Government reiterates support for biomass plans
1:30pm Thursday 26th July 2012 in Southampton Biomass
Biomass protestors in Southampton
GOVERNMENT support for biomass has been maintained – as plans are drawn up for a huge plant in Southampton.
Helius Energy wants to build the £300m, 100mw wood-burning plant at Western Docks.
People living in the Freemantle and Millbrook areas are to be polled on the plans in a referendum in November.
Yesterday the Government announced its new range of subsidies for renewable energy technologies, with no change to the ‘dedicated biomass’ category of power generation.
There was a ten per cent cut in support for onshore wind farms – lower than expected, after Tory MPs called for a 25 per cent reduction.

In fact it is a very mixed bag. One of the clearest themes is a greater emphasis on gas as a power station fuel into the 2020s and beyond.
Recognising gas as a relatively low carbon fuel it is clear that DECC perceive that UK-sourced gas may become available in large quantities.
The hope is also held out that wellhead gas prices will fall (as they have in the USA over the last few years) as the UK becomes gas self-sufficient once again.
This is a very big policy change for the UK Government.

As I've said before these locals should be 1/fighting to have the wood chip resourced from the UK . 2/ have it delivered by rail.
They should also look into Helius supplying the local residents with cheap hot water for either 1/to use as hot water. 2/ use for heating which would make the plant considerably "greener"

This is the sort of nonsense that "green-ness" has delivered when in the hands of political activists. However Marland does seem to endorse the expansion of gas fracking though as usual the report is vague on detail so we can look forward to the same army of "greens" appearing in another location opposing another source of power generation while happily and hypoctritically consuming electricity in their homes every day.

If the below news can be trusted, a £300m, 119 acre Algae Plant can produce over 15m gallons of biofuel per year.. 20,000 homes x 750 gallons.
If scaled up to Fawley Refinery's 3,250 acre site an Algae Plant can produce over 400m gallons of biofuel per year.. 20,000 homes x 20,000 gallons.

Austrian algae biofuel-production technology to debut in Brazil.
By Antonio Pasolini.
10:53 July 20, 2012.
The new plant will make the most of algae's potential. One of the products to come out of it will be feedstock for animals, providing an alternative to soybeans. The process also yields algal lipids that can be used to make biodiesel and biochemicals. Algae are also a source of omega-3. As overfishing has become a serious environmental concern, algae are a more environmentally-frie
ndly source of this nutrient, which is commonly sold as a supplement.
"We believe that this marks a significant step forward in the evolution of our company and validates both our exclusive technology and the commercial viability of algae, especially for use in feed and biofuels,” said Dr. Joachim Grill, SAT’s CEO.
The plant will occupy one hectare (2.5 acres) and the total investment is €8 million (US$9.81 million). SAT expects the unit to be producing 1.2 million liters (317,000 gallons) of biodiesel per year when it starts operating in late 2013.

The Energy Efficient House | Fully Charged
Published on 25 Jul 2012 by
Robert Llewellyn visits an energy efficient house in Berlin.
Robert is back in Berlin, where he speaks to Jörg Welke who lives in a house which produces 16,000kWh of energy a year, when it only uses 4,000-5,000kWh. With it's great insulation, solar panels, and a 40kWh storage battery, it is truly energy efficient.
In 2010, the UK could produce on a sunny midsummer day, 74,000kW of energy from solar electricity. Compare this to Germany who under the same conditions producer 17,000,000kW of energy.

Going by the below UK Renewable Energy Roadmap this Coalition Government hasn't carried out an in-depth inquiry into the sustainability of Wood/Grass Biomass Energy.
-
An inquiry headed by David Attenborough could keep everyone happy?.. He supported Glyndebourne in their successful application to obtain planning permission for a wind turbine in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and gave evidence at the planning inquiry arguing in favour of the proposal.
1) This Coalition Government says Biomass heat technologies supply chains have not yet been tested at scale, the key issue of whether the global supply of sustainable feedstocks can fuel it, given that supplies are finite and there are competing uses in the bio-economy.
2) This Coalition Government says Cost reductions are expected for offshore wind and solar PV as supply chains and technologies develop to 2020.. AFAIK this Government sees no such Cost reductions for Wood/Grass Biomass Energy.

UK Renewable Energy Roadmap.
July 2011.
The nations of the United Kingdom are endowed with vast and varied renewable energy resources. We have the best wind, wave and tidal resources in Europe.
The UK leads the world in offshore wind, with more than 700 turbines already installed, and is accelerating the deployment of onshore wind with the biggest projects in Europe already operating and under construction in Scotland and Wales.
Taken together onshore and offshore wind provide enough power for more than two and a half million homes. But we could do so much more. Our challenge is to bring costs down and deployment up.
This document – the UK’s first Renewable Energy Roadmap – sets out our shared approach to unlocking our renewable energy potential.
Plant Biomass
The range of cost uncertainty is particularly large for technologies such as marine, which is at the early stages of commercial deployment in the UK, and biomass heat technologies, for which supply chains have not yet been tested at scale.
Cost reductions are expected to be most pronounced for electricity technologies, particularly offshore wind and solar PV, as supply chains and technologies develop to 2020.
The cost of generating heat and electricity from fossil fuels is also expected to rise over time.
It is essential that costs of renewable technologies fall over the decade as deployment increases. Our goal in the medium to long term is to help renewables compete on a level playing field against other low carbon technologies. We will regularly review our subsidy programmes to take account of cost changes from supply chain development, learning, and technical breakthrough.
Figure 19 sets out the results of analysis of the potential for growth in biomass electricity generation to 2020.
The breadth of the central range reflects the dynamic potential of the large-scale biomass sector and the key issue of whether the global supply of sustainable feedstocks can fuel it, given that supplies are finite and there are competing uses in the bio-economy. The low and high scenarios reflect initial views from industry on the upside potential and downside risks.
Dedicated biomass electricity offers great potential for cost effective renewable electricity generation, provided that it is generated from sustainable feedstocks. As noted above, the Government’s ambition for biomass electricity depends on the availability of suitable feedstocks. The Government considers that sustainable biomass should be cultivated, processed and transported in a way which delivers real and significant greenhouse gas savings compared to the fossil fuel it is replacing. In particular, forest and woodlands must be sustainably managed to ensure continuing supplies in future years.
There would also be significant public concern to projects delivering unsustainable generation.

"This will mean more deforestation, more carbon emissions and land-grabbing overseas."
Farmers are realising they can made big profits out of growing miscanthus - elephant grass - for biomass use as well as getting grants for a half of start-up costs.

Almost a billion go hungry worldwide
SARAH MORRISON SUNDAY 05 AUGUST 2012.
An unparalleled number of severe food shortages has added 43 million to the number of people going hungry worldwide this year. And millions of children are now at risk of acute malnutrition, charities are warning. One week ahead of David Cameron's "hunger summit", they say that unless action is taken urgently, many more could fall victim.
Barbara Stocking, Oxfam GB's chief executive, called the summit "a positive step forward", but stressed: "It must be the start of concerted action to address the shocking fact that while we produce enough food to feed everyone on the planet, about a billion will tonight go to bed hungry.
"Dwindling natural resources and the gathering pace of climate change mean that without urgent action, things will only get worse, and multiple major crises could quickly move from being an exception to being the norm."
She added that Mr Cameron should call for increased investment in small farmers, greater transparency in commodity markets and an end to biofuel subsidies.
