, heating/ cooling and motor fuel applications.

Mission Kick-off meeting 26/Feb/2015 In billion m 3 of biomethane should be produced in Europe, what will correspond to about 3% of the present natural gas consumption of the European Union. The biomethane production will achieve different levels in the European countries (due to different local conditions) but the consumption could be evenly spread all over Europe, especially in the transportation sector. Biomethane trade should be developed to enable harmonising production and consumption on European level.

Milestones in the Roadmap Kick-off meeting 26/Feb/2015

Suggested Action Plan Items Kick-off meeting 26/Feb/ National biomethane registries 2. Cooperation/coordination among the registries 3. Coordination with all major stakeholders 4. European NG network as single mass-balance system 5. European electronic biomethane platform 6. CNG/LNG infrastructure 7. Sustainability/Life Cycle Assessment 8. Reducing GHG emissions at biomethane production 9. Research and development of technologies 10. Technical standards for biomethane 11. Public awareness/acceptance

Biomethane trade in Europe – the way forward 1. National registries in every biomethane producing country 2. Connection/cooperation/harmonisation among national registries - compatibility of individual registries to be addressed at early stage 3. Common criteria/attributes applied by all participating registries for mutual acceptance of Guarantees of Origin 4. The collaboration should be based on mutually acceptance of the principal requirement for mass balancing 5. Proposal directed at the EU Commission for declaring the interlinked EEA natural gas network as a single mass balance system Kick-off meeting 26/Feb/2015
