1 Jo Van Brusselen, Alexander Moseyev, Hans Verkerk, Marcus Lindner Item 4.b. Outlook-related work at EFI ToS EFSOS inaugural, 4-5 February 2009, UN-ECE/FAO, Geneva

2 Introslide EFI Research Strategy EFI maintains and develops its competencies in tools, methodologies and value added information systems, which enable international comparisons and future projections in its strategic research issues. For example, they include: - European Forest Resources Scenario Modelling (EFISCEN); - Global Forest Sector Model (EFI-GTM); - Sustainability Impact Assessment of the Forest Sector; - Forest mapping applications; - Value-added information services. > 10 recent projects at EFI are outlook oriented 2

3 Improvements EFSOS I EFSOS II Linkage between resource model and market model No country-wise resource limitations to fulfil countrywise demand Shortfall can be relocated (i.e. traded) with the market model Iterative steps between EFISCEN : European Forest Information Scenario Model EFI-GTM : Global Trade Model Growth changes (N-deposition; Climate change) 3

4 Outlook related projects since EFSOS I Forest Resource Projections 9 major studies (Eforwood, EEA bio-energy, BEE, ATEAM, climate change study, SENSOR, EXIOPOL, FOBIT, EUwood) Biodiversity Projections 1 major study (BioScore) Economic and trade projections 2 major studies (Eforwood, EEA bio-energy) 4

10 Results IPCC Emission scenarios (EU15-LU-GR) Biomass carbon stock changes between 2000 and 2020 Forest management: 54 to 67 Tg C yr -1 Climate change: 12 to 14 Tg C yr -1 Forest area changes: 1 to 4 Tg C yr -1 Total: 70 to 80 Tg C yr -1 10

11 How much biomass can Europe produce without harming the environment? (EEA Report 7/2006) Energy potential, Mtoe Competitive use of wood Additional potential due to N inputs Complementary fellings stemwood Complementary fellings residues EFI-GTM EFISCEN Year Forest residues 11 21/5/08

12 EFI-GTM model Global Forest Sector Model Partial equilibrium model Several regional agents maximize their profit/welfare under perfect competition Recursive model Dimensions 36 products (6 wood, 4 rec.paper, 26 forest industry products) 61 regions (31 in Europe) 1 3 existing production technologies + new technologies from investments EFI-GTM team:birger Solberg, Agricultural University of Norway Alexander Moiseyev, EFI Maarit Kallio, METLA

13 Forest Sector Model EFI-GTM to assess interactions with outside world and to track changes in material flows in the EU FWCs Scenarios on global changes changes in the forest products demand in China, increased wood supply from forest plantations, etc. Scenarios on EU policy changes (EU subsidies for renewable energy, forest conservation, etc. 13 Americas (10regions); Asia (12 regions); Africa (4 regions); Oceania (2 regions) Trade Demand for forest products: - Changes in prices Forest Industries: Changes in regional/process production Europe (32 regions) Forest Growing Stock, Increment, sustainable harvest: EFISCEN Demand for Bioenergy Bio-mass for energy supply: Changes in supply
