Energy Planning Principles:
3
Other Jurisdictions Have taken Steps to Maximize
the Implementation of Renewables and Capture the
Efficiency of Cogeneration and District Energy
• Wind: Install as much wind as the grid can accommodate
• Biomass: Capture of all forms of methane including
Landfill, WWTP, Municipal Waste, Animal Waste,
Agricultural Waste, Energy Crops
• Cogeneration / District Energy: Whenever possible
generate power where the thermal loads are
• In order to develop a sustainable energy infrastructure
decisions have to be value driven, not cost driven

Biogas
Fuel source for a renewable
future
• Technology
• Project Examples
• Ontario Opportunity
•Drivers & Bariers
Biogas conversion through
anaerobic digestion generates
more energy from organic
matter than any other
technology
24
What are the drivers for implementation
Kyoto commitment
Value of CO2 reduction
Reduce dependency on fossil fuels
Utilize local resources for energy needs
Generate Power where thermal loads are
Consumers accept the fact that there is a cost
associated with preserving their environment and
developing a sustainable energy infrastructure.
25
GE Energy Jenbacher products
Yes, it is also possible in Ontario
Define the potential
Create an Energy Vision (Where do we want to be 20-30
years from now)
Involve all stakeholders (agriculture, environment, energy,
municipal etc.)
Set specific implementation targets (Germany example:
10,000 MW by 2020)
Introduce regulatory and financial incentives to achieve these
targets (Consider tariffs similar to Germany and Austria)
Annually review and adjust incentives/regulations in order to
stay on track
Make it easy and attractive to invest in these projects
