Guaranteed supply of high- quality biomass!

1. Let's use residues! Guaranteed supply of high- quality biomass!

2. Integrating Forest Fire Protection and Sustainable Wood Pellet Production in Turkey Let's use residues! • Agentschap NL (SenterNovem) • Sustainable Biomass Import • Project in Turkey

3. Extensive forest cover Forest fires Forest management Let's use residues! Let's use residues! Let's use residues! Let's use residues! Background

4. Let's use residues! Parties within the project October 2009: LoI received from the General Directorate of Forestry October 2009: LoR received from the Dutch Embassy in Ankara

5. Logistic export chain for wood pellets Local supply chain The first certified forest area in Turkey (FSC/NTA8081) Initial pellet production capacity 5000-6000 ton/monthin the future, this will increase to ca. 200.000 ton/year Let's use residues! Project results

6. Thank you for you attention Let's use residues!

7. Koen Peters, project manager Let's use residues! Project summary

8. R.0 Inception (“kick off”) R.1 Certification of Mugla forest region under FSC and/or NTA8081 R.2 Logistic chain for wood pellets R.3 Pilot pellet production capacity R.4 Preparatory steps for follow up Let's use residues! Five components:

9. Get to know each other better, start cooperation Clarify project details to all stakeholders Re-confirm project objectives, work plan and cooperation details Re-confirm selection of pilot forest region for certification Duration: 1 month (now) Let's use residues! R.0 Inception

10. Pre-assessment: confirm feasibility of certification Training for FMU and CoC partners Action plan for steps towards certification Invite certifier for preliminary assessment Determine final corrective measures Invite certifier for final assessment Duration: 23 months (if required) Let's use residues! R.1 Sustainability certification

11. Assessment study on optimal chains (national and export): capacities available and required; organisational aspects; economics; GHG emissions etc. Contract and train logistic partners Obtain necessary licenses and other documents Duration: 11 months (if required) Let's use residues! R.2 Logistic chain for wood pellets

12. Identify and prepare site incl. buildings Procure and install equipment (6000 ton/month) Hire and train operational personnel Start pilot production – produce at least 25,000 ton during life of project Duration: 19 months Let's use residues! R.3 Pilot pellet production

13. Inventory of other biomass volumes Evaluation of barriers to local demand Awareness raising/promotion for local demand Business plan for follow-up and expansion Duration: 12 months (if required) Let's use residues! R.4 Preparatory steps for follow-up

14. BioCandeo (incl. Silvestrum) Overall project leadership Expert support on certification International marketing of wood pellets Biyokor Logistic analysis Pilot pellet plant Süleyman Demirel University Expert support on certification; logistic analysis; processing Market analysis national demand Let's use residues! Task/role division (summarized) GDF • Appoint region for pilot certification • Facilitate biomass supply and logistic chain (licenses etc) • Support follow-up in other regions Muğla Regional Forest Dir. • Appoint project coordinator for certification • Implement measures towards certification standards • Ensure access of Biyokor to wood biomass
