Description
Auto-translated from FrenchThis contract concerns the delivery of biomass in the form of "pellets" for one year, day for day, starting from the date of the first delivery. The estimated quantity of pellets to be delivered over 12 months corresponds approximately to 64,000 MWh PCI. This quantity is indicative; potential shutdowns due to technical problems or any other cause are unpredictable. Deliveries will begin on November 15, 2026 (end of current contract on November 14, 2026). An operational shutdown is planned from June to August for maintenance (12 weeks of shutdown are included in the estimated schedule.) This contract is concluded for a period of 12 months. Temporary associations of producers are permitted. It should be noted that all members of the temporary association must individually comply with the right of access and qualitative selection. Application of Directive 2023/2413 – RED III (Directive 2023/2413/EU) – sustainability of the origin of biomass. When the ETS (Emission Trading System) was created, the European CO2 quota trading system to which the Sart Tilman central heating plant is subject, emissions related to biomass were considered zero and therefore did not require annual quota restitution. This logic changed in 2023 with Directive 2023/2413 (RED III), which modifies the treatment of biomass within the ETS (Emission Trading System). Consequently, emissions related to a biomass flow will be considered fossil by default, and ULiège will only be exempt from quota restitution if and only if the facility demonstrates that the sustainability criteria related to origin and greenhouse gas savings criteria as defined in Article 29 (paragraphs 2 to 7 and paragraph 10) of Directive 2023/2413 (RED III) are met, or when these criteria do not apply to the biomass in question. To this end, by submitting a bid for this contract, the tenderer undertakes to deliver pellets certified according to a Voluntary Scheme recognized by the European Commission under RED III and to ensure that the total emission factor (including transport) is less than 30 kg CO2/MWh.
