§ 1 Role

This Regulation regulates the scope of the Renewable Energy Sources Act, which substances are considered as biomass, which technical processes for the production of electricity from biomass fall within the scope of the law and which are subject to the law. To comply with environmental requirements in the production of electricity from biomass. Unofficial table of contents

§ 2 Recognised Biomass

(1) Biomass for the purposes of this Regulation are sources of energy from Phyto and Zoomasse. This includes the resulting sequence and by-products, residues and waste resulting from the phyto-and zoom-mass, the energy content of which comes from the phyto-and zoom-asse. (2) Biomass within the meaning of paragraph 1 shall be in particular:

1.

plants and plant components,

2.

energy sources produced from plants or plant constituents, all of which have been produced from biomass within the meaning of paragraph 1;

3.

wastes and by-products of plant and animal origin from the agricultural, forestry and fishing industries,

4.

Biowaste within the meaning of § 2 (1) of the Biowaste Regulation,

5.

gas produced from the biomass referred to in paragraph 1 by gasification or pyrolysis and resulting product and by-products,

6.

alcohols produced from biomass referred to in paragraph 1, the components, intermediate, sequence and by-products of which have been produced from biomass.

(3) Without prejudice to paragraph 1, the biomass referred to in this Regulation shall be:

1.

Drizzle of water care, care and maintenance of the shore,

2.

Biogas produced by anaerobic digestion, provided that the fermentation does not include substances according to § 3, point 3, 7 or 9 or more than 10% by weight of sewage sludge.

(4) Substances from which in Altanlagen within the meaning of § 2 (3) sentence 4 of the Renewable Energy Act of 29 March 2000 (BGBl. 305) in the version in force on 31 July 2004, and before 1 April 2000, has already been paid as electricity from biomass, and continue to be considered as biomass in these plants. This shall not apply to substances in accordance with § 3 No. 4. Unofficial table of contents

8.

Textiles,

9.

animal by-products within the meaning of Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 Adopted on 13 October 2009 laying down the health rules for animal by-products not intended for human consumption, and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 (OJ L 327, 31.12.2002, p. 1), as defined by Directive 2010 /63/EU (OJ L 327, 22.12.2010, p.

§ 4 Technical procedures

(1) As technical procedures for the production of electricity from biomass for the purposes of this Regulation, single-stage and multi-stage electricity production methods shall be applied by the following types of installations:

1.

Combustion plants in combination with steam turbine, steam engine, Stirling engine and gas turbine processes, including Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) processes,

2.

Combustion engine systems,

3.

gas turbine plants,

4.

Fuel cell systems,

5.

Other installations which, like the technical procedures referred to in points 1 to 4, are operated with a view to achieving the objective of climate and environmental protection.

(2) Where electricity production from biomass for the purposes of this Regulation is only possible by means of ignition or support firing with other substances other than biomass, by means of a method referred to in paragraph 1, such substances may also be used. (3) In installations according to Paragraphs 1 and 2 may also be used up to 10% of the energy content of sewage gas or gas (synthesis gas) produced by thermal processes under a shortage of oxygen, if the gas (synthesis gas) from sewage sludge is used in the sense of the Sewage sludge regulation has been produced.
