4 Executive Summary Bionova Engineering conducted this study for Invest In Finland during summer Report provides information about organic waste treatment plants, organic waste treatment market and costs of treatment and including future projections and major drivers behind the new opportunities. Landfill gas production is excluded from the study. Biogas production has a remarkable business opportunity in Finland. Only less than 1 % of manure is used as a raw material for biogas production and only 35 % of organic wastes and sludge is at the moment used for biogas production. Energy crops are not used for biogas production at all. To reach the targets of the newest governmental climate and energy strategy for the year 2020, biogas production in reactor plants shoud be more than doubled. This would mean investment boost of more than 100 MEUR before year Finnish organic waste treatment market is now also facing interesting opportunity, because of plans to set up a feed-in tariff for biogas production. Size of feed-in tariff is suggested to be 18 centimes/kwh el, but final decision is missing. For the market growth level and conditions of the biogas feed-in tariff is very important. Already now it is possible to get investment subsidies from ministry of agriculture and forestry and ministry of employment and economy. Separately collected bio-waste from private customers and public sector forms transport and treatment market in Finland equals to 20,9 MEUR / year according to recent study funded by the key players in the Finnish waste branch. In addition there is 2,8 MEUR / year equipment market. Total market value can be estimated to be 30 MEUR / year when also private sector is included. Treatment costs of organic waste differ a lot depending on scale and technology. Usually cost is between EUR/ton, some solutions in small scale lead to as high as EUR/ton cost. Total amount of organic waste treatment units in Finland is as of writing 259 when counting biogas, stack and (closed) plants. In addition there is a few other plants using different technologies such as bioethanol production and chemical treatment. Most of the plants are very small plants processing organic waste, usually waste water sludge, from a village or small. When counting only plants having capacity larger than t/a, total number of plants is 31. These exist mainly in big cities, some are also centralized treatment plants of certain counties. There are in total 222 working plants in Finland. Other common treatment solutions are biogas plants (35) and rendering plants (2). When comparing only the biggest 31 plants, 16 of these are biogas plants, 13 plants and 2 rendering plants. Lists of all biogas, and stack plants are shown in three appendixes.

5 1 Size of organic waste treatment market Waste management is a relatively small but vitally important business fragment in Finland. Ministry of Environment, Finnish Solid Waste Association and the Association of Environmental Enterprises have funded a study where economical significance and costs of Finnish waste management were examined. 1 Report presents the value of business for different waste fractions. According to study separately collected bio-waste from households and public sector (companies excluded) forms totally approximately 23,7 MEUR / year market. Transport and treatment costs are 20,9 MEUR and equipment market is 2,8 MEUR / year. Half of the bio-waste transport and treatment service is offered by private sector companies and half by the municipalities (both about 10,4 MEUR / year). Market for the industrial bio-waste treatment is not specified in the study. There are several major businesses for which organic waste disposal accounts for significant portion of their costs, however as this disposal business is carried out by very heterogenous actors, it s total value is difficult to estimate. According to statistics concerning organic waste treatment plants in Finland, it can be estimated that approximately one third of organic waste is treated by the private sector. Total value of the market can then be estimated to be as much as 30 MEUR / year. 1 Report: Jätehuollon taloudellinen merkitys ja kustannukset Bionova Engineering Market research: Organic waste treatment in Finland 5/30

6 2 Organic waste treatment units in Finland Organic waste and by-products treatment is at the moment operated in 259 units (table 1), when counting, biogas and rendering plants. There are also a few plants which will start operating soon and even more plants are planned, waiting for the feed-in tariff for electricity produced from biogas. Most operating plants are based on, either stack or some type of closed, especially in small scale is the most popular way to treat different kind of organic waste. In large scale biogas can reach profitability, majority of the biggest organic waste and by-products processing units use biogas technology. There are also some other technologies used, for example bioethanol production and different chemical process, however these technologies are used in less than 10 units in total at the moment. Table 1: Different technologies used in different scale to treat organic waste Capacity, t/a Biogas Composting Rendering All types < t/a t/a >2000 t/a Total Biogas plants In 2007, approximately 138,8 million m 3 of biogas was produced in the Finnish landfills and reactor plants. However only approximately 30 million m 3 of this amount was produced in reactor plants, which can be considered as organic waste or by-product treatment plants. The plants treat different kinds of organic wastes, sludges and manure. This contains about 200 GWh energy which is used to produce electricity, heat or process energy. Figure 1. Biogas production for each plant type in Wwtp refers to wastewater treatment plant Bionova Engineering Market research: Organic waste treatment in Finland 6/30

7 Most of the biogas stems from landfills in Finland, but the lack of nearby energy consumption limits landfill gas utilization. In Finland it is obligatory to collect landfill gas, because of this most of the landfill gas investments for biogas production are made until now. During autumn 2009 Helsinki Metropolitan Council (YTV) is building a huge landfill gas power plant in Ämmässuo landfill. The power plant will have capacity of 40 MW. Municipal wastewater treatment plants operate rather constantly, so the biogas volumes can only slightly be enhanced through process optimization. Until now municipal waste water treatment plant produce majority of all biogas produced in reactor plants and produced energy is used for running the waste water treatment plant. The largest landfills have already been shut down and the gas production will reduce in years to come. The biggest biogas potential lies therefore in manure and energy crops when thinking about new biogas production in reactors. There is also energy potential left in the treatment of industrial organic waste. Also it can be noticed than in northern Finland waste water sludge is also not yet processed in biogas plants (figure 2). Figure 2. Working and planned biogas plants in Finland, Finland s Environmental Administration, Regional environmental centres and Bionova Engineering.

8 In the table below biggest biogas producers (feedstock capacity over t/a) in Finland are listed. All plants can be found in appendix 1. Most operators are municipal units and connected to waste water treatment. Biovakka Oy s Vehmaa plant processes pig manure and industrial waste and Lakeuden Etappi s and Stormossen s plants process separate collected bio-waste too. Total number of biogas plants with capacity more than t/a is 16. When comparing capacity to plants, it must be remembered that capacity of biogas plants usually refers to sludge capacity, in which content of total solids is usually between 3-15 %. In plants raw material is usually much dryer.

9 It can estimated, that primary energy potential for biogas in Finland is at least 2800 GWh / year. This approximation is divided in manure and organic waste. There is 2300 GWh / year energy potential for manure, of which only less than 1 % is exploited at the moment. Organic wastes and sludge have potential of 500 GWh / year, of which approximately 35 % is exploited. Renewable greens are not used in Finnish biogas plants excluding random tests or scientific research. In the future these are also possible raw materials for biogas plants, however in the Finnish conditions it is not probable that a major share of fields would be used for biogas plants energy crops in the future. 2.2 Composting plants Centralized is widely used to treat separated bio-waste, digested wastewater sludge and fur animal manure in Finland. It s fairly inexpensive method, but its weaknesses include long treatment time, large need of space, uneven result and odour problems. Sludge is often composted in stacks and much of the biowaste is post composted in landfills. The product is mainly used for landscape maintenance and especially as fertilizing earth layer when covering landfills. Most of the landfill covering has already been accomplished, though. This results in the need of new applications for compost products both in landscape maintenance, forestry and agriculture. Most of the composted sludge is stored because of low demand. In practice, the goals of the national waste management plan have not been met. Composting plants can be divided to two groups, stack plants and closed plants (referred as plants in official use). There are in total more than 200 plants, of which more than ¾ are stack plants, which is highly common way to treat organic waste in the smallest scale. Typical example is of waste water sludge from some village-scale waste water treatment plant or separately collected bio-waste from a small county or. Composting plants are located all over in Finland in about 200 municipalities (out of about 400 in total). In the table 2 the largest stack and closed () plants are shown. These plants process more than t/a organic material. All plants can be found in appendixes 2 and 3.

These are mainly animal wastes, which treatment is regulated so that those must be rendered. For example animals which die in farms in western and southern Finland must be collected and rendered. Also incineration of animal fat can be done as a part of processes in rendering plants. At the moment main part of animal fat produced in rendering plants is used as a raw material for biodiesel production. In Finland rendering plants are located in Honkajoki and Kaustinen in western Finland, operators are Honkajoki Oy and Findest Protein Oy. Honkajoki is also main shareholder in Findest Protein Oy. Rendering plants in Finland and approximations of their capacity is shown in table 3. Honkajoki Oy has plans to triple its production, based on the fact that nowadays certain waste types are exported to other countries for treatment. On the other hand some waste is also imported to Finland for treatment.

11 Waste burning (burning municipal waste without very detailed separation) is a common solution of waste treatment in several European countries. In Finland however there is only one this type of plant in city of Turku. Right now discussions and legal processes are going on to construct several new municipal waste burning plants to reduce amount of waste going to landfills. These processes are going on for example in Helsinki metropolitan area. However it will take years before all processes are over and plants are running.

12 3 Future projections of organic waste treatment 3.1 Planned organic waste treatment plants and financial value of investments In Finland there are several on-going biogas plant projects, which should be implemented in few years. However development of investments is connected to decision on the feed-in tariff for biogas, which does t exist yet. The list of plants in table 4 is based on data collected from Finland s Environmental Administration, Bionova Engineering, Finnish Biogas Association and few other sources. Only such plans have been listed that already have an investor or environmental permit. The plants under preliminary design have not been taken into account, number of these is remarkable because of plans to set a feed-in tariff. If all the plants will be constructed, the total investment is estimated to be 70 million EUR. Table 4.

13 Because of feed-in tariff, most investment plans are connected to biogas production. There is a few plant plans too, which should start operating soon. plants are planned for example by Hämeen Hyötymateriaalit Oy in Hämeenkyrö for the treatment of waste water sludge and Veljekset Luttinen Ay in Tyrnävä for the treatment of potato waste. Closed plants are planned by MahtiRahti Ky in Jaala and Biopallo Systems Oy in Iisalmi. Other plans connected to organic waste treatment are mainly connected to bioethanol production by ST1 Biofuels Oy. Also Honkajoki Oy plans to increase capacity of their rendering plant. New governmental climate and energy strategy for Finland was introduced in November To reach the targets of the strategy, biogas should be produced 500 GWh / year until 2020 in reactor plants. Since now less than 200 GWh / year is produced, there is a need for significant amount of new plants. Harshly it can estimated, that approximately 30 new plants with the investments of more than 100 MEUR would be needed to fullfill the targets, althought total demands depend on technologies and raw materials used. At the moment (autumn 2009) a lot of new entrepreneurs are interested in biogas production of agricultural wastes and manure. On the other hand municipal waste management companies are also interested in biogas as an alternative for. Final decisions of raw materials, plant sizes and technologies are not yet made because of lack of decision about feed-in tariff. (see more: Chapter 3.2.3) 3.2 Public subsidies offered for organic waste treatment plants As part of EU s climate actions, Finnish renewable energy production should have a share of 38 % by Utilization of organic waste in energy production is favourable to reach this goal. Two ministries (Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, Ministry of Employment and Economy) offer grants to accelerate green investments in Finland. Another driver can be feed-in tariff for biogas, a guaranteed price-level in electricity production. National bio-waste strategy was composed in 2004 to fulfil EU s landfill directive, which targets to improve bio-waste separation and treatment. It states that 40 % of organic waste in 2009 and 25 % of organic waste in 2016 is allowed to be placed on landfills. Hence there will be more organic waste available for treatment plants and more business possibilities. Bionova Engineering Market research: Organic waste treatment in Finland 13/30

14 3.2.1 Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, grant for bioenergy production In the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry the grant for bioenergy production is a new tool to support decentralized bioenergy production and entrepreneurship in the countryside. The grant targets to utilize more efficiently farm-based feedstock for biogas, bio-waste from food industry and sludge from different sources. First applications were handled in 2008 and the next possibility will be given in 2009 if budget enables funding. Grants can be offered to companies, municipalities or other communities. The maximum level of funding is 45 % of the total costs. As exception middle-sized enterprises can receive 55 % and small enterprises 65 % of their expenses. Only those projects that would not realize without funding will be accepted. Environmental effects of the investment must be evaluated before application. 2 In biogas plant projects will receive grants, which corresponds to 8 million EUR. All investments have a total value of 22 million EUR and for almost all of them the public funding was 35 %. Preference was set to projects that - Used manure and plant-based biomass as feedstock - Had a large capacity - Were located in the area with several animal farms - Will provide educational information 3 This source of funding is expected to be fully replaced by the feed-in tariff Ministry of Employment and Economy, Energy grant Energy grant is discretionary directed to projects and plant investments that decrease CO2 emissions. It aims at either replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy or saving energy. Biogas plants fall into the first category and have been granted for example in Kitee. Companies, communities and associations can apply for a grant but private persons, residences and farms are excluded. Farms will be subsidised by Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. At national level, totally 55 million EUR of grants will be distributed annually and an extra budget of 30 million EUR is approved for Ministry of Employment and Economy aligns regularly how different forms of energy will be subsidised. In general, municipalities can receive a grant of % for energy surveys. In investment projects the grant can cover % of the total value. In practise the level of % is reached to be able to start as many projects as possible. Energy grant is meant for investments 2 Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, Vainio-Mattila, B., Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, Bionova Engineering Market research: Organic waste treatment in Finland 14/30

15 that exceed 8000 EUR. The largest projects (over 3 million EUR) should be forwarded to the Ministry of Employment and Economy but other applications are handled regionally. 4 This source of funding is expected to be fully replaced by the feed-in tariff Feed-in Tariff for Electricity Produced by Biogas Government has set a goal to increase electricity production in the biogas plants by implementing a socalled feed-in tariff. It refers to a guaranteed electricity price-level for energy producers. Legislation should be completed by autumn 2009 and feed-in tariff system would start in The amount of feed-in tariff and the mechanism of the system is essential in the biogas business. So far only recommendations for feed-in tariff have been summarized in the report of Ministry of Employment and Economy ( ). 6 The working group proposes the prize-level of 18 c/kwh. They also compare feed-in tariffs in other countries and examine different feed-in tariff systems, effect of plant sizes and types, controlling mechanisms and time span. If tariff would be 18 c/kwh, it is estimated that 0,5-0,6 TWh of electricity is produced by biogas in In this case, renewable energy would be subsidised by million EUR annually. One of the challenges is to support biogas as vehicle fuel as well. If only electricity production is subsidised, it leaves transport sector in secondary position. To avoid this, there are some plans to cover both electricity and fuel production in the biogas tariff. 4 Ministry of Employment and Economy, Vainio-Mattila, B., Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, Bionova Engineering Market research: Organic waste treatment in Finland 15/30

16 4 Typical treatment of certain organic waste types Current aspects of organic waste treatment methods are shortly discussed in this chapter. Treatment solutions for different organic waste fractions are presented and completed by economical evaluation of treatment costs. 4.1 Treatment solutions Municipal sludge Municipal sludge is typically processed in the wastewater treatment plants. The largest treatment plants are biogas reactors and have been operating since several decades e.g. in Helsinki and Tampere. In the smaller towns digestion hasn t been seen as economical solution yet. In the future treatment plants are to be renovated or re-built, which brings biogas production into consideration again. The rise of energy costs puts pressure to use more and more anaerobic digestion, because it enables the heat and electricity production for the wastewater treatment. Also possible feed-in tariff may increase amount of biogas reactors in small waste water treatment plants Treatment of industrial sludge Industrial sludge is commonly treated in the municipal wastewater treatment plant or regional plant, if the capacity is sufficient. So far, this kind of outsourcing has been the most efficient way, since industrial players can concentrate on their core competences. If regional waste treatment supply doesn t meet the industrial demand, other solutions must be found. Some of the sludge can be reused, which turns waste into product like animal feed or process feedstock. If demand of such by-product would decrease, it must be treated as waste. Then the most probable options are transporting the waste to a further treatment () or constructing an own plant next to. In the second case, chemical-biological wastewater treatment plant, biogas digestion unit, or a combination of these are to be considered Bio-waste treatment The most common way to treat bio-waste is to compost it, but biogas plants are being planned, too. In the plants some problems may arise from increasing storage volumes and actual use for compost. Centralized digestion and post- plants, where compost is for instance refined into Bionova Engineering Market research: Organic waste treatment in Finland 16/30

17 pellets, could offer an interesting opportunity in the future. Dry fermentation of municipal bio-waste has become common especially in Germany Treatment of agricultural waste Agricultural sludge refers mainly to cattle and pig manure, which is applied to fields as fertilizer. However, raw manure causes odour problems for the villages and nutrient leakage into water systems. Digestion treatment helps to neutralize odours and reduces insoluble nitrogen compounds. That is, less nutrients drift into lakes and rivers. In addition, biogas plants improve energy independence in the countryside. Feed-in tariff can also increase profitability of agricultural biogas plants. Biogas plants can be constructed either farm-based or several farms can form a centralized unit. Until today there is only a few biogas plants build based on agricultural waste, main reason is lack of economical profitability. 4.2 Costs of treatment Pöyry Environment Oy has researched cost efficiency of different sludge treatment methods in Finland. The results are summarized by Bionova Engineering in Table 5. 7 Table 5: Sludge treatment methods and costs. 8 Treatment method (post treatment) Treatment cost EUR/t Additional notes Composting The common way of treatment Biogas reactor and post More economical in large plants Biogas reactor and thermal drying More expensive compared to post- Biogas process for manure Fertilizer for fields cheapest option, if possible Thermal drying Requires cheap energy for steam production Incineration Incineration plants still under planning Kemicond Not many experiences yet Lime stabilisation Suitable for small-scale process 1. Biogas process cost efficient in large scale Summary Large variation, economy of scale important 2. Feed-in tariff can be crucial benefit for smallscale biogas plants Refering to Table 5 and appendixes, biogas process is more cost efficient compared to in large scale. Post-treatment of digested material includes application on fields (animal manure) or post. On the other hand small-scale biogas production hasn t yet gained competitiveness compared to other technologies. The possible feed-in tariff can affect positively both the profitability of large biogas plants and the competitiveness of small-scale biogas plants in the future. 7 Lietteenkäsittelyn nykytila Suomessa ja käsittelymenetelmien kilpailukyky report, 8 Pöyry Environment Oy (2007): Lietteenkäsittelyn nykytila Suomessa ja käsittelymenetelmien kilpailukyky -selvitys Bionova Engineering Market research: Organic waste treatment in Finland 17/30
