What are we going to do in BioSurf I

• The GHG reduction certification is an important topic within the BioSurf project. Within this topic we will address a number of issues:

1. How big are the potential emission savings from Biogas/Biomethane production and use?

What are we going to do in BioSurf II

• The GHG reduction certification is an important topic within the BioSurf project. Within this topic we will address a number of issues:

2. What are the biggest drivers of emissions and what could be done to reduce them?

What are we going to do in BioSurf III

• The GHG reduction certification is an important topic within the BioSurf project. Within this topic we will address a number of issues:

3. Develop a set of simple and robust recommendations for a GHG calculation methodology suitable for biomethane.

Welcome to the workshop on environmental impact assessment

Page 7: Workshop „Assessment of environmental impacts from the production and use of biomethane“ Stefan Majer, Maik Budzinski Kick-off BIOSURF, Vienna 27/02/2015

• What are your experiences with LCAs for Biogas/Biomethane production and use?

• What are the most interesting scoping questions from your point of view?

• biggest drivers, • env. impacts, • most preferable use of biomethane, • optimisation, • etc.

Questions for the Workshop I

Page 8: Workshop „Assessment of environmental impacts from the production and use of biomethane“ Stefan Majer, Maik Budzinski Kick-off BIOSURF, Vienna 27/02/2015

• What are the most pressing issues and challenges with regards to GHG-calculations that should be addressed within the Biosurf project?

- methodology- data- ??

• What kind of products would be helpful for you? What do you expect?

- guidelines- focus on specific issues (manure, methane leakage,

reference syst., etc.)?

Data Methodology (acc. to EU RED)

- potential methane emission reduction due to processing of:

- allocation of by-products,

• organic waste, - credits for avoided emissions,

• agricultural by-products (incl. manure),

- emission factors,

- methane leakage, - etc.

- substitution of mineral fertiliser,

discussion of best available data and highlighting further need for research

recommendations for the adaptation of the RED GHG calculation methodology
