One hectare crops and beyond crops brings

an unbelievable food and energy yield

-

From one hectare with main crops you can feed 7 persons

-

From one hectare

beyond crop you can produce:

- power and heat for one houshold

- produce fuel to drive 22.000 km

(Including a pV and a solarheating system for the household)

Further development of electricity

production by biogas

-

Biogas is beside of store waterpower the only one renewable energy which can be stored

-

We need a solution for the first plants which run out of the „Ökostromgesetz“

-

We also want to create a solution for electricity production beside of the „Ökostromgesetz“

ÎStart a discussion process during our congress „biogas 06 II“ in Linz on November 30 th about

With biogas into the gas grid

-Pilot plant Pucking

- Goal:

- Upgrading from biogas to an equal quality of natural gas

- To feed it into the gas grid

- Start: May 2005 - Durating: 3 Jahre - Partner: -Erdgas oö -Ferngas oö -LK OÖ -Land OÖ.

The first outcomes from the project

-Scheduled use for upgraded biogas

-

Our federal Minister for agriculture and

environment and the general manager of OMV signed a pact last summer so called „5 Punkte Programm“

- The goal of the pact is the initiation of biogas and natural gas as a new fuel in Austria

- Creating a new gaseous fuel with at least 20 % biogas

- 200 gas stations in Austria up to 2010

- Guaranteed tax deliverance up to 2020

(21)

The first outcomes from the project

-Scheduled use for upgraded biogas

-

Together with the natural gas industry we

want to create a new kind of gaseous fuel

„Bio – CNG“

-

Platform „Bio – CNG“

-

A working group with members of gas industry and biogas plant operators

-

The goal of the platform is to find solutions for a fast growing market for „Bio – CNG“

(22)

The first outcomes from the project –

Linz: public traffic with Bio CNG buses

-

Goal:

- Less pollution in the city air

- Less noise from public traffic

- 86 buses up to 2008

- Partner:

Green Biorefinery

JKU Linz – Location Utzenaich

-

Goal:

- Combination EE + production of raw materials for the chemical industry (e.g.:lactic & amino acid)

- Creation of valuable materials for natural substance chemistry

- Job creation

-

Start: beginning 2007

-

Period: 3 years

Increasing the fertility of the soil

with biogas manure

-

It is concerned on a single examination in Upper Austria

-

Outcomes:

- Less density ~ 13 %

- Increasing of the water content ~ 12 %

- Increasing of the maxium water capacity ~ 15 %

- Increasing of the organical substance ~ 13 %

- Increasing of the soil activity

Î This brings advantages in dry regions and by producing food and energy on the same field
