1 29./ Quantification of N 2 O Emissions from Biofuel Feedstock Cultivation Renate Koeble European Commission Joint Research Centre Institute for Environment and Sustainability Ispra, Italy renate.koeble@jrc.ec.europa.eu EUROCLIMA Expert Consultation on Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Biofuels and Bioenergy Buenos Aires, 29./
2 29./ Outline of the Presentation Methods to assess soil N 2 O emissions from crop cultivation spatially The Stehfest & Bouwman statistical model combined with IPCC Tier1 approach Global calculations of N 2 O emissions general conditions - Input data (fertilizer, crop area / yield, environmental parameters) Results The results and the Renewable Energy Directive
3 29./ Methods to assess N 2 O emissions from crop cultivation spatially Process based agro-ecosystem models simulate the processes causing emissions in the soil require extensive data input (parameterization, meteorology etc.) require expertise of the user about bio-physical/bio-chemical processes and the modelling framework application dominantly on regional scale (e.g. Europe) typical soil N 2 O emission values for wheat, rapeseed, sugar beet and sunflower cultivation in Renewable Energy are based on results of the DeNitrification DeComposition (DNDC) model runs for Europe
4 29./ Methods to assess N 2 O emissions from crop cultivation spatially Statistical / regression models based on the correlation between field measurements of N 2 O fluxes and driving environmental and management factors as e.g. N input, soil carbon content etc. less data input demanding application on global scale possible distribution and quantity of available measurements (geographically, different crops) determines the quality of the model
5 29./ Methods to assess N 2 O emissions from crop cultivation spatially IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories TIER1 approach N 2 O emission are calculated from N input (fertilizer, crop residues etc.) by using default emission factors The TIER1 approach does not allow to account for different environmental conditions typical soil N 2 O emission values for oilpalm, maize, soybean and sugarcane in the Renewable Energy directive are based IPCC Tier 1 approach (with modifications for soybean and oilpalm)
6 29./ Stehfest and Bouwman (2002, 2006) developed a statistical model to describe on-field emissions N 2 O emissions from soils under agricultural use based on the analysis of 1008 N 2 O emission measurements in agricultural fields where E E = N 2 O emission (as kg N 2 O-N ha-1 yr-1) c = constant ev = effect value for different drivers The Stehfest & Bouwman statistical model ( c ) = exp + ev Constant value Parameter Parameter class or unit Effect value (ev) Fertilizer Input * N application rate in kg N ha-1 yr-1 Soil organic C content <1 % % >3 % ph < > Soil texture Coarse 0 Medium Fine Climate Subtropical climate Temperate continental climate 0 Temperate oceanic climate Tropical climate Vegetation Cereals 0 Grass Legume None Other Wetland rice Soil bulk density 0-1 g cm-3 n/a g cm-3 n/a >1.25 g cm-3 n/a Length of Experiment 1 yr
7 29./ The Stehfest & Bouwman (S&B) statistical model IPCC emission factor for direct emissions is based on a global mean of S&B Fertilizer Induced Emissions - FIE Where: FIE = (E fert E unfert ) / N appl Fertilizer induced emissions (kg N2O-N Emissions / kg Fertilizer N input) Variation of fertilizer induced emissions from agricultural soils under different environmental conditions and fertilizer input rates applying the Stehfest and Bouwman (2006) model E fert = Emissions from the fertilized plot (kg N 2 O-N) E unfert = Emissions from the unfertilized plot (kg N 2 O-N) N appl = mineral fertilizer and manure N application (kg) N input kg ha-1 Agricultural Fields: Minimum case for Cereals in Temperate Oceanic Climate (SOC <1%; ph >7.3; medium soil texture) Agricultural Fields: Mean case for Cereals in Temperate Oceanic Climate (SOC 1-3%; ph ; coarse soil texture) Agricultural Fields: Maximum case for Cereals in Temperate Oceanic Climate (SOC >3%; ph <5.5; fine soil texture) IPCC (2006) factor for direct N2O emissions from fertilizer input
8 29./ Combining Stehfest & Bouwman (S&B) model and IPCC (2006) TIER1 Direct Emissions N 2 O-N direct_fert = (N min + N man ) * > replaced by FIE based on S&B model N 2 O-N direct_cr = N cr * 0.01 N 2 O-N organic_soils Indirect Emissions = 8 kg N 2 O-N ha -1 (temperate climate) 16 kg N 2 O-N ha -1 (tropical climate) N 2 O-N volatilization = (N min * 0.1) + (N man * 0.2) * 0.01 N 2 O-N leaching/runoff* = (N min + N man + N cr ) * 0.3 * Blue = Emission Factors Green = fractions N min = mineral Fertilizer N Input N man = N from manure application N cr = N from crop residues Parameters are in kg/ha *only regions where leaching/runoff occurs
9 29./ Combining Stehfest & Bouwman (S&B) model and IPCC (2006) TIER1 Soil N 2 O Emission from different pathways under high and low fertilizer input conditions. Example: Wheat N2O-N kg / t of feedstock N2O-N kg / t of feedstock Direct emissions S&B Direct emissions IPCC Organic Soils Volatilization NETHERLANDS mineral N input 284 kg/ha yield 8.0 t/ha ROMANIA mineral N input 31 kg/ha yield 2.5 t/ha Leaching/Runoff Crop residues
10 29./ Global calculations of N2O emissions general conditions - Spatial resolution ~9 by 9km2 most global data sets required for the calculations are available at this resolution Reference year 2000 Detailed land use data set is available, providing crop area and yield for single crops and the required resolution Input data sets with global coverage Ensure as far as possible equal detail for all parts of the world Cover a wide range of potential biofuel feedstock defined by the Commission Potential Biofuel Feedstock Barley Cassava Coconut Maize Oilpalm Rapeseed Rye Safflower Sorghum Soybean Sugarbeet Sugarcane Sunflower Triticale Wheat
11 29./ Mineral fertilizer and manure N data based on IFA mineral fertilizer data on a country level disaggregated using FAO statistics on fertilizer use by crop for the different countries for the single crops mineral fertilizer input per ha for a ~10by10km grid was calculated manure data is based on FAO animal feedstock and IPCC default method to derive N input manure was distributed homogeneously within arable land Input data

22 29./ The results and the Renewable Energy Directive The JEC-WTW data on soil N 2 O emissions from feedstock cultivation will be updated based on these new results. This will most probably lead to an update of the default values in the RED ADVANTAGES harmonized method for all feedstocks global application possible different environmental and management conditions are taken into account as requested by the directive method is more easily reproducible by economic operators or public sector entities to show compliance with the RED sustainability criteria description of the method, input data and results will be made publicly available on our website soon the calculations for users could be facilitated via a (web?)tool providing default data for a certain location on the earth based on the presented work. The user might change these parameters if there is more accurate information available. Results will be calculated within the tool.

26 29./ Provisions of the EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED) General rule: to demonstrate compliance with the directive, producers may always cite the default GHG emission value for the biofuel as alternative to calculating the actual value Exception: raw materials cultivated in the EU, if they are not included in a list of areas where emissions from cultivation can be expected to be equal or lower to those reported in the directive*. The GHG emission calculations to draw up the list had to be submitted by the EU member states until The EU Commission was requested to report on the feasibility to draw up correspondingly lists of third countries with low greenhouse gas emissions from cultivation**. The Commissions communication COM(2010) 427 concerning this matter however concludes that at the current stage it is not yet feasible to set up legally binding lists of areas as the underlying calculations are uncertain (e.g. lack or insufficient quality of the data and modeling approaches). * Article 19(2) of the RED ** Article 19(4) of the RED
