Welcome To Bioenergy 2009The strong policy for increasing renewables and especially bioenergy continues in the European Union. The Communication COM(2006)848 presents a renewable energy roadmap for the year 2020, proposing a mandatory target of 20% renewable energy in gross inland energy consumption, and a mandatory target of 10% transportation biofuels, to be coupled with national action plans. It also includes a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions (from their 1990 level) by 20% in 2020 and a 20% reduction in energy use by 2020. The climate change and numerous environmental aspects and reasons are backgrounds for the decisions. Not only ecological points, but also political and economical reasons will carry these plans and targets forward. The Union’s common target 20 % is very challenge and there is set mandatory targets for the member countries. Finland’s target is to increase the use of renewables by 9,5 % units to totally 38 %. A remarkable portion of the target will be reached by forest fuels. Environmentally friendly, safe and secure bioenergy together with modern bioenergy technologies and know-how are the driving forces for increasing the utilisation.

The 4th International Bioenergy 2009 Conference will take place in Jyväskylä, in the heart of bioenergy - in Finland and in Central Finland. Finland is one of today’s top users of bioenergy among all industrial states. Biomass use accounts for over 25 % of the total primary energy consumption and 20 % of the electricity requirements are met by using bioenergy (the highest in the EU). The share of bioenergy is in Central Finland over 50 % and the target is 70 % 2015.One of the worlds biggest Biopower plant is under construction with a fuel input capacity of 500 MW. Here you can see more bioenergy harvesting systems and different scale of power and heating plants in a day than in a week somewhere else. The Conference will focus on the factors affecting the future of the bioenergy, biopower, biofuels in transport and biobased modern technologies and products, including logistic systems, management, total procurement chains, the effects of the energy market, the influence of green marketing and other trends affecting forestry, agriculture, industry and climate.

In the Conference and on the Study Tours you will get updated and concrete knowledge about the modern biomass-based power, heating and CHP plants and technologies from farm scale up to the world’s biggest construction. Practical fuel procurement systems, energy technologies, logistics, know-how and experiences, international training possibilities, combustion and harvesting systems and R&D results are presented.

The International Conference is not only an excellent highway and opportunity into the modern sustainable bioenergy business in Finland. Also tens of oral presentations from all over the Europe and modern forest machine fleets are presented.

Finland

Finland is one of the world leaders in the utilisation of wood based bioenergy and the development of biomass combustion technologies and efficient fuel supply chains. The expertise extends from the forest to heating and power plants, from root to soot.

Finland is a top bioenergy country among the Western Countries. Almost 30 % of total primary energy consumption and 20 % of electricity is met by bioenergy (including peat).

Finland is the world leader in the development of biomass combustion technology and the manufacture of fluidised bed boilers that are suitable for burning different kinds of biomass (wood fuels, peat, REFs etc.). The advantages offered by fluidised bed technology include high efficiency and low emissions.

In Finland, you can see in concrete the modern bioenergy power and heating plants and technologies from farm size up to the world’s biggest construction. Practical know-how and experiences, energy technologies, logistics, various fuel procurement systems, international training possibilities, combustion and harvesting systems and R&D results are presented.

And Central Finland is the Centre of Bioenergy!

Welcome to Finland - The Bioenergy Country

Finland is one of the world’s leading countries in utilising renewable energy sources. About 26 % of Finland’s consumption of primary energy is produced by bioenergy. With this share bioenergy is the biggest resource of energy in Finland. The share of bioelectricity, which is 20 % today, is the highest in the European Union.

Energy technology has become a significant field of exports in the recent decades. This progress is closely related to the development of Finland’s energy supply system and energy intensive industries. This development has been boosted by the needs of the domestic market, the challenge being rigorous climate and an abundant supply of biomass. Technology development target is to have well structured technology programm in the Bioenergy field. Many universities, institutes, schools and private companies provide education and training in forestry and energy technology, from the practical knowledge courses to the level of highest scientific research.

Our energy industry is of great significance in Finland’s industrial structure, being closely intertwined with our traditional branches, forest and metal industries but also the electronics industry. These ties have produced, for example, expertise in different technological areas. Finland is a leading country in the development of biomass combustion technologies combined heat and power production and efficient fuel supply systems. The expertise extends from forests, peatlands, urban and industrial waste to heating and power plants. Bioenergy in wood industry is of importance both producing forest fuels, pellets and in producing heat and power. Finland is also the world leader in the manufacture of fluidised bed boilers that are suitable for burning all kinds of biomass. In Finland you can see in practice modern plants and technologies from a farm size up to the world´s biggest biomass power plant, 220 MW electricity.

The use of bioenergy grows rapidly everywhere. and is a global business. Bioenergy has many positive effects also when battling against the climate change. Also Finland has set challenging targets for to increase further the use of biomass. The Renewable target for 2020 on a 38, % share .This means an increase by 8,5 % unit from today. The main source will still be bioenergy. There will be increase in electricity and heat production but also for traffic purposes. The target is challenge but will be reached by effective implementation tools. Today the new Energy and Climate Strategy to reached the 2020 target is in the hands of the Parliament members.

In Finland, the role of additional financial incentives has been confirmed to be crucial for the development, demonstration and deployment of new technologies. The implementation of high-efficiency, sophisticated technology has been shown to be the best guarantee for increasing the use of bioenergy.

Warmly Welcome to Finland!

Mr. Mauri PekkarinenMinister of Economic Affairs

Jyväskylä is one of Finland’s five most important centres of growth. From beginning of 2009 three municipalities merged to a city with 130 000 inhabitants. In recent years the population of our area has grown at record speed compared to the country as a whole. Jyväskylä is in fact the second most popular place in Finland to move to. Finns have also ranked Jyväskylä as offering the country’s best environment in which to live and bring up children.

The Jyväskylä region is widely known for strong networked cooperation which involves ten municipalities and numerous organisations, enterprises and other bodies. Through broad-ranging collaboration we are intent on reinforcing the region’s success. The goal is also to produce more and more services across municipal boundaries.

The key characteristic of this youthful and vital region is international top-quality education and expertise. A second characteristic is multi-actor operating environments in research and development activity. In practice this means that within the same operating environment enterprises, research establishments as well as training and development organisations are all to be found.

Traditionally the Jyväskylä region has relied on the forest and metal industries and more recently on information and communication technology. The focuses of attention in the region’s primary branches are the production and use of bioenergy, forest industry processes and the international forest industry, as well as areas of emphasis in environmental technology such as biogas technology.

The heart of bioenergy is Central Finland, where bioenergy accounts for 50 % of consumption. In Central Finland it is possible to see more biofuel production systems and different scale power and heating plants in a day than in a week elsewhere. Wood fuel is used in combined heat and power plants and district heating plants in municipalities and in the paper and wood industries. The province has set an ambitious target to reach independence in fuels used in power and heat production until 2015. The target can be met by increasing annual production of bioenergy in the region by four terawatt hours. It means also that Central Finland will reach almost maximal level in bioenergy utilization, and hence represents a kind of ideal of a bioenergy market. The Regional Council of Central Finland has launched a bioenergy cluster programme called Dynamic Bioenergy to work for the target. The programme is managed by the JAMK University of Applied Sciences. The city-owned development company Jyväskylä Innovation participates in the national energy technology cluster with our special regional focus on bioenergy. The region is home to various bioenergy education and R&D institutes such as the University of Jyväskylä, JAMK University of Applied Sciences with it’s Bioenergy Development Centre, VTT with its big bioenergy group, the BENET Bioenergy Network, and FINBIO – the Bioenergy Association of Finland. Large biofuel production companies and forest industry players such as Vapo, Biowatti, Metso, UPM Kymmene and M-Real as well as energy companies and bioenergy marketing companies of different sizes also conduct national and international business from bases in Central Finland. Furthermore, the local energy company owned by the city of Jyväskylä is currently constructing the world’s biggest municipal biofuel power plant. The fuel capacity of the new wood, agrobiomass and peat based power plant will be 500 MW and the electricity output 150 MW.

Welcome to Jyväskylä, home of the world famous architect Alvar Aalto, world champions in various sporting disciplines, and the world’s best organised WRC rally, Neste Oil Rally Finland. We sincerely hope you find this human-sized city and the unspoilt lake and forest scenery that surrounds it to your liking.

Mr. Markku AnderssonMayor

Greetings from the Mayor of Jyväskylä

Technical Tours August 31st, September 3rd and 4th

Pre-Tour August 31st

From City of Helsinki at 11.30 am via Helsinki Airport to Conference city Jyväskylä at 19 pm, travel 320 km.

Neste Oil NextBtl plant The first stop will be Company Neste Oil´s production plants near city Porvoo, 40 km. Total oil production capacity is 11 million tonnes per year and biodiesel capacity 170 000 t/a. This new plant started up in summer 2007.

Synthetic NExBTL biodiesel will be the world’s first second-generation biodiesel to be launched commercially. Company has decided to build a second plant to produce premium-quality biodiesel, scheduled to begin production towards the end of 2008. The second plant will have the same capacity as the first one. In addition to the oil and biodiesel refinery, the Porvoo refinery comprises a large container area, harbour and technology centre.

Lahden Energia biomass gasifier plant The Kymijärvi power plant is a traditional pulverised coal fired power plant. The electricity production capacity is 200 MW and district heat capacity 250 MW.

Power plant concept consisting of a gasifier coupled to a coal fired boiler offers an attractive way to use biomass in Europe.

In the Kymijärvi concept, an atmospheric CFB -gasifier is connected to the existing coal fired boiler. In the gasification reactor the fuel is converted to a gas with air. A cyclone separates circulating bed material back to the gasification zone. The produced gas is used in gas burners located in the main boiler. The used gas accounts to 350 GWh. The coal represents

1700 GWh. In addition, 150 GWh natural gas is used. The biomass gasifier accounts for 15-20 % of the fuel input. The fuels for the gasifier are different kinds of wood based fuels and SRF (Solid Recovered Fuel, Municipal waste derived fuel).

MHG system demonstration in Forest Management of forest fuel chains by MHG Bio energy ERP. How to use ultramodern Internet, mobile, GIS, and satellite information technologies linked into the easy-to-use service developed by MHG Systems Ltd, in management of forest fuel supply chains. The superior features of the service include transparency throughout the delivery chain, managing the moisture content of biomaterials, reporting CO_2 emissions, the amount of energy, i.e. megawatt hours, costs and profits of procurement of biomaterials in supply chains, and invoicing of various user-groups.

Rauhanlahti CHP PlantThe Rauhalahti Plant, commissioned in 1986 and retrofitted in 1995, represents the state of art technology with respect to the use of indigenous fuels, peat, wood and wood wastes. It is also internationally known for its high availability and environmentally reliable systems.

The Rauhalahti Plant is the main supplier of heat in the district heating net in the city of Jyväskylä and surrounding areas. The output for district heat is 140 MWth. Electricity output to the national net is 87 MWe. The plant also supplies the nearby “urban paper mill” the necessary process steam, annually about 350 GW (max steam output 65 MWth). In addition the cogeneration of heat and electricity enables the energy contained in the fuel to be used to full advantage, and the plant efficiency is thus high. The boiler in this unit is a bubbling fluidized bed boiler that was the world´s largest of its type, using biofuels, when erected in 1995. In the study tour we concentrate on the fuel reception and quality questions and also fuel crushing and handling in the plant.

Tour 2Energy crops and biogasFrom 9.00 am to 5.00 pm, travel 110 km

The “Energy crops and biogas” study tour is co-organized by the IEE-project ENCROP (Jyväskylä Innovation Ltd). We will visit a large-scale CHP plant combusting energy crops, a farm cultivating energy crops and a farm-sized biogas plant with biogas upgrading.

Jyväskylä Energy Ltd, Rauhalahti large-scale multi-fuel CHP plant in JyväskyläJyväskylän Energiantuotanto Oy, the subsidiary company of Jyväskylä Energy Ltd, has tested the combustion of reed canary grass at the Rauhalahti CHP plant since 2006. The reed canary grass is always combusted as a fuel-mixture with peat or wood chips in the large scale combined heat and power (CHP) systems. The reed canary grass is transported as bales to the Rauhalahti plant by local suppliers. The bales are chopped at the site and mixed to the main fuel. At the plant yard we will learn more about the bale transportation, chopping and fuel mixing systems.

The Rauhalahti CHP plant produces 85 MWel electricity, 140 MWth district heat and 65 MW steam. During the testing years the energy production of reed canary grass has been about 5 GWh. In the future the aim is to increase the share of reed canary grass as a biofuel. Annually, Rauhalahti CHP plant uses 2TWh different kind of fuels, mainly local fuels.

Vapo Ltd and Tankonen farmThe production of reed canary grass (RCG) for energy purpose has increased rapidly in Finland in the past decade. An official target for cultivating reed canary grass in Finland is 100 000 hectares. Vapo’s aim is 40 000 hectares by 2015. This year, Vapo has 15 000 hectares (own and contract farmers’ fields) under cultivation.

The owner of the Tankonen farm is Mr. Reijo Vatanen (Vapo’s Communication Director), who has

Tour 1 September 3rd

New Technologies for Large Scale Production of Forest Fuels for CHP From 8 am to 17 pm.

Tour is mainly organized by UPM-Kymmene Company. UPM is one of the biggest paper producer in the world and it uses a lot of different kind of biofuels. Finnish forest machine manufacturers have developed many actual methods and logistic systems for large and medium scale forest energy procurement (for logging residues, stumps and small trees).

Tour will concentrate on the latest developments concerning all these forest energy sources and procurement technologies.

Forest sitesThe following large scale production methods are presented at the forest sites:

Final felling sitePulp- and sawlog harvesting, forest residue bundling and transportation, stump lifting and transportation, and large-scale chipping at the roadside.

Thinning siteMechanized multi tree handling with felling heads, combined undelimbed pulp- and energywood harvesting and transportation to the roadside.
