  1. Development of bioenergetics in Lithuania Remigijus Bagdonas Chief specialist of Infrastructure, Land Reclamation and Cooperation Department of the Ministry of Agriculture of Lithuania “Biomass and bioenergy 2008” Tallinn, 28-29 February 2008

  2. General provisions • Lithuanian energetic sector is highly dependent on imported raw materials (imported – about 90 % ). • The law on Biofuel, biofuels for transport and bio-oils was adopted in 2004. • Government approved the programme for the promotion of the production and use of biofuel in 2004-2010. • Ministry of Agriculture is responsible for the development of the production of flammable liquid products. • The production of biofuels for transport started in Lithuania in 2004.

  3. The share of renewable energy sources (RES) in the total production of energy in Lithuania • 2004 – 8,0% (EU average 6,0%) • 2005 – 8,8% (EU average7,5%) • 2006 – 9,2% (EU average-9,0%) • 2010 – 12 % Biomass makes up to about 95% of total RES used for the production of energy(mainly wood).

  4. The share of electricity produced from renewable energy sources

  5. The production of biofuel for transport in Lithuania (thousand tons)

  6. Production capacities of biodiesel producers (thousand tons)

  7. Production capacities of bioethanol producers (thousand tons)

  8. The demand of rapeseed for biodiesel production

  9. The demand of crop (triticale, wheat, rye) for bioethanol production

  10. The use of biofuel for transport • Mandatory admixture of biofuel to fossil fuel was introduced in Lithuania. • Biodysel and bioetanol amounts by 5% in the blend with diesel and petrol. • Blending is carried out in the company ‘Mažeikių Nafta’. • Admixture capacity is 40 thousand tons of biodysel and 30 thousand tons of bioethanol per year. It is foreseen to increase capacity of admixture in the future.

  11. The promotion of biofuel for transport production State aid to biofuel for transport producers: • Biodiesel producers receive – 160 LTL (46 EUR) for one ton of rapeseed. • Bioethanol producers receive – 114 LTL (33 EUR) for one ton of grain crop. • Aid scheme (45 EUR) to energy crops producers was introduced in Lithuania from 2007.

  12. The demand for state aid to iofuel for transport producers from 2004 to 2010

  13. Tax exemptions • For biofuel (including pure vegetable oil)– 0 excise rate is applied; • The law provides for exemption from the tax on pollution for natural and legal persons that use biofuels for transport and have submitted documents confirming the consumption of biofuels for transport. • The electricity, produced from RES shall be purchased at the fixed price – 0.06 EUR/kWh. Also, producers of electricity from RES receive 40 % discount for connection to electricity supply system.

  14. Support available from EU programmes 2007-2013 • Obtain or modernize oil pressing equipments, storehouses and hothouses for raw materials. • Install in the rural areas small wind generators and biogas power-stations by the 250 KW. • To cover partly short rotation coppices plant expenses.

  15. Problems • Introduction of mandatory indicators in the EU regulation concerning percentages of biofuel for transport in the blend with fossil fuel. • To take steps for encouraging production of new vehicles with traditional engines capable of using a higher percentages (20,30 or more) of biofuel in the blend or even pure biofuels. • To take necessary measures to adopt EU standards which would allow to use of higher than 5 %, 10%, of percentage of biofuel in the blend.

  16. Implementation of the Memorandum Development of the cooperation in the field of renewable energy sources (RES). Introduction of the www.bioenergybatic.eu web page. Bioenergetics competence centre was founded under the Lithuanian University of Agriculture. Advisable to coordinate positions we present to EU in the field of biomass and biofuel for transport. To concentrate efforts of scientific research of the whole Baltic region to make common projects.
