…is the strategy of a decentralized local energy production with the existing renewable resources

of a region!

The Güssing Model

… … to get independent from fossil energy to get independent from fossil energy

in order to strengthen the regional added value! in order to strengthen the regional added value! This strategy can be adapted individually This strategy can be adapted individually

wherever resources are available. wherever resources are available.

The Goal:The Goal:


Out of these resources we are producing…

Heat, Electricity, synthetic Natural Gas, synth. liquid fuels


The district heating system of Güssing

Since 1996:Gradual grid-development Current grid 35km

Convincing arguments:No loss of comfort!Stable energy price!


District Heating Grid


Costs of heating


Parador Parkett


The district heating system of Güssing4 heat sources (2 CHPs & 2 district heating plants), 35km grid, approx 85% of all private households, more than 21,5 MW capacity


Biomass power plant-wood gasification

Electricity

Synth. NaturalGas (BioSNG)

Liquid synth.fuels

Since 2001

2MW electr./ 4,5MW heat


Methanisation demonstration plant Güssing

420kWh heat and 182 Nm³ BioSNG produced out of 1 ton of wood chips

1Nm³ SNG -> 10kWh

Energy balance – town of Güssing Total annual demand (2011):

•heat (30GWh private) 60 GWh•electricity (8GWh private, 36,4GWh industry, 7,5GWh others) 45,14 GWh•fuels (17,5GWh private) 29GWh

Annual production of energy (2011):

•heat – 4 biomass-district heating plants & 3 CHPs 56GWh •electricity – 3 CHP plants 28,2GWh•Since 2009 Methanisation (Prod. synth. natural gas) projected 8,4GWh/a

Current degree of self sufficiency heat and electricity: regarding private households, public buildings and industries

80%
