Programme The programme 7 of the “Second bio-methane day – The European projects SEBE and GreenGasGrids”, (second Italian info day) consisted of two main parts. The first part of the conference was opened by Sergio Piccinini (CRPA), who characterised the Italian situation related to biogas (at the end of 2012 about 1,000 biogas plants with an installed electrical power of >750 MWe were in operation). The subsequent presentations of the first main part dealt with SEBE, the situation and future prospects of the sector biogas / bio-methane in Germany (Olga Panic, University of Stuttgart) and the regulatory framework for the biogas sector in Italy (by Sofia Mannelli - President of Green Chemistry Bionet). The President of the Italian Biogas Consortium, Piero Gattoni, concluded with a speech the first part of the conference and introduced the discussions on the contents of the morning. The second part of the conference focused on the project GreenGasGrids. The main topics dealt with were the state of art of bio-methane in Europe with particular attention to its use in the transport sector. Lorenzo Maggioni (Italian Biogas Consortium), opened with a presentation on the project GreenGasGrids the second main part of the 2nd National Info Day in Italy - followed by speeches from some partners of the GGG project, namely Attila Kovacs, representative of European Biogas Association; Jaime Del Alamo, NGVA Europe and Mathieu Dumont, NL Agency. The presentations and speeches lead to discussions about the opportunities for biomethane as transport fuel (Paolo Vettori – Assogasmetano and Flavio Merigo – NVG System) and about applied technologies in a successful purification of biogas to bio methane process (Lorenzo Spada – Air Liquide Italia). The second Italian info day was concluded with the presentation of the operator of the first Italian upgrading plant (Chiatra Gamberini – SAFE). The conference was moderated by a famous journalist who is an expert on the renewable energy sector. Throughout the conference, there was the possibility for open discussion among the participants and with the speakers. Conclusions of the event For Italy, the Consorzio Italiano Biogas estimates a demand potential of 7-8 billion nm 3 of bio-methane per year – which is equal to the production of natural gas in Italy. In relation to the outcome of the round table discussion it can be concluded that bio-methane is a great opportunity for Italy because of: Environmental reasons Greenhouse gas emissions by vehicles and electricity/heat generation in the urban area can be reduced in terms of maximum reduction at the lowest cost in relation to avoidance of greenhouse gas emissions and in terms of 7 http://www.innovationcloud-expo.com/files/convegni/convegni-eseminari/2013/Innovation%20Cloud%202013_CIB-CRPA_Biogas%20e%20biometano.pdf Page 20 of 34
mitigation of environmental impacts of conventional agricultural practices (reduction of synthetic fertilizer, livestock manure management); Economic effects Construction and operation of bio- methane plants could have a significant impact on the economic sector of the country, both in agriculture and industry; Consumers benefits The production of bio- methane could drastically reduce the expenses on natural gas imports and the biomass technologies could be improved even more. In addition, bio-methane could provide an alternative fuel, at competitive prices, in particular in the transport sector. For these reasons it is important that the Italian Government publishes new decrees (economic incentives and technical parameters) for the production of biomethane provided by Legislative Decree 28/2011.
