Bio-Energy
bull Upgrading of biogas offers the advantage to use the natural gas grid to transport biogas to the consumer and to use methane from biogas as transportation fuel Meanwhile mature technologies for biogas upgrading have been developed
bull Synthetic gasoline and diesel (ldquobiomass-to-liquidrdquo ndash BTL) can be produced via gasification of lignocellulosic biomass such as wood and straw with downstream synthesis and upgrading The technology is under development since several years BTL plants are still an issue of research and development
bull Lignocellulosic Ethanol Alternatively lignocellulosic biomass can be converted to ethanol via hydrolysis and fermentation The lignocellulosic ethanol process is also in the state of research and development The use of lignocellulosic biomass for the production of transportation fuels competes with the use of lignocellulosic biomass for electricity and heat generation
bull Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle Lignocellulosic biomass can be used for the generation of electricity via an IGCC process which offer a higher electrical efficiency than conventional steam turbine only based processes Solid biomass fuelled IGCC are still an issue of research and development
Bio-Energy Environmental Issues
bull Environmental issues in Europe are mainly the cultivation of energy crops eg the emissions of greenhouse gases from fertiliser use and the pollution of water and soil from the application of agrochemicals Adequate crop rotation systems lower the environmental impacts
bull Imported Biomass is a major concern with respect to the destruction of primary forests and the reduction of biodiversity
bull The potential of bio-energy is more limited than the potential for wind and solar energy The bio-energy potential in Europe is already exploited to 40 - 75
Ocean Energy
bull Ocean energy includes
ndash Oscillating Water Column (OWC)
ndash Seawave Slot-Cone converter (SSG)
ndash horizontal and vertical ocean current
turbines
ndash Pelamis Wave Energy Converter
ndash Wave dragon
ndash osmotic power (salinity gradient power)
Geothermal Energy
bull Geothermal power is independent from solar radiation or fossil fuels and can supply heat and electricity around-the-clock
bull Hot Dry Rock While hydrothermal geothermal plants can be built only in a few locations Hot Dry Rock (HDR) is technically feasible in all European countries but not everywhere economical due to high drilling costs
bull Organic Rankine Cycle Kalina Cycle The heat supplied by the majority of the geothermal resources in the EU such as aquifers and fault lines and geothermal resources produced via HDR is usually below 220degC requiring Organic Rankine Cycle or Kalina Cycle technologies Typical electricity conversion efficiencies are 7 to 12 (depending on water temperature)
bull Pilot Stage Commercialisation Prerequisites So far only a few low-temperature pilot plats have been realised To move geothermal power generation to commercialisation a significant cost reduction of all technologies is necessary
bull Research Needs The development of applied simulations methods low-temperature cycles and improved total system integration is necessary

Bio-Energy
bull Upgrading of biogas offers the advantage to use the natural gas grid to transport biogas to the consumer and to use methane from biogas as transportation fuel Meanwhile mature technologies for biogas upgrading have been developed
bull Synthetic gasoline and diesel (ldquobiomass-to-liquidrdquo ndash BTL) can be produced via gasification of lignocellulosic biomass such as wood and straw with downstream synthesis and upgrading The technology is under development since several years BTL plants are still an issue of research and development
bull Lignocellulosic Ethanol Alternatively lignocellulosic biomass can be converted to ethanol via hydrolysis and fermentation The lignocellulosic ethanol process is also in the state of research and development The use of lignocellulosic biomass for the production of transportation fuels competes with the use of lignocellulosic biomass for electricity and heat generation
bull Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle Lignocellulosic biomass can be used for the generation of electricity via an IGCC process which offer a higher electrical efficiency than conventional steam turbine only based processes Solid biomass fuelled IGCC are still an issue of research and development
Bio-Energy Environmental Issues
bull Environmental issues in Europe are mainly the cultivation of energy crops eg the emissions of greenhouse gases from fertiliser use and the pollution of water and soil from the application of agrochemicals Adequate crop rotation systems lower the environmental impacts
bull Imported Biomass is a major concern with respect to the destruction of primary forests and the reduction of biodiversity
bull The potential of bio-energy is more limited than the potential for wind and solar energy The bio-energy potential in Europe is already exploited to 40 - 75
Ocean Energy

ndash Seawave Slot-Cone converter (SSG)
ndash horizontal and vertical ocean current
turbines
ndash Pelamis Wave Energy Converter
ndash Wave dragon
ndash osmotic power (salinity gradient power)
Geothermal Energy
bull Geothermal power is independent from solar radiation or fossil fuels and can supply heat and electricity around-the-clock
bull Hot Dry Rock While hydrothermal geothermal plants can be built only in a few locations Hot Dry Rock (HDR) is technically feasible in all European countries but not everywhere economical due to high drilling costs
bull Organic Rankine Cycle Kalina Cycle The heat supplied by the majority of the geothermal resources in the EU such as aquifers and fault lines and geothermal resources produced via HDR is usually below 220degC requiring Organic Rankine Cycle or Kalina Cycle technologies Typical electricity conversion efficiencies are 7 to 12 (depending on water temperature)
bull Pilot Stage Commercialisation Prerequisites So far only a few low-temperature pilot plats have been realised To move geothermal power generation to commercialisation a significant cost reduction of all technologies is necessary
bull Research Needs The development of applied simulations methods low-temperature cycles and improved total system integration is necessary

Bio-Energy
bull Upgrading of biogas offers the advantage to use the natural gas grid to transport biogas to the consumer and to use methane from biogas as transportation fuel Meanwhile mature technologies for biogas upgrading have been developed
bull Synthetic gasoline and diesel (ldquobiomass-to-liquidrdquo ndash BTL) can be produced via gasification of lignocellulosic biomass such as wood and straw with downstream synthesis and upgrading The technology is under development since several years BTL plants are still an issue of research and development
bull Lignocellulosic Ethanol Alternatively lignocellulosic biomass can be converted to ethanol via hydrolysis and fermentation The lignocellulosic ethanol process is also in the state of research and development The use of lignocellulosic biomass for the production of transportation fuels competes with the use of lignocellulosic biomass for electricity and heat generation
bull Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle Lignocellulosic biomass can be used for the generation of electricity via an IGCC process which offer a higher electrical efficiency than conventional steam turbine only based processes Solid biomass fuelled IGCC are still an issue of research and development
Bio-Energy Environmental Issues
bull Environmental issues in Europe are mainly the cultivation of energy crops eg the emissions of greenhouse gases from fertiliser use and the pollution of water and soil from the application of agrochemicals Adequate crop rotation systems lower the environmental impacts
bull Imported Biomass is a major concern with respect to the destruction of primary forests and the reduction of biodiversity
bull The potential of bio-energy is more limited than the potential for wind and solar energy The bio-energy potential in Europe is already exploited to 40 - 75

Bio-Energy
bull Upgrading of biogas offers the advantage to use the natural gas grid to transport biogas to the consumer and to use methane from biogas as transportation fuel Meanwhile mature technologies for biogas upgrading have been developed
bull Synthetic gasoline and diesel (ldquobiomass-to-liquidrdquo ndash BTL) can be produced via gasification of lignocellulosic biomass such as wood and straw with downstream synthesis and upgrading The technology is under development since several years BTL plants are still an issue of research and development
bull Lignocellulosic Ethanol Alternatively lignocellulosic biomass can be converted to ethanol via hydrolysis and fermentation The lignocellulosic ethanol process is also in the state of research and development The use of lignocellulosic biomass for the production of transportation fuels competes with the use of lignocellulosic biomass for electricity and heat generation
bull Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle Lignocellulosic biomass can be used for the generation of electricity via an IGCC process which offer a higher electrical efficiency than conventional steam turbine only based processes Solid biomass fuelled IGCC are still an issue of research and development
Bio-Energy Environmental Issues
bull Environmental issues in Europe are mainly the cultivation of energy crops eg the emissions of greenhouse gases from fertiliser use and the pollution of water and soil from the application of agrochemicals Adequate crop rotation systems lower the environmental impacts
bull Imported Biomass is a major concern with respect to the destruction of primary forests and the reduction of biodiversity
bull The potential of bio-energy is more limited than the potential for wind and solar energy The bio-energy potential in Europe is already exploited to 40 - 75
Ocean Energy
bull Ocean energy includes
ndash Oscillating Water Column (OWC)
ndash Seawave Slot-Cone converter (SSG)
ndash horizontal and vertical ocean current
turbines
ndash Pelamis Wave Energy Converter
ndash Wave dragon
ndash osmotic power (salinity gradient power)
Geothermal Energy
bull Geothermal power is independent from solar radiation or fossil fuels and can supply heat and electricity around-the-clock
bull Hot Dry Rock While hydrothermal geothermal plants can be built only in a few locations Hot Dry Rock (HDR) is technically feasible in all European countries but not everywhere economical due to high drilling costs
bull Organic Rankine Cycle Kalina Cycle The heat supplied by the majority of the geothermal resources in the EU such as aquifers and fault lines and geothermal resources produced via HDR is usually below 220degC requiring Organic Rankine Cycle or Kalina Cycle technologies Typical electricity conversion efficiencies are 7 to 12 (depending on water temperature)
bull Pilot Stage Commercialisation Prerequisites So far only a few low-temperature pilot plats have been realised To move geothermal power generation to commercialisation a significant cost reduction of all technologies is necessary
bull Research Needs The development of applied simulations methods low-temperature cycles and improved total system integration is necessary

Geothermal Energy
bull Geothermal power is independent from solar radiation or fossil fuels and can supply heat and electricity around-the-clock
bull Hot Dry Rock While hydrothermal geothermal plants can be built only in a few locations Hot Dry Rock (HDR) is technically feasible in all European countries but not everywhere economical due to high drilling costs
bull Organic Rankine Cycle Kalina Cycle The heat supplied by the majority of the geothermal resources in the EU such as aquifers and fault lines and geothermal resources produced via HDR is usually below 220degC requiring Organic Rankine Cycle or Kalina Cycle technologies Typical electricity conversion efficiencies are 7 to 12 (depending on water temperature)
bull Pilot Stage Commercialisation Prerequisites So far only a few low-temperature pilot plats have been realised To move geothermal power generation to commercialisation a significant cost reduction of all technologies is necessary
bull Research Needs The development of applied simulations methods low-temperature cycles and improved total system integration is necessary
