Summary
The Såtenergi project is a successful and profitable co-operation between owner, customer and fuel supplier in the south/central part of Sweden, just south of the lake Vänern. The customer, an Air Force base, buys approximately 20 GWH of district heating energy annually and also supplies personnel for operation of the plant. The fuel supplier, an organisation owned by 40 local farmers, owns 9% of Såteneri AB. The main owner (91%) Lantmännen Energi AB, a subsidiary to a Swedish co-operative of 55 000 farmers, supplies administration and technical support. Såtenergi AB has been in operation since 1994. Total investment in 1993 was € 1.4 million. The contract with the Air Force base runs until 2013.
Economy
Annual profit rose from 75500 Euros in 1996 to 198900 Euros in 2001.
Environment
The maximum dust emission limits for the plant is 100 mg/nm3. The installed flue gas cleaning system means that emissions are lower than this, approximately 15 mg/nm3.
The decrease in the use of oil, 2000 m3, has led to decreased sulphur dioxide emissions of 11 tonnes/year and decreased carbon dioxide emissions of 4900 tonnes/year.
Since the farming co-operative providing the fuels to the plant is local, the need for transportation is minimized. The bioashes from combustion are delivered back to the farmers who then return it to the fields as fertilizer.
Jobs Created
Operational staff: 1.5; straw harvest including transport: 3; maintenance and administration: 0.5. Total approximately 5 annual jobs created.
