WP 3: Part II – Discussion of template Susanne Köppen, Horst Fehrenbach, Anna Hennecke IFEU Kick-off meeting, Brussels May 14 -15, 2012

What is new compared to Bio. Grace I? · Basis: COM (2010)11 · Final energy is not the final fuel (as for biofuels) but electricity, heat and cooling Conversion efficiencies play an important role · Functional unit: g CO 2 eq per MJ of final energy commodity · Combinations are possible between electricity, heat and cold production · Annex I requires that default value is divided by actual energy conversion efficiency value of installation (default values provided in report are per MJ energy carrier) Slide 17 Kick-off meeting Brussels May 14 -15, 2012

Possible combinations · Electricity production · Heat production · Cold production · Combined electricity and heat production (CHP): - Electricity is main product, heat output is converted into electricity - Heat is main product, electricity output is converted into heat Slide 18 Kick-off meeting Brussels May 14 -15, 2012

Chain integration COM(2010)11 scope RED scope Biomass production Biomass processing Conversion to E/H/C Electricity Heat Cooling Allocation if there are co-products aggregation to one value to compare against one comparator

Possible combinations · Combination electr. /cooling or heat/cooling not covered by point 1 b, 15 (COM(2010) Annex 1 EITHER: can‘t be applied in combination OR: needs additional rules for combination

The Bio. Grace II tool · Suggestion: start from existing Bio. Grace I file - Introductory sheets: About, Directory - Standard values, user defined standard values - One calculation sheet per biomass-to-electricity / heat pathway - Separate sheets for LUC, N 2 O emissions · Layout needs to be adapted (colour scheme) to prevent confusion with biofuel tool (will be done by BE 2020) Slide 21 Kick-off meeting Brussels May 14 -15, 2012

Adaptations in the Bio. Grace II tool · Removal of disaggregated default values and the “A” / “D” choices - Not sure whether disaggregated default values can be used - Option 1: Disaggregated default values might be introduced by Commission if sustainability indicators become mandatory - Option 2: If indicators are not mandatory, policy makers in target countries might disaggregated default values - Suggestion: no final decision possible at the moment; template will be adjusted subject to the respective decision Slide 22 Kick-off meeting Brussels May 14 -15, 2012

Adaptations in the Bio. Grace II tool · Calculations for electricity and heat are not additive but alternative - Do we want to present both results? - Does it make sense to present both? · How / where should the Carnot factor be included (together with allocation factor or separately)? · Where should the production efficiencies be included by the user? · Should cooling be included in the tool? - COM(2010) provides comparators for separate electricity, heat and cold production, however, no procedure on how to combine electricity and cold production Slide 23 Kick-off meeting Brussels May 14 -15, 2012
