EU renewable energy directives proposed amended

Commissioner for Climate Action Connie Hedegaard and Energy Commissioner Günther Oetinger have proposed amendments of the Directives on renewable energy, which favors liquid fuel based on waste. Connie Hedegaard is satisfied with much less fossil-free fuel when it comes to bio-methanol. She does so because Biomethanol is made on waste without encroaching on agricultural land - it belongs to so-called 2 generation.
Read the Amendments , the Renewable Energy Directive (RED), the Fuel Quality Directive (FQD).

Danish Biogas Subsidies

The Danish parliament supports the use of biogas for electricity production and for upgrading of biogas to the natural gas grid with DKK115/GJ. A minor support DKK75/GJ is granted users of biogas for industrial process and transportation. Temporary subsidies disapears and only a basic rate of DKK39/GJ is expected to persist after 2020.
Biogas for industrial process is supported where it replaces tax refundable energy and only that part. Relevant applications are specified in Annex 1. This limitation is subject to change.

Biogas in the car - without gas bottle.

Danish company presents biogas without gas bottle. So, even a VW UP can participate. The biogas is simply converted into liquid fuel (methanol), then it is stored, distributed and managed as easy as was it standard alcohol - and it can easily be blended into gasoline, as we do today with bio-ethanol.

Biomethanol - the motor fuel of the future..

Denmark does not have geothermal heat. Nor do we have anything like the Swedish forests. However, we do have something different and unique. We have farmers that can supplied us with biomass in quantities. Read the Kraftvarme NYT side 10-11 paper.
