10 Modeling bioenergy in Green-X Potentials and cost supply curve derivation Key consideration by deriving the primary bioenergy potentials: a) A comprehensive assessment of available information on current patterns with respect to biomass supply and use, based on processing of statistical information on agriculture and forestry (e.g. FAOSTAT, Eurostat) complemented by related other information as applicable from National Renewable Energy Action Plans as well as previous / ongoing assessments in this topical area.* b) A transformation of the detailed information on rules / legislations regarding biomass sustainability criteria in order to derive for each key case a different database for model implementation, containing policy information regarding sustainability criteria as well as corresponding potentials & cost for bioenergy. * This comprises e.g. the assessments of biomass potentials & cost as undertaken within the ongoing EU FP7 BEE project (for EU potentials) and the IEE project RESHAPING and the corresponding global assessment as undertaken within IEA Task 40 on bioenergy trade as well as previous studies as conducted at the European level (e.g. the REFUEL project).

11 Green-X allows for targeted information on biomass availability and end-use as well as the related costs and benefits as e.g. in terms of avoided GHG emissions. Additionally, general results are provided with respect to policy costs (i.e. support expenditures), capital expenditures and environmental and economic costs & benefits. Modeling results on technology and member state level is available on an annual basis in the time horizon of 2020/2030, among others, in terms of : Available generation potential of biomass technologies Quantity of biomass production, use and trade (both Intra-European Trade and trade from abroad) Average costs of biomass feedstock Share of forest cover and agricultural land area Quantity of biowaste generated Modeling bioenergy in Green-X Potentials and cost supply curve derivation Greenhouse gas avoidance due to RES (in particular biomass) use Share of RES (in particular biomass) in gross final energy use The geographical scope of the Green-X model is currently constrained to the Members States of the European Union.

13 Modeling bioenergy in Green-X Internal European Biomass trade primary energy trade A node to node model is applied in Green-X Bilateral or multilateral trade Information of status quo of trade Potentials for enhanced trade options Only certain feedstock categories are qualified for trading

14 Modeling bioenergy in Green-X Internal European Biomass trade primary energy trade Remark: Modelling of biomass trade within Green-X Intra-European biomass trade is considered on feedstock level for all relevant feedstock categories (i.e. wood pellets, wood chips and other solids as identified being relevant trade commodities) within the Green-X model. Thereby, the impact of trade will be applicable for new biomass installations (2011 to 2020) existing plants can either remain within their prior supply patterns or act on trade market as well but generally long-term contracts are issued, keeping existing plants at their prior supplier. In general, Member States can trade their surpluses of bioenergy on a bilateral basis or on multilateral platforms whereby the cost of transporting are reflected in the price of related feedstock. Green-X assumes that the real way of transportation does not matter in terms of transport fees. Therefore the transport costs are the same regardless the route of transportation through Europe. Moreover, it is assumed that also the type of transportation does not have an impact of the transport fee since a traditional weighted average of the status quo is assumed. Consequently, also the CO2 emissions of the transportation type are averaged according to the cost of transport in order to guarantee the sustainable use of biomass at its final destination.

17 Conclusions Comparison of the NREAPs with recent Green-X scenarios Comparison: The search for reasons why the scenario differ what do the NREAPs tell us? what can we learn from an assessment of them? The NREAPs submitted are of different quality and completeness. It appears that several countries have taken the obligation serious to provide a complete and comprehensive RES roadmap up to 2020, indicating what is in place and what needs to be done. Others drew a nice picture on the implemented measures to stimulate an enhanced RES deployment which does not in all cases match with reality. Very few countries provided a minimalistic and incomplete report. It can be seen that substantial optimisation potential exists for all five categories. The strongest deficits exist in the field of administrative procedures and spatial planning followed by the category support measures for RES heating and cooling. The highest optimisation potentials exist in these two areas. But even the section of support measures in the electricity sector receives only a neutral evaluation on average showing room for improvement in many EU member states. (Ragwitz, Resch, 2011 Assessment of the NREAPs (REPAP2020 report interim status)

18 Conclusions Results of the internal EU biomass trade application Their is an substantial market for biomass trade Traded biomass must still be sustainable according to the Directive Most existing plants receive their biomass via long-term contracts Bioenergy trade shall first be used at domestic plants in order avoid an selling out of cheap biomass and therefore increase domestic production costs
