Key role of bioenergy in a low-carbon future

n Reaching the 2DS will require 42 Gt CO2 annual emissions reduction by 2050 through CO2-price and strong support policies

n Biomass is the only renewable energy source that can make a contribution in all sectors, providing around 10% of total CO2 emissions reduction

IEA Biofuel Roadmap: Vision

n Global biofuel supply grows from 2.5 EJ today to 32 EJ in 2050 – Demand increases in all regionsn Biofuels share in total transport fuel increases from 2% today, to 27% in 2050n Diesel/kerosene-type biofuels become particularly important to decarbonise heavy transport modes

n Large-scale deployment of advanced biofuels will be key to meet the roadmap targets

n Trade will be needed to balance supply and demand for feedstocks and biofuels

Advanced Biofuel Production Capacity

n Currently announced advanced biofuel projects would be sufficient to meet roadmap vision until 2015

n Beyond 2015, considerably more new projects will be needed, and even more so after 2020

Note: A load factor of 70% is assumed for fully operational plants. Actual production volumes may be well below nameplate capacity within the first years of production.

Land Requirements

n Land required to produce biofuels increases from 30 Mha today to 100 Mha in 2050, in addition to 1 billion tons of residues

n Sustainable land expansion will be challenging given increasing demand for food and biomaterial

à Land-use management is needed (for all agricultural. and forestry land)!

Pressure on agricultural land can be

limited and risk of ILUC can be mitigated

through:

n Productivity improvements

n Efficient use of co-products (biorefinery concept)

n Use of residues and wastes

n Use of pasture/ unused land

n Potential for wood biomass

n Biomass cascading

n Land-use zoning and sustainable land-use management schemes

Note: This is gross land demand, excluding land-use reduction potential of co-products

Biofuel Production Costs 2010-50

Most conventional biofuels still have some potential for cost improvements

Total Primary Energy Supply by Fuel Source

n Bioenergy accounts for 24% of primary energy supply by 2050 in the 2°C Scenario

n In the 2DS 250-400 Mha of land, i.e. 5-8% of total agricultural land today,will be needed in 2050

Source: Energy Technology

Perspectives 2012

Bioenergy consumption in buildings declines

• Traditional biomass use is replaced with more efficient cook stoves, and alternative fuels

• Buildings becoming more energy-efficient

Industry set to triple consumption of bioenergy

• Bioenergy is low-carbon alternative for coke and coal for high temperature heat production

Bioenergy – a competitive heat source in many circumstances

World bioenergy electricity supply to grow more then ten-fold

Bioenergy Share in total electricity generation increases from 1.5% today, to 7.5% in 2050

Bioenergy electricity generation costs are strongly scale-dependend

Biomass supply prospects -uncertainties remain

• Biomass demand for heat and power reaches 5-7 billion tons in 2050• Intermediate targets should be adopted to enhance international biomass

trade, and assess costs and impact on sustainability

Total World Energy Demand

Key Policy Actionsn Ambitious policy framework:

n Create a long-term policy framework for bioenergy, taking into consideration specifics of transport fuels, electricity and heat markets

n Innovation and Deployment:n Provide sustained funding for advanced bioenergy RD&D and commercial deployment.n Support research efforts on land availability mapping and biomass potential analysis.

n Sustainability:n Implement internationally agreed sustainability criteria for bioenergyn Link economic incentives to sustainability performance of biofuels.n Set medium-term targets for sustainable biomass supply to help establish supply

chains; incentivize the use of wastes and residues

n International Collaboration:n Engage in international collaboration on capacity building and technology transfern Introduce technical standards for biomass feedstock to promote international traden Promote the alignment of biofuel and other related policies (agriculture, forestry, rural

development)

IEA Bioenergy is an international collaboration set up in 1978 by the International Energy Agency (IEA) as one of more than 40 “Implementing Agreements”within IEA’s Energy Technology Network

24

Strategic Plan

Vision: To achieve a substantial bioenergy contribution to future global energy supplies by accelerating the production and use of environmentally sound, socially accepted and cost-competitive bioenergy on a sustainable basis, thus providing increased security of supply whilst reducinggreenhouse gas emissions from energy use.
