BIODINA Objectives The objective of the project is to demonstrate and widely disseminate the benefits of changing the agrarian practices of the Navarra community from cereal food crops to oleaginous energy crops in order to approach a sustainable community in diesel consumption, through the local production of biodiesel at a large scale. The specific objectives of the project are: • To produce 35,000 Tm/year of sunflower, rape and palm biodiesel, (11% of the community consumption); • To create 25 direct and 100 indirect jobs related to the biodiesel plant; • To involve between 300 and 400 farmers from the community in the development and supply of oleaginous biomass, which implies a change of mentality from traditional food crops to the new idea of energy crops; and • To contribute to European security of supply. The use of local production of 35,000 Tm/year of biodiesel will avoid an annual import of 36,900 tonnes of oil derivatives. Production of biodiesel from sunflower, rapeseed and palm Challenges Navarra is a Spanish regional community lacking conventional energy resources. Ten years ago its supply was mainly based on the imports of conventional energy sources (solid fuels, oil derivatives and some gas), its energy self-supply being just 13.3% in 1993. This strong external energy dependency motivated its half a million inhabitants, through the regional government, to devise and execute (since 1990) a pioneer plan for the integration of its own resources (renewable energies) into the energy consumption chain. Efforts were initially directed towards the RES electric supply and, as a result, in 2003 the community now generates over 50% of the electricity consumption using RES (wind: over 400 MW; mini-hydro: over 60 MW; photovoltaic: 1.2 MWp; biomass: 25 MW). However, fuels used for transport, heating, etc. are still 100% conventional and imported. The time has come to reduce this dependency The RES biofuels project is a RES-based innovative approach which will integrate the whole chain of actors involved in biofuel production (farmers, technology developer, biofuel producer and end-users) in the community, in order to shift to a more sustainable energy supply. Location The biodiesel plant will be located in the Caparroso municipal area in the region of Navarra. The land is situated to the north-west of the municipal area, very close to the railway station. The locality has very good road connections. 178 Project structure The work is divided into the following work packages: • WP1: Project management • WP2: Crops • WP3: Plant engineering • WP4: Plant construction • WP5: Laboratory • WP6: Operation set-up • WP7: Fill-in stations • WP8: In-vehicle tests • WP9: Final evaluation The consortium comprises: • EHN: Renewable energy promoter, Spain • Lurgi: Biodiesel plant technology manufacturer, Germany • ITGA: Agrarian technical institute, Spain • SCPSA: Local public organisation in charge of local transport and other municipal services in the city of Pamplona (capital of Navarra), Spain • Cetenasa: Research centre, Spain • ONIDOL: National organisation of oleaginous plants, France Expected impact and exploitation The project will contribute to the local socioeconomic development as it will create 25 direct jobs for the operation of the new plant plus 100 indirect jobs in related services activities. In addition, between 300 and 400 jobs will be generated in the agrarian sector as regards the following activities in the chain: raw material growing, harvesting and logistics, and fuel distribution and sale.
As a result of the new agricultural needs that this latest biodiesel activity will generate in the region, it is very possible that the area will change crop distribution significantly, thereby increasing production of oleaginous plants. In addition, the project will contribute towards changing the mentality of the farmers as they will switch from food production to energy production. Therefore, in order to establish the impact that this whole new biofuel activity will generate on the farming sector, socio-economic research studies will be developed in the farming sector. In addition, the project will raise public awareness regarding the cost/efficiency rate of the whole biodiesel process, and also as regards the environmentally friendly characteristic of biodiesel generation and consumption technologies. Publicity campaigns will be undertaken. The economic objective is to reach an investment level under 535 euro/Tm of biodiesel and to achieve annual production costs under 594 euro/Tm (including raw material costs and operation and maintenance). The environmental objective is to avoid the emission of 71.000 Tm/year of CO2 (this is the amount of CO2 that 35,000 Tm of conventional diesel emits into the air). In addition, the emission of 82 Tm/year of CO and 105 Tm/year of SO2 will be suppressed. Computer simulation of the future biodiesel plant. Biodiesel bus. Finally, as regards exploitation, the project will provide a stable use of biodiesel in passenger transport services and other transport activities. In addition, although the project will materialise locally in the region of Navarra, the promoters will establish a plan for replicating this technology on a large scale in any European region where there is raw material availability, social and administration interest, and a legal framework that favours its development. Progress to date The project, which started on 1 January 2003, will last for 36 months. In June 2003, the project status was: • Completion of the design of the laboratories needed for testing and assuring the quality of future biodiesel; • Good progress on the design of the biodiesel plant; • Civil engineering work started on the plant (earth removal); • Test methodology to be applied to vehicles under development; and • Location of future fill-in stations under discussion. 179 INFORMATION References: NNE5-649-2001 Programme: FP5 - Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development Title: Sustainable Community through the Production of 30.000 Tm/year of Bio-Diesel Starting from Sunflower, Rapeseed and Palm Biomass – BIODINA Duration: 36 months Contact point: Kintxo Ancin Corporación Energía Hidroeléctrica de Navarra SA Tel: +34-948-229422 Fax: +34-948-222970 jancin@ehn.es Partners: Corporación Energía Hidroeléctrica de Navarra (E) Lurgi Life Science (D) Instituto Técnico y de Gestión Agrícola (E) Servicios de la Comarca de Pamplon (E) Fundación Cetenasa (E) Organisation Nationale Interprofessionelle des Oléagineux (F) EC Scientific Officer: Kyriakos Maniatis Tel: +32-2-2990293 Fax: +32-2-2966261 kyriakos.maniatis@cec .eu.int Status: Ongoing
