Bioenergy and rural development- examples from Sweden
EUROPEAN COUNTRYSIDE MOVEMENT SEMINARBioenergies and rural areas : what about multifunctionality ?
Brussels – 7 December 2007
Ingrid Rydberg Federation of Swedish [email protected]
LRF - Federation of Swedish FarmersFor those who own and manage agricultural land
and forestry
• 170 000 individual farmers and forestry owners
• 33 co-operatives and farmer owned companies
• Influencing policies• Creating attraction for the ”green sector”• Business development • Creating forums, networks and contact points
• Co-operation with politicians and authorities
• Consumer and producer perspective• Proactive instead of reactive• Dialogue with society
LRFs approach – cooperation and dialogue
LRF:s offer to the Swedish government
• Energy from the green sector can create 25 000 new jobs and reduce green house gas effects.
• Investments in food production can create 10 000 new jobs and a vivid and biodiverse countryside and landscape
Sweden: 40- 45% renewable energy
Final energy use (403 TWh), based on energy carriers (2006) Source: Swedish Energy Agency
Bioenergy has replaced oil and coal in the heating sector
Energy input to district heating, 1970-2005 Source: Swedish Energy Agency
4% biofuels in Swedish transport
Ethanol E 5 low blended
Ethanol E 95 for diesel buses
Ethanol E85 for flex cars
Biodiesel B2-B5 low blended

Ethanol from grain
Agroetanol in Norrköping
Production:- Ethanol 55 000 m3 2007, 210 000 m3 2009
for low blend (E5) and flexfuel cars (E85)
- Protein feed (DDGS)
Rawmaterials:Grain from set a side and energy crop premium land
Wheat, barley and tricitale
Ownerskip.: Lantmännen (Farmers Coop)
The Lantmännen Agroetanol process:CHP integration and full use of by-products
Energy balance 1:5
Climate gas reduction 80%
District heating from bioenergy – three levels
Östanå
Production: 1 GWh heat(50 homes)
Ownership: 2 farmers
Fuel: Grain or wood pellets
Heats: One school, community meeting point, a few house blocks and private houses. Has replaced several oil boilers
Ena EnergiProduction: Heat: 200 GWh Power: 100 GWh 1/3 Electricity2/3 heatingOwnership: Enköping municipality
Fuel: woodchips, wood powder and salix chip (20%)Heats: A whole city. Added benefit: Cleans sewage water
Molkom
Production: 10 GWh heat(500 homes)
Ownership: 7 farmers
Fuel: Wood chips and reed canary grass
Heats: A few schools and old people’s home, a business center, private houses

Energy input only 5% of total energy content(Cereals for ethanol 10%)
Biogas for transport-cities city and countryside together
Växtkraft in Västerås
Production :- 25 GWh biogas (2500 m3 diesel equivalent)
- Biofertilizer for organic farming (certified by KRAV)
- Drives 60 buses (aiming for 80 = 100%)
Raw material: Grass 1/3 and household waste 2/3
Ownership: 17 farmers 20 %, Federation of Swedish Farmers 20%, Municipality owned companies 60%
Projekt: Finansed by the EU + national aid.
Policy measures needed to increase bioenergy production and rural development
• The Cohesion policy and the Structural funds should be used to develop the European energy systems
• Increase common EU support on R&D - not at least to find holistic solutions, i.e. link energy production to distribution and final use
• Remove EU obstacles that hinder national bioenergy support measures
• Develop EU strategy on national economic measures to support bioenergy
• ’Balanced approach’ necessary on EU biofuel trade policy
• Develop global criteria/certification on sustainable biofuel production
• Improve the overall business environment for small and medium sized enterprises
