About this Event
Denmark has been an early leader in decarbonisation and is inspiring many countries around the world. Bioenergy is a cornerstone in the Danish renewable energy mix covering more than 75% of the total Danish renewable energy consumption (2021). Due to the extensive use of bioenergy, there is an abundance of expertise available in this field however Denmark has utilised biomass to produce bioenergy for decades and is a leader within research and development throughout the entire value chains for utilisation of biomass and organic waste residues for energy production.
In 2015, the French parliament adopted a new climate regulation, including an ambitious roadmap (Stratégie Nationale Bas Carbone) to transition to a low carbon, circular and sustainable economy in 2050. For the French industry, this means reducing its emissions by 81% in 2050. In France, the industry represents 20% of GreenHouse Gas emissions. The goal is to reduce the emissions from these sites by 50% in 2032. To achieve this, industrial players have to work on many decarbonisation levers e.g. improving energy efficiency, replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources.
Available funding in France to help accelerate the decarbonisation of the industry:
· Within the framework of France 2030, an additional €5.6 billion will be dedicated to decarbonising French industry and meeting climate commitments.
· ADEME allocates €820 million in 2024 in heat funding.
· The European Commission has approved a €900 million French scheme to support companies investing in the use of biomass and renewable hydrogen in energy production and fuel production.
Cogeneration and process steam boilers using biomass in different qualities and forms. Denmark and Danish technology providers of biomass boilers have for decades specialised in diversifying into the use of many residues from forestry, agriculture and industry sourced locally and to underline the circular economy. There is a potential to use other biomass and residues e.g. straw, sunflower husks, corn cobs, waste wood.
To integrate a biomass- and residue-fired cogeneration/boiler plant into industrial production processes, several objectives often need to be considered e.g.: variation in factory processes, optimising energy efficiencies, utilise in-house by-products and waste streams, achieve high utilisation rate.
The Danish Embassy in Paris invites you to a conference “Speed up decarbonisation process and improve energy efficiency in industries” on the 18th of June 2024 in Maison du Danemark, Paris. Participation at the event will provide a deep knowledge regarding the potential of using local and diversified bio-residues, related costs on advanced boiler technological solutions (capacity between 1 to 170 MWth), fuel types, maintenance and optimisation of water consumption in relation to the production of steam and regulations and technologies when producing steam, as well as the continuously more stringent emissions.
