WP7 – Task 7.2
Evaluation: What is it?
Several definitions….
• “structured process of assessing the success of a project in meeting its
goals and to reflect on the lessons learned…”
• “setting targets
achievement…”
and
milestones
to
measure
progress
and
• “…to check whether the inputs are producing the planned outputs…”
• “to see whether the project is consistent with the design…”
WP7 – Task 7.2
Evaluation within BIOSURF
Project Impact Analysis
• The outcomes of the project will be compared with what defined at its
beginning.
• The analysis will be focused on the influence of the project on
biomethane related European and national politics and on the industry
as a whole
• The national biogas associations will provide substantial
contributions with regard to the conditions on the local market.
WP7 – Task 7.2
Evaluation within BIOSURF
• Outputs of the project elaborated within WP3, 4 and 5 (guidelines,
methodologies, proposals, letters of agreements, etc.) will be assessed through
specific questionnaires and focused evaluation forms distributed
during the workshops of the project in WP2 (dedicated to specific and
selected topics) or circulated, e.g., among the members of the national
biogas associations.
• This will help to assess the degree of adoption and implementation of
mentioned outputs by the relevant stakeholders of the Biomethane
community (business, industry, decision makers, etc.)
• These impacts will be evaluated in terms of the direct effect of the
project and the potential for longer term replication/exploitation.
WP7 – Task 7.2
Deliverable 7.1
Project Evaluation Plan
• will be elaborated to design:
o activities,
o methods,
o format,
o key performance indicators
o timing of impact analysis.
• Deadline: June 2015
WP7 – Task 7.2
Importance of key Performance Indicators
To establish an evaluation system for tracking and
monitoring the project we need INDICATORS
An indicator is good if meets specific characteristics:
- Simple
- M easureable
- easily Accessible
- significant and Relevant to the scope
- Time-bound
- comparable
- credible
WP7 – Task 7.2
Expected Impacts of BIOSURF
A.
Increasing the share of sustainable bioenergy in the
final energy consumption;
B.
C.
Substantial and measurable reductions in the
transaction costs for project developers as well as
for the permitting authorities;
Fully addressing the needs for environmental impact
assessments, including considerations for indirect
impacts and energy balance, and public engagement.
D. Development of better policy, market support
and financial frameworks, notably at national,
regional and local level.

National/domestic
Biomethane Registries
Guidelines for establishing biomethane registries

Cooperation among
the national
biomethane registries
• Guidelines to determine the conditions, rules and
parameters of GoO
• Multi-lateral (or bilateral) Letters of agreement among
the 6 BIOSURF countries for mutual acceptance of GoO.
3
European massbalancing system for
Biomethane
Technical-administrative proposal to the European
Commission for declaring the European natural gas network
as a single, closed mass-balancing system.
Free Market
Biomethane
Trade
• Technical-economic analyses to determine the
feasibility threshold for the value of tradable biomethane
certificate;
• Survey among the (industrial and individual) customers
of different categories in all participating countries to
assess the readiness of biomethane users for paying a
premium over the prevailing market prices of natural gas
on a continuous basis;
• Conditions for the establishment of:
o national/domestic electronic trading platforms;
o European
Biomethane
Electronic
Trading
Platform (with potential expansion of EECS for
biomethane).

Regional
specificities
• Establishing bilateral or trilateral agreements among
the biomethane registries from IT, FR and AT, including
issued in the country of conditions for mutual
acceptance of Biomethane Guarantees of Origin
production;
• at leastone biomethane producer in any of the three
countries producing biomethane for export;
• at least one customer in any of the three countries
buying imported biomethane.
2
Networking and
Cooperation
• 6 workshops per country on different technical and
nontechnical topics (with attendance of 20 stakeholders
to each);
• 1 national conference per country (with 50
stakeholders).
8
Transferability of
results beyond the
project’s Countries
• 3 dedicated workshops in countries having showed
interest in the project (The Netherlands, Sweden, Czech
Republic) and
• by regularly exchanging fact, news and fact related to the
project and the biomethane world in general.

Expected Impact
WP7 – Task 7.2
Key Indicators
BIOSURF expected outputs will be assessed in terms of:
• Increased share of biomethane in the final
energy consumption (%);
• Reduced CO2 emissions (gCO2eq/MJ);
• Investments in biomethane projects
(M€).
