On April 13th and 14th, the fifth meeting of the Steering Committee of the BIORES Project - Sustainable Regional Supply Chains for Woody Bioenergy was held, organized by the Regional Energy Agency of Northwest Croatia.
The main topics of the meeting, in addition to administration of the project i.e. technical and financial reporting, were the status of work packages WP4, WP5, WP6 and WP7. The following activities on feasibility study for biomass logistic centers in defined locations were particularly in focus.
At the same time, a workshop was held, organized by CARMEN, in the framework of the work package WP7 on informing the consumers of biomass, which was attended by the representatives of the organizations, that are developing specific logistic centers in Serbia, Croatia and Bulgaria, together with the partners in the BIORES project.
The next meeting of the SC will take place at the end of September in Velenje, Slovenia.
On April 11th, as a visiting lecturer on the course about Organization and Management in forestry, the president of the National Biomass Association SERBIO and the BIORES Project Manager, Vojislav Milijić, had the honor of to present the National Biomass Association SERBIO and the BIORES project to the graduates of the Faculty of Forestry in Belgrade. In addition, the interested students are invited to visit the BIORES training: Sustainable regional supply chains for woody bioenergy on the RENEXPO Western Balkans Fair 2016.
BioRES has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon2020 Research and Innovation Program under grant agreement No645994, and aims to establish biomass logistic centers in Serbia, Bulgaria and Croatia.
The German Business Delegation in Serbia partnered with the Federal Ministry of Economy and Energy of FR Germany in cooperation with Ecleron organized a Conference on biomass and biogas on April 5th in Serbia.
The conference offered a broad thematic review of the potential of bioenergy in Serbia with an overview of the energy, economic and political situation in Serbia, as well as specific investment opportunities of German companies with practical advice on entering the market. Also representatives of companies from Germany, presented their technologies and experience in the development of the bioenergy sector.

Hrvatska je na slučaju projekta TEKI pokazala da kroz institucije i kompanije u svom vlasništvu opstruira projekte, tvrde Holanđani.
Hrvatsko Ministarstvo privrede nedavno je dobilo obaveštenje holandskog ulagača Amlin Holdinga da pred Evropskim sudom pokreće tužbu protiv Hrvatske i traži obeštećenje zbog blokiranja njihovog ulaganja u gradnju termoelektrane na biomasu u Koprivničkom Ivancu.
Reč je o projektu koji je pod imenom "TEKI", Amlin pokrenuo još 2009. godine, a bili su podstaknuti i pozivima Hrvatske da je otvorena za ulaganja u "zelenu energiju", pišu regionalni mediji.
Elektrana je trebalo da bude jedna od najvećih na biomasu u Hrvatskoj, kapaciteta 20 mega vati, u koju je predviđeno ulaganje 85 miliona evra, a trebalo je da otvori 150 novih radnih mesta. Međutim, od samog početka projekat je nailazio na blokade, od lokalnih do državnih nivoa. Preko kompanije koju su osnovali u Hrvatskoj, E2G, za šest godina uloženo je više od 8 miliona evra u kupovinu zemljišta za pogon i dobijanje potrebnih lokacijskih i građevinskih dozvola, kao i ostale dokumentacije za projekat.
Prve opstrukcije i promene regulative počele su sa tenderom za kupovinu biomase od Hrvatskih šuma, koja je jedini dobavljač za 160 hiljada tona potrebne biomase. Borba za ugovor trajala je godinama, jer su konkursi poništavani i prolazili su dugotrajne procedure. 2011. godin su konačno krenuli u realizaciju najvažnijeg dela posla - dobijanje ugovora o otkupu energije (PPA) kojeg potpisuje HROTE. Da bi se to ostvarilo bilo je potrebno prijaviti projekat HERA-i za Prethodno rešenje o sticanju statusa povlašćenog proizvođača energije. Njega je projekat TEKI dobio u proleće 2012. godine, a dva meseca kasnije potpisan je i PPA s HROTE-om.
U priču se uključio i EBRD, koji je pokrenuo proceduru finansiranja projekta. I kada se činilo da projekat kreće prema realizaciji, menjaju se kriterijumi za ugovor za biomasu, tako da je minimalna godišnja efikasnost postrojenja dignuta na 50 odsto, a kako je planirana na 37 odsto, ulagač je morao da promeni koncept elektrane da bi osim struje mogla da isporučuje i toplotnu energiju. Takva prenamena elektrane zahteva i novu lokacijsku dozvolu, nove procene uticaja na okolinu i dokumentaciju za kontrolu prevencije zagađenja. Kako se kasnilo, a curili su rokovi početka izgradnje iz Herinog rešenja, te rokovi iz ugovora za biomasu, ulagač se obraća Ministarstvu privrede.
Apelovao je i EBRD, a u leto 2014. održan je i sastanak u Ministarstvu, ali mesec dana kasnije stiže "hladan tuš" - obaveštenje HROTE-a da je PPA poništen jer je Herino prethodno rešenje o statusu povlašćenog proizvođača isteklo. To poništenje, kako pojašnjava holandski investitor, rezultat je izmene regulative, a rezultat svega je povlačenje EBRD-a i još nekih partnera iz projekta. U međuvremenu je investitor dobio nove dozvole, ali ne i novi PPA.
"Republika Hrvatska je na slučaju projekta TEKI pokazala je da je loš partner stranim investitorima i da je kroz svoje institucije i kompanije u državnom vlasništvu spremna da opstruiše projekte koji donose nova radna mesta, zadovoljavanje ciljeva na području obnovljivih izvora energije i ulaganja desetina miliona evra. Svedoci smo da se ni ulaskom u EU situacija u Hrvatskoj nije promenila, a investiciona klima ostala je izuzetno neuređena, čak bez traga najave da se išta pokušava popraviti ", navode u izjavi za Poslovni dnevnik iz Amlina.
Sve obaveze prema Hrvatskoj, dodaju, uredno su ispunili, a ugroženi "nisu samo poslovni ugovori, nego i Ugovor o promociji i uzajamnoj zaštiti ulaganja između Hrvatske i Holandije.

Training for the interested participants on supply chains for woody bioenergy
BIORES develops the capacity of the market participants in the local supply chains and provides training for trainers for Biomass Logistic and Trade Centers (BLTC), related to business skills and quality control of woody bioenergy and sustainable forest management.
Within the project there is a study tour and training of trainers (30.11.-4.12.2015) with the aim of visiting BLTC's that represent good practice in Slovenia, Austria and southern Germany, with a workshop related to the transfer of knowledge and technology.
BIORES Training manual provides orientation for the target groups of the project, which are included in the chain of value creation related to woody bioenergy: trainers for woody bioenergy, the potential operators of new biomass logistic and trade centers, private forest owners, consultants for project development , handlers of small power stations and power plants, traders and processors of wood.
The Training manual contains three training modules:
1) Analysis of local market potential (supply and demand) with didactic approaches and motivation
2) Development and implementation of a business model BLTC
3) Quality assurance and verification requirement of sustainability including the EU regulation on wood
The manual was prepared in English and translated into national languages of the countries where the BIORES project is implemented: Bulgaria, Croatia and Serbia.
