Bioenergy village

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A bioenergy village is a village that covers a large part of its electricity and heat requirements using predominantly regionally provided biomass . There are no clear guidelines, but this definition is common:

  • At least as much electricity is generated as the village needs.
  • At least half of the heat is provided, ideally through combined heat and power (CHP).
  • Over 50% of the systems are owned by heat consumers and farmers.
  • The biomass does not come from maize monocultures or from genetically modified plants.

A bioenergy village serves, among other things, climate protection and can strengthen the regional economy. The basis of the energy supply is often a biogas plant or a biomass cogeneration plant , which provide electricity and heat via CHP. Even renewable energy that are not for bioenergy include can be used such. B. photovoltaics , solar thermal and others.

concept

The concept of a bioenergy village depends heavily on the local framework. In agricultural regions, for example, a biogas plant can be used as the central plant of the energy supply concept. Agricultural businesses can provide the required biomass ( substrate ) in the form of silage , manure , liquid manure and other things in sufficient quantities. In forest regions, a biomass cogeneration plant can be more suitable as a central system, since biomass in the form of z. B. can be provided by wood chips . These plants with CHP run continuously and thus always provide a certain amount of electricity and heat. However, the electricity demand of a village fluctuates strongly depending on the time of day, season and other ( load profile ). Since storing electricity on a small scale is very expensive, the electricity is fed into the power grid. The control reserve is thus provided by the electricity grid operators. The Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) guarantees increased remuneration for electricity from biomass for 20 years. Depending on the system concept, this remuneration can be increased by certain bonuses. The heat demand of a village fluctuates even more than the electricity demand. In the summer, only a small amount of heat is generated from the local heating network for heating domestic water , while the need for heating buildings increases many times over in winter. If the central CHP system were dimensioned accordingly, a large part of the inevitably generated heat would remain unused in summer. Therefore, boilers such as B. Wood chip heating systems installed that are only in operation in winter. For the most extreme load peaks on cold winter days, an inexpensive heating oil or rapeseed methyl ester boiler can also be installed so that heat consumers no longer have to have their own heating.

Projects

To date (2015) a number of bioenergy villages have been implemented in 175 projects. Some are detailed below:

Bonndorf

"Bonndorf West"

Bonndorf, a small town in the Black Forest with 6,800 inhabitants, is to be completely supplied with local heating in three construction phases. The first construction phase "Bonndorf West" has been completed since 2014. About 150 buildings are supplied via an 8 km long local heating network, in summer with industrial waste heat and in winter with additional heat from woodchip boilers. There is a 50,000 liter buffer storage tank in the boiler house. An oil boiler is provided as redundancy.

The second construction phase “Bonndorf Mitte” has been completed since autumn 2015. 122 buildings are supplied year-round with industrial waste heat from Hans Adler OHG via a 6.5 km long local heating network.

Breitenbrunn

The small village (approx. 350 inhabitants, district of Nürnberger Land, Bavaria) has decided to use the heat from wood chips for heating. The residents set up the lines and the boiler house with two wood chip boilers with a nominal output of 300 and 400 kW, respectively, at great expense. The foundation stone of the heating plant was laid on August 6, 2010, and the heating network was put into operation on December 23, 2010. A connection to the heating system was not mandatory but was largely set up by the population. Almost every house in the wooded area can be supplied with bioenergy from the area. There is no explicit cogeneration of heat and power.

Büsingen

Büsinger heating center with tube collectors

Büsingen am Hochrhein is a German exclave which, surrounded by Swiss territory, belongs to the district of Constance , but does not receive any German EEG subsidies in the customs union with Switzerland. The town with around 1350 inhabitants was nevertheless named a bioenergy village in 2013. Its local heating network draws its heat from a wood chip heating center (1.4 MW) and instead of a biogas system from a large-scale solar thermal system with tube collectors. Its more than 1000 square meter collector surface at a price of 420,000 euros delivers around 550,000 kWh annually, covers the entire hot water requirement in summer and replaces around 800 cubic meters of wood chips every year. The system also includes two buffer storage tanks with a capacity of 50 cubic meters each and an oil boiler with an output of 730 kW that can be switched on for peak loads or maintenance work. Büsingen serves as a pilot project for the SOLNET.BW research program to launch solar heating networks in Baden-Württemberg. Solarcomplex AG was awarded the Georg Salvamoser Prize 2014 for this project.

Effelter

The village of Effelter with 280 inhabitants is located at an altitude of 600 meters in the Franconian Forest Nature Park . For him, therefore, particularly strict criteria apply in terms of sustainable raw material extraction. The starting point for the expansion into a bioenergy village was an agricultural biogas plant. With strong civic engagement, a 2.4 km long local heating network and a wood chip heating plant that can be activated according to current needs were built. These communal systems are supplemented by small private wood firing systems. Most of the systems have been in operation since the beginning of 2010. The use of sustainably produced raw materials is one of the main concerns, so in the small biogas plant (twice 65 kW) no maize is used, but primarily grass silage from the surrounding highlands, cattle manure and low-quality feed grain. Only wood from the local area is advertised for the wood chip heating plant, the ashes are returned to the forest as fertilizer.

Systems / technology

  • Biogas plant with 2 CHP units of 65 kW each (grass silage, cattle manure, grain)
  • Wood chip heating 500 kW
  • Local heating network 2.4 km
  • Photovoltaic systems 325 kWp
  • 60 m² private solar systems for hot water preparation
  • Hydroelectric 3 kW

Effelter's sustainable energy supply concept has already received several awards, such as B. with the Bioenergiedörfer 2010 award from the Federal Ministry for Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection or the Bavarian State Medal for Services to the Environment .

Emmingen

The Emmingen heating network has been in operation since autumn 2013. Emmingen-Liptingen has about 4545 inhabitants, 145 buildings in the district of Emmingen are connected to the local heating network. The project differs in several respects from the previous heating networks, which were implemented by solarcomplex AG. For the first time, the waste heat from two biogas plants is integrated into the network, the CHP (combined heat and power) share in the network is well over 60%. For the first time, a large heat storage system with around 1,000 cubic meters is being used to make optimal use of the waste heat from the CHP unit. In addition, “modern wood energy” is used in the tried and tested combination for winter heating needs. The two biogas plants use the waste heat from their combined heat and power (CHP) units to provide the useful heat for the local heating network. The first CHP has an output of 360 kWtherm. The second CHP, together with the long-term heat storage, provides over 1000 kW of thermal output. A wood chip boiler with 450 kWtherm is located in the heating center. Output as well as for peak load boilers with available 1300kWtherm. Performance ready. There is also another buffer tank with 22 m³. Using the waste heat from the biogas CHP and the wood chip heating system saves around 1,200 t of CO 2 . Overall, this results in a CO 2 saving of around 4,800 t annually.

Freiamt

The 4300-inhabitant community Freiamt in the Black Forest uses almost the entire spectrum of renewable energies for self-sufficiency with electricity and heat. Solar systems, wind and water mills as well as a biogas plant produce 14.3 million kWh of electricity per year, of which 1.5 million kWh are not required and are fed into the grid. Around 160 solar collectors are used for hot water preparation. Wood chip and pellet heating as well as biogas are also used for heating.

Gussing

The town of Güssing , with a population of 3,764, is Austria's biomass center. The 100 percent phase-out of fossil fuels, decided by the city council in 1990, was implemented in less than 15 years. A fifth of the wood growth in the Güssing district of 100,000 tons per year was used to generate heat and electricity until the biomass power plant had to cease operations in 2016 for economic reasons. The biomass district heating plant covers 85% of the city's total annual heating requirements.

Grosselfingen

The bioenergy village Grosselfingen has been in operation since autumn 2008. The CHP waste heat (5 million kWh thermal annually) from the local biogas plant supplies around 100 buildings with heat via an approximately 6 km long local heating network. The waste heat is temporarily stored in a 100,000 liter buffer tank. An oil boiler with 900 kW is available for peak loads. In addition to the ecological advantages, the project also has a high regional economic value: the energy costs no longer flow, but remain on site as purchasing power. The community of Grosselfingen (district of Zollernalbkreis) is 520 meters above sea level and has around 2,100 inhabitants.

Hilzingen

Hilzingen is a municipality with 8 districts in western Hegau. A heating network with a length of 4.6 km and 34 connected buildings was installed there as early as 2008. As part of a public tender, the heating network was transferred to solarcomplex AG in 2015. The heat is provided by a 500 kWel waste heat CHP, which is fed by the waste heat from the local biogas plant. At peak load times, this is supported by two gas boilers with 450 kW and 250 kW respectively. Decentralized buffer storage at the consumers ensure that any differences are protected.

Early

Biogas plant in Jühnde near Göttingen

The first bioenergy village in Germany was Jühnde (1089 inhabitants) in the district of Göttingen . In a project by the Interdisciplinary Center for Sustainable Development (IZNE) at the University of Göttingen , the goal of covering the entire energy requirement with renewable energy sources was successfully implemented in January 2006. In addition to covering the heating needs of households, the location generates significantly more electricity than it consumes itself. A biogas plant with 700 kW el generates around 5 million kWh of electricity annually, which is more than double the demand in Jühnde. A wood heating plant operated with wood chips can provide 550 kW th and a peak load oil boiler 1.6 MW th . A total of around 3.2 million kWh of heat is sold per year. The biogas plant requires 9,000 m 3 of liquid manure and 15,000 t of biomass annually as a substrate , which is produced on an area of ​​320 ha. Around 1000 cubic meters of wood chips are burned annually.

It is estimated that the participating households save € 750 per year in energy costs after deducting the costs thanks to the cooperative- operated systems in Jühnde and that the village generates income of over € 680,000 per year from energy generation from biomass.

Lautenbach

Bioenergy village Lautenbach

Lautenbach (Sigmaringen district) is a district of the Herdwangen-Schönach community, which is twelve kilometers north of Lake Constance, on a ridge in the Upper Linzgau, between the towns of Pfullendorf in the north and Überlingen in the south. Lautenbach covers its electricity and heat requirements entirely from domestic renewable energies. Lautenbach has been able to call itself a bioenergy village since the end of 2010. Houses, workshops, a greenhouse, a school and a kindergarten are connected by a 1.8 km long local heating pipe. A pilot jet CHP (200 kW thermal / 250 kW electrical), two woodchipping boilers (450 kW thermal each) and an oil boiler with an output of 730 kW thermal are used as reliable heat generators. The buffer tank has a capacity of 30,000 liters. By feeding in the electricity from the biogas plant, approx. 1,200 t CO 2 are saved annually compared to the German electricity mix . Using the waste heat from the biogas CHP and the wood chip heating system saves approx. 800 t CO 2 . Solar power generation saves another 240 t. Over the next 20 years that will total over 40,000 tonnes, a notable contribution to climate protection.

Lippertsreute

Bioenergy village Lippertsreute

The municipality of Lippertsreute is part of the city of Überlingen, located in the hinterland of Lake Constance. Lippertsreute includes the village of Ernatsreute, the hamlet of Wackenhausen, the Bruckfelder Mühle and other striking individual farms; the municipal area covers approx. 684 ha. Since 2008, Lippertsreute has been able to call itself the second bioenergy village in Baden-Württemberg. Around 60 buildings are connected to the 4 km long local heating network. Since the connectees include the large heat consumers in particular, significantly more than half of the heat requirement in the village is provided from local bioenergy. All communal buildings (Luibrechthalle and school, town hall and kindergarten) as well as the church and rectory were connected to the local heating network. This saves 1620 tons of CO 2 every year . For the energy supply there is a CHP with 180 kW thermal and 150 kW electrical in the heating center. Performance provided. In addition, there are two 300 kW thermal wood chip boilers and a heat recovery system, which provides waste heat from an apple cold store. A 14,000 liter buffer tank complements the system.

Wolpertshausen

Wolpertshausen near Schwäbisch Hall (Baden-Württemberg) with 1,800 inhabitants is supplied to 50 percent from renewable energies (2006). The ecological residential area Wolpertshausen is completely supplied by local heating or a biogas community system (commissioning: 1996).

Planned projects

District of Göttingen

Following the example of the first German bioenergy village Jühnde, further bioenergy villages are to be built in the Göttingen area. Feasibility studies have been carried out for seven villages in the Göttingen district since mid-2007 . The projects Bioenergy Village Reiffenhausen and Bioenergy Village Wollbrandshausen-Krebeck have been in implementation since June and August 2009 respectively.

Martinshöhe

The local community Martinshöhe (about 1700 inhabitants) in the community of Bruchmühlbach-Miesau , located in the western Palatinate, plans to become a bioenergy village. The feasibility study presented in February demonstrated the profitability of the project with a connection of 70% of all buildings. The construction of a biogas plant (250 kW) to cover the base load and the construction of a wood chip furnace with a peak load boiler are planned. The total heat requirement is 5 MW.

Grimburg

The local community of Grimburg becomes the first bioenergy village in Rhineland-Palatinate. With the help of the investor Pfalzwerke AG , the 180 households in Grimburg are given the opportunity to cover their heat supply via a local heating network, which is supplied by the cogeneration unit of a biogas plant, as part of the 4 million euro project. Only renewable raw materials are used.

Neckargemünd (Weststadt)

In the Weststadt district of Neckargemünd, plans are underway for the construction of a heating plant based on wood chips. The BEST project - Bioenergiestadtteil Neckargemünd Weststadt is to be organized on a cooperative basis and to supply private households and large local consumers with heating.

Consideration

See also : Article "Bioenergy", section Evaluation of bioenergies .

Bioenergy villages have special advantages and disadvantages, in addition to the general ones of bioenergies:

advantages

  • Greater independence from conventional energy suppliers and rising prices for electricity, natural gas, crude oil, etc. The expenditure for energy remains largely in the region and does not flow abroad.
  • Financial income: The municipality or a local public utility can generate income and profits by operating its own facilities. In the case of public facilities, the residents benefit directly; for facilities operated by commercial investors, the municipality can expect trade taxes.
  • Local employment: Installation, maintenance and operation of renewable energy systems often mean jobs for local companies such as B. craftsmen, service technicians or raw material suppliers.
  • Image gain: Renewable energies stand for a modern, progressive energy supply. Competitions like the " Solarbundesliga " show the innovative spirit of municipalities.
  • Many municipalities use their commitment in the field of renewable energies as a tourist magnet. The bioenergy village of Jühnde in Lower Saxony or the Morbach energy landscape in Rhineland-Palatinate, for example, attract a large number of people who want to get an idea of ​​how a community can make itself energy self-sufficient.
  • New perspectives for the region: Since renewable energy projects are often implemented in rural regions, the resulting economic dynamism also means that young people are seeing more prospects locally and the rural exodus is decreasing.
  • Planning sovereignty: Municipalities have central planning sovereignty, particularly for photovoltaic ground-mounted systems. You determine the scope of implementation.

disadvantage

  • First of all, high investments are necessary that will only pay for themselves after several years.
  • The concept only works if a significant proportion of the residents participate and can be connected to the local heating network.
  • Some bioenergy technologies can only be operated in an economically profitable manner with state funding (e.g. through the Renewable Energy Sources Act).
