World wide interest for Biomass resources is now emerging because :
• Its potential is considerable
• Biomass is able to penetrate all energy sectorial markets, but economic constraints still limits its general deployment
• Many benefits (socio, economic, environmental, diversification of energy supply, rural development etc…) related to possible modern large use of biomass has generated strong interest and support of political decision makers.
However is vital to :
1- Promote efficient but sustainable bioenergy schemes
2. Plan Large Investments
Context:
European Biomass Industry AssociationEuropean Biomass Industry Association
Worldwide biomass resources
• World biomass production:- Terrestrial: ~ 80 B TOE/y- Acquatic: ~ 20 B TOE/y
• Worldwide biomass stock: ~ 370 B TOE/y
• Estimation of world biomass potential (year 2100): - Biomass potential: ~ 6.6 B TOE/y - Ultimate future potential (max): ~ 28.3 B TOE/y
• Total Energy consumption (2000): ~ 9.9 B TOE/a•Total electricity consumption (2040): ~ 37000 TWh
B TOE: Billion of Tonnes Oil Equivalent (1 TOE ~ 2,4 t dry biomass)
• Total nuclear energy supply in year 2000: 638 MTOE/y in year 2020: 690 MTOE/y
European Biomass Industry AssociationEuropean Biomass Industry Association
European biomass resources
• Biomass potential (2050)- UE-15 ~ 500 M TOE/y- UE-27 ~ 600 M TOE/y
• EU guideline regarding biomass use:- for 2010 ~ 135 M TOE/y- for 2020 ~ 220 M TOE/y•EEA (2030 estimated potential) ~ 300 MTO/y
• Current consumption (EU-15; 2001):- Primary energy: ~ 1486 M TOE/y- Biomass: ~ 57 M TOE/y
M TOE: Million of Tonnes Oil Equivalent (1 TOE ~ 2,4 t dry biomass)

Conflicts and lands for food / bioenergy production
• From preliminary evaluations it seems that risk of conflicts for land use will arise in general only when the rate of contribution of bioenergy to the > 30%
• Total worldwide cropland is in fact ~ 2 billion ha. Present utilization is ~ 750 mio ha, but should increase to ~ 1 050 billion ha (in year 2025) for the population increase, living thus 0.95 billion ha for potential bioenergy production (~ 5 billion TOE/y) based on present knowledge and practice.
•However, modern molecular biotechnology could change this present limitations, modifying the metabolism of dedicated energy crops and increasing the photosynthetic efficiency of crops (rather modest now : 2-2.5 % for good crops : like sugar-cane, sweet-sorghum, etc …)
•Use of most agriculture residues (~ 80% of total) should be promoted because emerging technology for its stabilization & modern use is now appearing on the market (agro-pellets)

Present Emerging Economic Opportunities
Heat production
Cogeneration (decentralized production with green-certificate availability)
Cofiring (centralized production with CO2-credits)
Transport biofuels, in particular :
• Bioethanol
• Biodiesel
• Biogas
(most of this activities benefit of economic support measures)
Bio hydrogen (industrial quality)

Future Economic Opportunities for Bioenergy
Assuming an import price for :
• Oil = 70 $/bbl*
• Natural Gas = 250 €/ 1.000 m3 (300 €/TOE)
The level of competitiveness for biofuels is around :
~ 50 €/dryt (solid biomass)
~ 450 €/TOE (liquid biofuels for transport)
* A price of ~ 100 $/bbl could become a reality around the year 2030

World CO2 Emissions from different sectors (IEA).
TOTAL 2005 = ~ 22 Bill ton CO2/y. 2010 = ~ 30 Bill ton CO2/y. 2020 = ~ 38 Bill ton CO2/y. 2030 = ~ 44 Bill ton CO2/y.
European Biomass Industry AssociationEuropean Biomass Industry Association
Stationary Plants with high CO2 Emissions
• Cement Factories: ~ tCO2 /tCement (i bill t cement/y).
• Steel Factories:~ 3tCO2 /tsteel (1.2 bill steel/y).
• Power Plants (coal): ~ 1kg CO2 / KWhe (18000 bill Kwhe/y).
• Oil Refineries: ~ 0.5 tCO2/t oil (3.5 bill t/y).

Mitigation of CO2 EmissionsI. Efficiency Improvement: processing & use;
II. CO2 storage, but is an expensive solution :
(i.e. 100% increase of electricity production in conventional coal power-plants~ 17% of electricity loss).
(~ 300-400€/tCO2 avoided in transport).
III. Deployment of R.E.;
Solar-wind Hydro-Biomass.
Modern Biomass will play a crytical rôle: already is providing a good contribution having increased its acquatic-terrestrial carbon sink (due to the CO2 fertilisation effects) reducing thus ,its accumulation level into the atmosphere from ~ 22 Bill ton/y to ~ 12 Bill t/y.
In Future large-scale vegetation in marginal lands and surplus agric.lands for production & substitution of modern biofuels to fossil-fuels.
NOTE: An area of ~ 400 million ha of land cultivated by well selected C-4 crops could be able to
absorb the CO2 annual increase in the atmosphere .
