Welcome to the
SmaRTGas Baltic pre-meeting
29 October 2015

SmaRTGas – the idea
The idea is to connect international and national experts
conducting spearhead R&D on small scale gasification and
methanation with stakeholders interested in the biomethane
market opportunities including upstream actors (forestry,
agriculture, waste management etcetera) in order to take
advantage of locally available feedstock and promote regional
development and create new job opportunities.
Why small scale (~10 MWth)?
•
•
•
•
•
•
Lower financial risk due to a lower investment cost
Easier to secure the feedstock supply
Easier logistic since less feedstock is needed
Easier to match excess heat with local heat or steam demand
Possible synergies with existing biogas plants
Indirect gasification allows high conversion efficiency even in
small scale plants
Are there any available technologies and what about the costs?
Technology study
Study on small and medium scale
bioSNG production.
Exist technologies adopted for small
and medium scale (5-30 MWth)
Specific investment cost for a small
scale plant (5.6 MWth) lower than for
the 32 MWth GoBiGas I plant!

Market study – production cost
The bioSNG production cost based on
gasification of wood chips in the 5.6 MWth
scale is in an interval of commercial
interest!
~80 €cent/Nm3 is of commercial interest in
Sweden

Investigate the conditions to build up
an innovation cluster
Ongoing project coordinated by Renewtec AB in collaboration
with BioMil AB and the project partners: www.smartgas.se
The project is co-financed by Region Skåne.
Next step - Create and establish the
SmaRTGas innovation cluster
The ambition is to apply for public funding (~400,000€) for a
three year project (2016-2018) at the end of this year at the
Swedish Energy Agency.
Following partners have already signed LOI:s regarding
participation and co-financing of the innovation cluster.
TU Vienna, Fraunhofer UMSICHT, TU München, Chalmers, Luleå
University of Technology, Paul Scherrer Institute, UCSD, Institute
for Biogas, Waste Management & Energy, Montanuniversität
Leoben, German Biomass Research Centre (DBFZ), VTT and TU
Berlin…
…and many more are on their way!

REGATEC 2016 is directed towards microbial and thermochemical conversion
of biomass/waste to biomethane, Power-to-gas, gasification of biomass/
waste for CHP production, and cryogenic upgrading/liquefaction. REGATEC
includes plenary and parallel sessions, a poster session, an exhibition and
excellent opportunities to network and find new collaboration and business
partners. 60+ experts will highlight the latest advances.
