Overall share of energy from renewable sources in gross final consumption

Monitoring national RES targets (2009/28/CE directive)

The 2009/28/EC Directive establishes for Italy a mandatory quota, by 2020, of 17% of RES in total gross final energy consumptions in 2020 . In 2014 the quota was 17,1%. In 2015, according preliminary data, the quota was 17,3%.

Electricity production evolution from bioenergy power plants

Electricity sector and Bioenergy

Bioenergy production in 2014 amounted to 18,732 GWh (+9.6% compared to 2013). 2014 production is due mainly to biogas power plants (43.8%) followed by solid biomass (including wastes - 33.1%) and bioliquids (23,2%). According to initial estimates, bioenergy production in 2015 should be about 18,894 GWh.

The aim is: to allocate priority wood biomass, mechanically treated, to heating sector; to promote the efficient use of waste and by-products and the use of biogas from livestock waste or by-products from agriculture, agro-food, agro-industrial, farming and forestry; the realization and the exercise, by the farmers, of biomass and biogas plants functional in agricultural activities, in particular microCHP; to use sustainable bioliquids and biomethane in transport.

In all procedures, for wind on-shore and hydro registries, submitted applications exceeded by far the available capacity.

Extra request has also been recorded for biomass, biogas, sewage gas, landfill gas and sustainable bioliquids registry.

Especially for bioenergies, a consistent part of the originally admitted capacity has lost incentivation rights (before entering into operation) because of rejections and expirations

Auctions: results for 1st, 2nd and 3rd procedures

Wind sector proved to be comfortable with Auction mechanism, showing an increasing bidding capacity, from 88.4% to 354% of the available power capacity.

This turned into increasing tariff bid reductions :

• from 2.5% to 24.4% for 1st proc.

• from 9.5% to 19.0% for 2nd proc.

• from 26.4% to 30.0% for 3rd proc.

Also large biomass plants have been granted.

Grant

Heating Account

Incentives are intended to support part of investment costs through yearly installments and are granted for a period varying between 1 and 5 years, depending on the type of intervention realized (heat pumps, biomass boilers and stoves, solar thermal, small energy efficiency projects) [Financed by the gas tariffs ]

Quota-obligation scheme

White certificates

White certificates are tradable instruments giving proof of the achievement of end-use energy savings through energy efficiency improvement initiatives and projects. It is based on the obligation for electricity and natural-gas distributors to achieve yearly quantitative primary-energy saving targets [ Financed by distributors, gas and electric tariffs ].

Fiscal Incentives

Tax credit Government provides a tax detraction (from 36% to 65%) of the expenses for interventions of energy re-qualification on existing buildings, including the replacement of old heating systems with new RES heating devices [ Financed by taxation ]

Yearly cumulative spending limit:

• Italy the main producer. Only 7% of biofuels non-EU (because there was EU-premium. Not yet)

• Rapeseed oil and palm oil the main raw materials. Source: GSE

Bioenergy Trade

• In almost all EU countries producers mainly operate by purchasing raw material from other countries (exception Germany and France)

• The success of EU rapeseed due to the EU premium (no more into force). Source: GSE

Transport sector: evolution of the consumption of bioenergy (Eurostat and GSE estimates based on the NES objectives*)

(*) Consumption of electricity in transport is excluded. Only sustainable biofuels are counted, without considering the rewarding recognised for specific biofuels (known as double counting).

Quota-obligation scheme

Biofuel certificates

Gasoline and diesel distribution companies have the obligation to sell a quantity of sustainable biofuels equal to a certain quota of the total fossil fuel energy content sold in the same year (quota obligation). The companies can fulfill their obligation by blending biofuels with fossil fuels or, also, by acquiring the equivalent quota of certificates. Double counting mechanism is in force for specific biofuels.

The DM 10/10/2014 provides a trajectory until 2022 of biofuel blending obligation quota with a sub-quota on advanced biofuels (from agricultural and industrial wastes apart from UCOs and animal fats, residues, ligno-cellulosic materials, etc.)

Use in transport Blending obligation Certificates (on Gcal)


Good reasons to promote the use of biomethane in Italy, especially in the transport sector:

• 1st country in EU by number of NG vehicles (gas consumption decreased in all sectors except for traction);

• Target of 10 % biofuels in transport and the sub-goal of advanced biofuels are ambitious;

• The NG grid is everywhere;

• Biomethane offers a new possibility for the development of biogas plants beyond and after RES electricity.

solid biomass bioliquids biogas Total consumptions

2020 target was set in 2013, but a survey on biomass consumptions in dwellings carried out in 2014 gave new and more accurate data. The time series of consumptions has been reviewed consequently, while the target is still the same.

Fluctuations in yearly consumptions are due to different climatic conditions.
