Biomass from vine shots

reCovery RWE- Innogy Iberia. 2008 Biomass power plants. Feasibility + seasonal characteristics + great calorific potential

Utiel-Requena Region LIFE. Biovid Project. 2003-2006 new method for the waste management of vine shoots, converting them into pulp that could be used in the manufacture of paper by means of the innovative process of cellulose

extraction

+ 60.000 Tn of vineyard waste + electricity for 20.000 homes

Collection and transportation problems it wasn’t possible to force farmers to participate in any vine shoots collection system

reCovery

Opportunity Reuse vineyard waste to produce electricity Regulations in Spain don’t incentive renewable energy production But……….

Green Wineries

Auto-consumption market is not regulated So……….

95 wineries 34,312 hectares

There’s one opportunity for Micro CHP system At wine cooperatives and private wineries

Closing production to consumption Close the circle of wine production Reduce transport Benefits for agricultures

Climate

Impact Solving problem of accumulation and elimination of this waste Avoid risks of pests Avoid risks of fires Less CO2 emissions Carbon neutral energy Burning into a boiler with filters Steam and Hot Water for the industrial process

10% rentability – 7 years payback Endogenous energy sources Diversification agriculture sector Rural development: More quality of life = increase population More job opportunities
