“Biogas as fuel option”
“Biogas as fuel option” Biovakka Suomi Oy – to build, own and operate biogas plants in a profitable way Harri Hagman, CEO Biovakka Oy Biovakka Suomi Oy Biovakka Jämsä Oy ”Future fuels for engine power plants”, seminar Nov. 22nd 2011 © Biovakka Suomi Oy 2011 I Harri Hagman BIOGAS Biogas – it´s all about Methane CH4 (60-65 %) and Carbon Dioxide CO2 (35-40 %) Source: Wikipedia 2 THE CONCEPT Biovakka's today's operating concept – environmental effects 1. Emissions reduction from manure handling and plant decomposition 2. Fossil fuel (oil, coal, gas) substitution and emission reduction Energy crops Farming • manure • plant biomass Biogasprocess Biodegradable waste • industry • society 3. Reduce emissions from waste handling © Biovakka Suomi Oy 2011 I Harri Hagman Natural gas grid Transportation fuel Biogas Field Rotted material Electricity Heat • Nutrients • Organic material 4. Recycling of organic material and reduced emissions MPP The choice of raw materials is significant in the Bio-Gas process Material Methane (CH4 ) production potential l CH4/kg organic material Meat packing waste m³ CH4/ton (wet weight) 570 150 Biowaste 500-600 100-150 Field biomass 300-500 30-150 Waste water sludge 200-400 5-12 Pig manure 300-400 17-22 Cow manure 100-250 7-14 Lähde: Lehtomäki ym. 2007 1 m³ methane ~ 1 litre light fuel oil ~ 10 kWh © Copyright Biovakka Suomi Oy I 2011 4 COMPANY IN BRIEF Biovakka´s target is to grow as a nationwide company in processing biowaste and producing biogas and recycled nutrients Biovakka´s mission is Topinoja biogas plant to process organic raw materials (biowaste) – such as wastewater sludge and by-products from industry – and to produce both biogas and recycled nutrients. Company has plans to build and operate more biogas and biomass plants in Finland. Biovakka´s Turku plant © Biovakka Suomi Oy 2011 I Harri Hagman 5 BIVAKKA`S PLANTS IN FINLAND Biovakka has been operating biogas plants since 2005 Vehmaa biogas plant Biovakka´s first plant in Vehmaa •Built in 2005 •Processes by-products of agriculture and communities •Process capacity of 120.000 tons/a •Output of 4 MW •Biogas is converted to electricity Topinoja biogas plant Turku Topinoja´s biogas plant • • • • • Began operations in January 2009 Processes wastewater sludge of the community Process capacity of 120.000 tons/a Output of 4 MW Biogas generates electricity and heat for the district heating line for the population © Biovakka Suomi Oy 2011 I Harri Hagman 6 BUSINESS MODEL Biovakka´s Business Model: Turnover comes nowadays from gate fees and it will increase by selling biogas. Recycled Nutrients are company´s future possibilities.

Bio-gas 2. Fischer-Tropsch-biofuels (not yet avaliable) 3. 33. Rape seed oil 4. Biodiesel 5. Bioetanol Lähde: FNR: Fachagentur Nachwachsende Rohstoffe, Biokfrafstoffe: Pflanzen, Rohstoffe, Produkte, 2007. Turning the production waste into Bio-gas increases distance / production hectare by about 50% with other fuels Let´s build a cleaner environment for the future generations © Copyright Biovakka Suomi Oy 2010 Harri Hagman CEO Biovakka Oy Biovakka Suomi Oy Biovakka Jämsä Oy Miestentie 1, 02150 Espoo +358 50 542 7777 harri.hagman@biovakka.fi www.biovakka.fi
