Op p o r t u n i t i e s f o r B i o t u r b i n e s i n t h e E U As already mentioned the number of installed microturbines in Europe up to now is quite low, but they have a good potential market, especially if bioturbines are considered. The most interesting applications are identified as buildings, hospitals, municipalities, hotels, food processing industries and greenhouses. Two applications that have, after due efforts for innovation, extremely large potential, are: district heating, using microturbines adopted in clusters and the transport sector, especially if applied with hybrid technology. The following actions are recommended in order to have the right framework for this innovative technology development, improving market chances: • • • • • A standardisation and biofuels characterisation is necessary; A secure supply of biofuels will stimulate its credibility; Further research has to be done to improve the performances of bioturbines; Demonstration of the capabilities of this technology to potential private and public users; Increasing potential users awareness, by means of a specific information addressed to local authorities, citizens, energy companies and industries regarding distributed cogeneration and advantages of renewable energies; • A precise legislative framework for renewable energies, energy efficiency and cogeneration promotion; • Regulations concerning the electricity exchange with the grid and a simplifying of the authorization requirements; • Incentives have to be put on biofuels so that an increasing demand will induce lower production costs; • • • Adequate taxes differentiation between biofuels and fossil fuels; Acknowledgement of ultralow emissions of microturbines; Incentives and market stimulation for co-generation as an important energy efficiency technology. The advantages shown by microturbines (low maintenance, being very simple and compact devices, high reliability, low noise and vibrations, low emissions, fuel flexibility) are expected to provide a successful development of this technology, especially if bioturbines are considered. European and national environmental policies are favourable to their promotion. The opportunities of the technology are consistent with the goals set by the EC. Biofuel-burning Microturbine Opportunity Fuel flexibility leading to energy production from renewable sources Electricity generator for hybrid technology in transport Reduce greenhouse gas emissions Improve energy efficiency by means of distributed generation Security in energy supply, lowering the dependence from fossil fuels, that means from non European countries, implying high electricity prices increasing in time Corresponding EC goal European countries have to get a certain contribution from renewable sources to the overall primary energy by 2010 Directive 2003/30/EC on the promotion of the use of biofuels in transport Obligation to greenhouse gases reduction within the period 2008-2012, according to the Kyoto Protocol Directive 2004/8/EC on the promotion of cogeneration based on useful demand in the internal market is pushing European countries to analyse the national potential and to define objectives to be achieved Green Paper on a European strategy of energy supply, 2000 - 15 -PDF Image | Biofuel-burning Microturbine Opportunities for Biofuel-burning Microturbines in the European Decentralised-generation Market (BIOTURBINE)
