allowing them to monitor annual quantities of produced biogas; Biogas producers notify Estonian Statistics Agency about their annual quantities of biogas produced. IX Create a register of biogas inputs To establish public Estonian Biogas Portal with database on how much biogas could be produced from inputs owned by large companies whose substrates.. The government can 2012 outsource the service which constantly updates the database from NGOs, e.g. Estonian Biogas Association (EBA) or from other institutions. 2. Biogas production – To achieve by the year 2030 usage of full biogas technical potential I II III IV To supplement the NREAP 2020 with biogas and biomethane target as following: 50 MW by 2020 and 110 MW (nominal electric power) in 2030 and by the year of 2020, 100 million m3 biomethane and by 2030, 235 million m3 of biomethane Not to reduce the existing renewable electricity feed-in-tariff (€ 0,054/kWh) To develop a legal framework for the biogas producer, e.g. to work out the legal frame for the long-term contract (e.g 15 years) for electricity, heat or biomethane production with additional benefits. Summarizing grants, maximum subsidy would be 14 €c/kWh, plus the Nord Pool market price Biomethane purchase support (fixed-price) 80 euro cents per kg; (235 million Nm 3 of biomethane) Various studies and latest results in the field of biogas should be forwarded to the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications, which introduces the concept of the biogas in the Action Plan of the NREAP an Annex in NREAP 2020 In collaboration with Estonian Renewable Energy Association to suggest that feed-in-tariff of renewable electricity is not reduced and would not be the same for all energy sources, but is differentiated by the source, location, size of renewable energy production. To add for current biogas production feed-in-tariff following additional benefits: 1.Support for small-scale production- 2 €c/kWh(for smaller than 1MWel biogas plants); 2.Decentralised renewable energy generation subsidy (regional political and security aspect of energy) support – 2 €c/kWh; 3.Farm waste recovery subsidy 2 €c/kWh; 4. Maintenance grant for unused land (producing biomass (silage) on the land that is out of use) - 2 €c/kWh; 5. Heat usage support 2 €c/kWh; 6. Production of renewable fuel (biomethane) support - 6 €c/kWh. To order a feasibility study, which supports the fixed purchase price system for natural gas operator, at a fixed price 0.80 €/kg or the difference between the price of CNG and 80 €c/kg 2012 2012-2013 2012-2015 2012-2014 V To set exact rules for digestate use as To create a working group consisting 2012 - 2020 34
VI fertilizer. It must cover the whole circle of all participants including investors, entrepreneurs, planners, local governments, energy companies, (food)waste and potential users/customers of digestate To implement the biogas sector costbenefit analysis, including the definition and measurement of public goods and benefits of biogas production; the target is to find that the biogas production total benefits to society are greater than its economic cost (including subsidies). of input producers, representatives of research institutions/universities, entrepreneurs, representatives of the ministries, which deals the following issues: 1) What is the current situation regarding the use of digestate as fertilizer? 2) How much substrates do we have for biogas production? 3) Which digestate handling technology is now used as models, and whether they are best suited for Estonia? 4) to create the Estonian Digestate Centre of Excellence and to fix the list of these inputs/substrates, which digestate can be used as fertilizer after the biogas production process; 5) to analyse the digestate outlets and how to develop it to be competitive with mineral fertilizers; 6) to create an awareness-raising campaign to introduce the digestate so that the technological steps are clearly shown in the waste management and energy production processes; 7) To improve public understanding of economic, environmental and social public benefits of digestate, depending on the fermentation technology; 8) To identify in detail the obstacles in legislation that prevents wider use of the digestate as organic fertilizer; 9) To compare and to publish the experiences of the use of digestate in neighboring countries (Latvia, Finland, Sweden) 10) To ensure that the use of digestate as fertilizer has been legally settled, that digestate is not a waste and thus the waste regualtion is not approritate for handling digestate but that digestate is a useful and naturefriendly product. EBA implements such a study itself or outsources it from some biogas competence consultancy/development company; to assess the public benefits properly, the life cycle analysis on value chain should be used. 2012 35
