First Five T@W Good Practice Case Studies Published
9 February 2007

The first five T@W Good Practice Case Studies have been published. These include the first two registered CDM projects in an EU member state, which are the first large-scale and small-scale CDM wind power projects in Cyprus. In addition there are two biofuels-based projects from Sweden and an electricity generation project in India.

This project is one of the first two registered CDM projects in an EU member state and the first large-scale CDM wind power project in Cyprus. The purpose of the Alexigros Wind Farm Project is producing renewable electricity from wind. The electricity will be fed into the National Grid of the
Electricity Authority of Cyprus and sold on the basis of a Power Purchase Agreement to be concluded with the Transmission System Operator and the Electricity Authority of Cyprus.

In 1993 the establishment of district heating started in Mariestad, Sweden. To develop the district heating network a new production system was needed. This was the first step towards today’s new combined heat and power (CHP) plant. The only suitable location for the plant was in the middle of the community at Metsä Tissue, the paper industrial plant, so the scheme would require their co-operation. A feasibility study assessed that the best solution was to build a plant for both the community district heating and the paper plant. This meant that the new plant had to be able to supply steam which would give the opportunity to generate electricity as well as heat. A new company was founded, Katrinefors Kraftvärme AB which is owned jointly by Metsä Tissue and the local community owned utility MTEAB.

The work of establishing a biogas plant in Västerås, the ”Växtkraft-plant”, for the treatment of source separated household waste, ley crops, and other suitable organic waste, has been in progress for several years. Växtkraft in Swedish means the same as growth power. An agreement in principle between VafabMiljö (the Solid-Waste Company of Västmanland), LRF (the National Federation of Swedish Farmers) and Mälarenergi, regarding the proprietorship and operation of the plant, constituted the basis for the work. The objectives are to produce a thoroughly researched basis for the decision on the building of the Växtkraft-plant.

This project activity involves generation of electricity from waste gases from existing iron manufacturing facilities of Kalyani Steels Limited (KSL). The generated electricity is used for captive consumption within the industrial facility thereby partially displacing electricity that would have otherwise been purchased from the grid or generated as captive power using fossil fuel.
