UNIDO Expert Group Meeting on Industrial Energy Efficiency, Cogeneration and Climate Change • 2 - 3 December 1999, Vienna Biomass Cogeneration in ASEAN, GHG Mitigation Potential and the Barriers Dr. Ludovic Lacrosse, Arul Joe Mathias EC-ASEAN COGEN Programme
BIOMASS COGENERATION - APPLICATIONS • LARGE WOOD AND AGRO-INDUSTRIAL SECTORS • ASEAN countries are world leaders in many sectors • EC-ASEAN COGEN PROGRAMME FOCUSES ON • FOUR SECTORS • Rice • Sugar • Palm Oil • Wood
WOOD AND AGRO-INDUSTRIES - COMMON PRACTICE • Power requirements From grid or diesel genset(s) or inefficient biomass plant • Process heat requirements From oil boiler(s) or inefficient biomass boiler(s) • Biomass residues Dumping, open-burning, incineration or inefficient biomass boiler(s)
BIOMASS COGENERATION - CURRENT STATUS • Technology Most advanced technologies are available • Economic viability Pay-back period ranges from 2 to 5 years • Environmental performance Local, regional and global benefits • Others Sustainable development
SUGAR INDUSTRY Process energy required: 25-30 kWh/tonne of sugarcane 0.4 tonne of steam 1 tonne of sugarcane 100 - 120 kg sugar Waste: 290 kg Bagasse ~ 100 kWh
RICE INDUSTRY Process energy required: Paddy milling and drying: 30-60 kWh/tonne paddy 650-700 kg White rice 1 tonne of Paddy Waste: 220 kg Husks ~ 90-125 kWh

METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK FOR GHG EMISSION MITIGATION CALCULATIONS • INPUTS: • Amount of fossil fuel used • Fossil fuel properties • LHV • Emission factors • Efficiency/other data • INPUTS: • Power generation mix • Emission factors • Carbon content of fuels • Fuel properties • Specific fuel consumption • INPUTS: • Amount of biomass used • Biomass properties • N/C ratio • Emission factor • Other data • INPUTS: • Amount of biomass used • Biomass properties • LHV • Emission factors • Boiler efficiency/other data CALCULATIONS Emission from biomass use in open-burning (CO2, CH4, N2O) Emission from fossil fuel (CO2, CH4, N2O) Emission from grid/diesel genset (CO2, CH4, N2O) Emission from biomass in a combustion system (CO2, CH4, N2O) Global Warming Potential Emission from biomass in a combustion system (CO2, CH4, N2O in tonnes of CO2 equivalent) Emission from fossil fuel (CO2, CH4, N2O in tonnes of CO2 equivalent) Emission from grid (CO2, CH4, N2O in tonnes of CO2 equivalent) Emission from biomass use in open-burning (CO2, CH4, N2O in tonnes of CO2 equivalent) (+) (+) (+) (-) EMISSION MITIGATION POTENTIAL Note: Sustainable biomass is CO2 neutral
METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK FOR GHG EMISSION MITIGATION CALCULATIONS
CALCULATIONS FOR NATIONAL GRID EMISSIONS - DATA REQUIRED • Efficiency of coal, diesel, fuel oil and natural gas power plants • Lower heating values of fuels • Carbon content of fuel • Specific fuel consumption (kg/kWh) • Emission factors for utility boiler in kg/TJ • Electricity generation mix for the country • Transmission and distribution loss
ASEAN ELECTRICITY GENERATION MIX Source: AEEMTRC, 1996
EMISSION FACTORS • CO2 emission depends on: Amount of carbon content in fuel • SOx emissions depends on: Amount of sulphur content in fuel • Other emissions depends on: Fuel type, technology, operating conditions Maintenance and vintage of technology

CONCLUSION After having been demonstrated that clean and efficient biomass cogeneration projects are technically reliable and economically viable, ASEAN governments are now setting up the right institutional framework to encourage the implementation of such projects. Let us hope that this will help tap this huge renewable energy potential.
