The French biogas in the perspective of 2020 - Pierre-Marie ABADIE Directeur de l'Energie 12 février 2014
The French biogas in the 2020 energy policy

  The EU has set up objectives to cover 20% of its total energy
 consumption with renewable energies by 2020

  France has set up itself a target of 23%

  The scheduled path for France has been presented in the national
 action plan for renewable energies (plan national d’action (PNA) en
 faveur des énergies renouvelables)
The French biogas in the perspective of 2020 - Pierre-Marie ABADIE Directeur de l'Energie 12 février 2014
The French biogas in the energy perspective of 2020
 The PNA for renewable energies has set up targets for biogas
cogeneration for 2020:
          - For the electricity production: 3 700GWh (625MW
installed), or 2,4% of the electricity objective 2020
          - For the production of heat: 555 ktep, or 2,8% of the heat
objective 2020

  Since 2009 the biogas sector is ahead of its targets
The French biogas in the energy perspective of 2020
Even though the PNA for renewable energies doesn’t set up any
targets for the production of injected biomethane, the developpement of
the sector seems promising
 Since 2012 the gas grid operators have undertaken first studies for
connections to the gas grid for over 300 projects
The French biogas: a support for other energy
policies
  The French biogas sector, besides its target for 2020, supports
  different government policies:

  - The climate policy: reduction of the green house gas impacts
  thanks to the capture of methane

  - The waste policy: reduction of organic waste in landfills according
  to the EU rules of prioritization of the waste treatment

  - The agricultural policy: treatment of the livestock manure and
  agricultural waste, better management of the land application of the
  digestates concerning the nitrogen issues. Income surplus for
  farmers
The French biogas: the support tools

 In view of the energy policy, the cogenerating equipents benefit from
fixed feed-in tariffs for 15 years (Order from May19, 2011)

  In view of the waste policy, the biogas production plants can
 benefit from investment subsidies from the waste funds , which is
 managed by the national energy agency (ADEME)

Le biogaz français: les outils de soutien
 In view of the energy and agricultural policy, the plan Energie
Methanisation Autonomie Azote (EMAA) has been announced by
the MEDDE (Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and
energy) and the MAAF (Ministry of Agriculture) on March 29, 2013

This plan aims at:
- support the development of 1000 biogas plants in rural areas
until 2020;
- enhance the management of the nitrogen fertilizers produced by
farmers and reduce the use of synthetic fertilizers.

 So far, the following measures have been implemented by
MEDDE :
- increase of the livestock manure bonus: Order published on
August 7, 2013;
- upward revision of the recording threshold from 50t/day of
treated waste to 60t/day: CSPRT declared decree on January 28,
2014
- Simplifying measures with a 3-year experimentation period of the
unique construction permit for biogas and wind power projects in 7
regions: texts submitted to the superior energy council on February
18, 2014
The French biogas: the main issues

 For the cogenerating plants, the main issue until 2020 is the
reduction of production costs

The start of the biogas branch in France has been supported by an
adapted feed-in tariff and investment subsidies. Today the sector has
to reduce its production costs for an economically and socially
sustainable development.

 For the biomethane injecting plants, the support of the development
is a major issue until 2020
