The Netherlands Enterprise Agency (Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland, RVO) has just held a consultation round with the theme ‘upscaling gasification technology biogenic (residual) streams’. As you know, processing biomass in this way produces, among other things, syngas, which is used by the chemical industry as a basis for all kinds of new products. Subsidy can accelerate this development.
The Dutch DEI+ scheme (Demonstration Energy and Climate Innovation) was set up to stimulate energy innovations. The grant is available for projects where the innovation is applied first. The DEI+ focuses on themes and technologies in need of additional stimulation at some point. Some technologies drop out over time, for example because they have proven themselves, and new technologies can be added – as is currently the case with biomass gasification technology. Possible adjustments to the DEI+ for this new technology are:
Furthermore, if a storage facility is part of the investment, at least 75% of the fuel content on an annual basis must come from production facilities directly connected to it and, finally, a subsidy application requires a permit under the Nature Conservation Act and a permit under the Environmental Law (General Provisions) Act.
The grant amount will depend on the type of demonstration project:
The costs covered by the subsidy are the additional costs compared to a less environmentally friendly reference project.
Are you active in chemistry, and do you have plans for a biomass gasification plant? Then this new grant/expansion of the DEI+ may be of interest to you.
