"Gear up for Asia's Growing Biomass Demand for PowerGeneration"

"Global Buyers & Asia Sellers Meet!"

"Pellets Coming to Asia"

 

Synopsis in Korean

 

"South Korean assembly approves renewable energy bill... dubbed Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) and submitted in late 2008, to require 14 state-run and private power utilities to boost supplies of renewable energy starting in 2012, according to a statemeng from the ministry of knowledge economy"
~ Reuters, 18 March 2010

According to Poyry, biomass is the only renewable energy source that is tradable and as policy incentives are getting stronger the biomass markets are growing.

 

In 2010, the global pellet market size was around 16 million tonnes whereas the production capacity totalled 31 million tonnes per annum, mainly concentrated to Europe (19 million tpa.) and North America (8 million tpa.). The strong driver for both regions is the European emission trading scheme, which incentivise European energy utilities to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions. Increasing incentives are expected to make the market grow to 46 million tonnes in 2020 (CAGR ~11%), representing a market value of almost USD 8 billion.

 

While Asia is emerging with key contribution to this growth, the questions prevails on the sustainability of supply of biomass, indigenous agricultural and forestry waste or internationally tradable woody and agro biomass such as wood pellets, wood chips, palm kernel shells, rice husk and etc. Warranted by its Renewable Portfolio Standards, wood pellets suppliers from the West are looking towards East, South Korea and Japan, for exports opportunities. Palm kernel shells (PKS), favored for its high energy/calorific values, and rice husks, are also sought after by North Asian power utilities and industrial plants. Thus, with economically viable policy and incentives, will South Korea and Japan set to drive demand for biomass up?

 

CMT's 2nd Biomass Pellets Trade Asia is calling for all participants in the value chain of the "biomass to power generation" to Seoul this September to make this "Global Buyers & Asia Sellers Meet" happen.

 

Also, the conference presents the 2nd edition of the post conference workshop on Torrefaction Technologies and Economics. Facilitated by commercial and technology experts in this field, this half-day workshop will make exclusive focus on the economics, processes, specification and handling of converting agro-biomass into torrefied materials and pellets.

 

Be at this exciting event and make trade happen. CMT's 2nd Biomass Pellets Trade Asia offers extensive business-matching and networking opportunities with Asian and global stakeholders in one venue!

While Denmark was an early mover on green growth, Korea is a fast mover, so said Danish Climate and Energy Minister Lykke Friis.

The two countries formed a “Green Growth Alliance,” under which they will collaborate on developing eco-friendly technologies and adopt joint action plans, when President Lee Myung-bak visited Copenhagen in May.

 

A broad range of initiatives will encourage a shift to biomass in the power plans of major cities, increase consumption of renewable energy, and promote more efficiency energy use. Initiative include biomass and biogas, wind power, intelligent energy networks, energy efficiency and research, development and demonstration activities.

 

(Source: Korea Times, 28 June 2011)

 

Korea is now a fast mover in the biomass industry. The Korean Government unveiled a $38 billion ”Green New Deal” plan to stimulate job creation and revitalize the economy. The plan involves 9 core projects and 27 rotating projects which are expected to create 960,000 new jobs during 2009-2012. The Korean Government has also committed to a fiscal investment of 2 percent of GDP per year for the implementation of the five-year plan.

 

Under the ambitious “Energy Strategy 2050” policy roadmap, Denmark aims to be fully independent of fossil fuels by 2050. Being a role model for Korea, as well as in taking the path toward a green economy, Denmark is a key market in the biomass world.

 

2nd Biomass Pellets Trade Asia, to be held on 7-8 September in Seoul, will explore the possibilities of exporting biomass in Asia to feed Europe’s growing demand. Sessions featuring Europe’s experience and technological prowess are also included in this 1.5 day event in Korea.

GS Electric and Power Services, a power subsidiary under GS Group, said that it will build a “green” high-efficiency liquefied natural gas combined cycle power plant in Dangjin, South Chungcheong Province.

The firm spent 460 billion won ($420 million) for the plant which will be completed by August 2013. GS EPS currently operates two other power facilities there.
The new 400 megawatt-facility boasts eco-friendliness and high-efficiency as it consumes less fuel than existing LNG combined cycle power plants and thus emits less carbon, GS EPS officials said.


“Through the construction of the plant, GS EPS aims to become a leading power provider in Korea. The facility will be an eco-friendly one which minimizes emission amid global climate change,” GS EPS CEO Lee Wan-kyoung said at the event.
In addition to its domestic operation, GS EPS has been stepping up efforts to expand its offshore business. GS EPS has launched the construction of a biomass power plant in Shandong, China earlier this month and is planning to begin a clean development mechanism business, a kind of carbon trading, there.
