There was no national regulation for biomassheating systems in housing.

The Regional Government was reticent to biomass heating systems installations as theydidn’t know how to handle them.

InitialSituation 2005

Renewal Energy SourcesPromoting biomass throughout Propellets Project

Spain produced a big quantity of biomass.Nevertheless aprox. 95% of it was exported.

Outcome: There were only two installations ofthis kind in Madrid.

General Public had no information about whatbiomass systems were so they reluctant to thiskind of projects.

Local distributors found no one to listen to their offers and demands.

The delegation from the Region of Madrid wasformed by the DGIEM, Regional Energy Agency,ESCAN and local Distributors. They had: - Meetings with the regional responsibles. - Visits to biomass heating installations. - Compare different systems and technologies. - Check security conditions.

Renewal Energy SourcesPromoting biomass throughout Propellets Project

ESCAN, coordinator of Propellets Project, offered Madrid Regional Government (Directorate-General for Industry, Energy andMines - DGIEM) a technical cooperation visit tothe Energy Agency of Upper Austria (ESV)

PropelletsProject

The Regional Government promotes installationsthroughout: - A Subsidies Program (aprox. 30% of investment). - Technical conferences for Municipalities, heating systems installers, ESCO, manufacturers. - Dissemination activities (specific guides, leaflets, workshops, etc.).

PresentSituation

Renewal Energy SourcesPromoting biomass throughout Propellets Project

The DGIEM approves a regional regulation forbiomass heating systems in housing.

Outcome: - More than 50 installations of this kind in Madrid. - Fundación de la Energía is enrolled in a European Consortium to promote the use of biomass and develop several pilot project.
