Setting Sustainable Standards with Bioenergy Villages

The heating market accounts for over 40 percent of energy consumption and is the largest share of energy consumption; therefore, it plays a vital role in achieving agreed climate policy goals. Installing modern, highly efficient systems could allow the heating market to save up to one-third of its energy.

Bioenergy villages can contribute to these savings. All households are supplied with heat from the local district heating network, which generates energy from renewable fuels on the outskirts of the village. This fuel comes from agricultural resources processed in a biogas plant or from local forests. Thus, each bioenergy village is a strategic sustainable development project that protects the climate and the environment, and, in an ideal scenario, does not consume fossil fuels such as oil or gas.

Low initial costs

Connecting to a bioenergy village's heating network typically costs approximately €4,500 per household. This includes a fee to the operator association, which is usually a cooperative. Compared to a conventional oil-fired heating system, heating costs are approximately 10-20% lower. In fact, savings steadily increase over several years of operation. Achieved CO2 savings exceed 50 percent.

AHI Carrier - a partner you can rely on at every stage

As a comprehensive energy system supplier, AHI Carrier offers all the necessary components for a bioenergy village from a single source. Together with our group members, we supply not only suitable heating systems for renewable energy sources. As part of our comprehensive project development, we offer services such as initial consultation, feasibility studies and cost-benefit analyses, engineering work in collaboration with regional engineering firms, and complete project implementation as general contractor.

At the same time, collaboration between AHI Carrier, regional service providers, and local construction companies is crucial for value creation and job security in the region. Furthermore, AHI Carrier supplies a standardized control system for all heat generators and the heating network itself.

Renewable local heating offers many benefits for residents and local authorities

The criteria for a bioenergy village are fairly simple. The settlement is typically located in a rural area and has a population of 500 to 1,500.

Reliable and economical supply

The energy center should be designed and built outside the village to avoid overburdening residents with the necessary biomass delivery. The energy center is designed to ensure an exceptionally reliable supply of water for heating and hot water for domestic use at all times. Over the course of several decades, each household makes only a one-time investment to connect to the grid and incurs no further costs.

Continuously reducing heating costs helps ease household budgets and creates opportunities for other investments. These could include, for example, thermal insulation to further reduce heat consumption. Strengthening the regional economy and budget relief. The biomass needed for heat production is usually sourced from nearby sources. This strengthens the regional economy, as well as the local forestry and agricultural industries. This also creates value, investment, and job security. Furthermore, savings from cheaper heating for public buildings help relieve pressure on local government budgets

Replacement of traditional heating

Until recently, oil was the typical fuel in small communities consisting primarily of detached houses. In renewable local heating systems, the individual heat generator in the home gives way to a heat exchanger station the size of a wall-mounted gas boiler, which records actual consumption using a heat meter. This also means that oil tanks become unnecessary, allowing them to be dismantled, making the mess and smell of oil a thing of the past. The freed-up space can be used, for example, for a hobby room.

Location advantage due to low energy costs

Its status as a bioenergy village makes it an attractive location for industrial development. Existing and new businesses have a location advantage, as they can benefit from significantly lower energy costs compared to oil and gas.
