Summary
One of the most successful projects of the Energikontor Sydost energy agency is called "Nearby Heating Kronoberg". It's a purposeful venture aiming to replacing oil and electricity for heat production. The project contains 26 plants which have been built or are under construction during the period of 1999-2002. The total heating effect is 100 MW and out of the produced 220 GWh/y, is 180 GWh/y or nearly 80 % coming from biomass instead of oil and electricity. In addition to that, most of the plants are also prepared for the production of electricity, but it's not yet profitable. The decrease of CO2-emissions is significant, and as most of the biomass comes from local or regional suppliers, they have also managed to increase the employment in remote areas. For a short summary of the different plants see Appendix 1 in the case study.
Results
Energy produced by renewables: 275 GWh; Number of plants: about 35, out of which 25 is in Kronoberg and 10 in Kalmar; Environmental benefits: CO2-reduction 0,3 - 1,0 tonne/MWh; Jobs created: employs 1 person per 2000 MWh/year (pellets) and 3000 MWh/year (chips), 2 professorships and 10 doctoral students.
