8. illustration of the transportation problem:

9. Supply sources A hypothetical example ca 400 MW thermal power plant ca 5% of electricity from biomass

10. Źródło: Opracowanie własne 500 tons/day, i.e 50 trucks with 10 tonnes load per day times 100 km gives 5000 km/day (one way) i.e. Moscow – Lisbon return every day i.e. ca. 2000-3000 litres of Diesel oil + (LCA) energy embedded in truck maintenance & construction, maintenance of roads, etc gives about 25% loss of energy at the power station gate Moscow - Lisbon via PL 5100 km

11. examples of technical problems behind the power station gate:

13. The adverse effect of co-firing of biomass on the heat exchanger in the boiler S&F Processes Slagging and fouling Due to high content of alkaline compounds in biomass Corrosion High temperature corrosion Chloride Chlorine compounds in biomass

14. Pipe of the secondary superheater X-ray pitting corrosion

16. POWER GENERATING COMPANIES WOULD NEVER DO THAT WERE THEY NOT HEAVILY COMPENSATED HOW IS IT DONE?

17. FOR EACH MWh of „ GREEN ELECTRICITY” POWER GENERATORS GET ABOUT 3 TIMES MORE THAN they get for a coal-based MWh t his is (ca. 70 EUR / MWh) this is a „hidden subsidy” which costs the Polish electrcity consumers ca. 700mln EUR/year !

19. Central Europe Project 4BIOMASS opinion survey on a sample of 1221 biomass experts from: Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia www.4biomass.eu *Authors: Katharina Renner, University of Vienna (statistical analysis) Johannes Schmidl, Kerstin Schilcher Austrian Energy Agency Vienna, September 2011

20. Weighted answers to the question: Which kind of biomass use will be most important to achieve the environmental -goals in your country ?

28. Examples of applications Chrzelice 100 kW Location: Chrzelice ( southern Poland ) Boiler type: EKOPAL RM 30 (100 kW) Application: heating of two single-family houses

29. AGH, 180 kW
