2 2 Agenda 1. Introduction 2. Bioenergy in the Danish Energy System 3. The Danish Bioenergy Cluster 4. Impact of the Cluster Analysis

3 3 Danish Bioenergy Association The voice and forum of the bioenergy industry Members include technology producers and suppliers, consulting engineers, utilities and developers Members activities are combustion, biofuels, biogas and biorefining DI Bioenergy is an industry association within the Confederation of Danish Industry and member of the European Biomass Association

4 4 Bioenergy in Denmark 04. apr. 17 Bioenergy is challenged

5 5 Bioenergy is indispensable in the green transition towards 2030 Fast transition from coal Flexibility in the energy system Solves waste problem in agriculture Greening of the gas grid Jobs Exports Transport and agriculture Step towards a bio-based society

6 Production of renewable energy Other Waste, biodegradable Biogas Wood Straw Wind Source: Danish Energy Agency,

7 Consumption of renewable energy Biomass Wind Other Biogas Source: Danish Energy Agency,

8 8 Imports of Wood Pellets Domestic wood pellet production approx. 100,000 tons Wood pellet imports approx. 2,100,000 tons Some wood chips production from Danish forests and wood industry New plants will increase imports of wood chips Industry agreement ensures sustainability Production and imports of wood pellets (tons) Source: FORCE Technology

9 9 Danish energy and climate policy Ambitious climate and energy policy, starting 1985 with a decision not to use nuclear energy and later adding incentives for biomass and wind Based on energy agreements in parliament adopted by vast parliamentary majority, lasting usually two terms Instruments are a mix of non-financial regulation and taxes and subsidies Present agreement from 2012 includes a vision of an energy system independent from fossil fuels by 2050 Lately increased focus on cost-effectiveness

14 Danish Bioenergy Cluster 15. maj 17 Exports of the Bioenergy Cluster Combustion Technology 47% 1,1 Bn Euro Biofuels and Biorefining 29% Biogas Technology 19% Other 5% Total DK export of energy technology Euro 9.6 bn. =11% of export of goods (2015) Source: DI Bioenergy, FORCE, 14 INBIOM

15 15 Bioenergy in Denmark 04. apr. 17 Bioenergy Cluster - Method 1. Identification of 1200 bioenergy-related companies segments, after technology and value chain 3. Employees, turn-over and exports from Statistical Bureau 4. Individual analysis of 71 companies due to complexity 5. Some utilities analysed by sectorial analysis

16 16 Impact of Cluster Analysis Target groups: All stakeholders in bioenergy Positive narrative of bioenergy across technologies Bioenergy role in Danish green transition - and derived effects in jobs og exports Remember bioenergy when designing future regulatory environment Continued strenghtening of competencies and technology development in national programmes
