10 OECD/IEA 2011 Anselm Eisentraut Bioenergy Analyst 2011

11 IEA Biofuel Roadmap: Vision Final energy (EJ) Global biofuel supply grows from 2.5 EJ today to 32 EJ in 2050 Demand increases in all regions Biofuels share in total transport fuel increases from 2% today, to 27% in 2050 Diesel/kerosene-type biofuels become particularly important to decarbonise heavy transport modes Large-scale deployment of advanced biofuels will be key to meet the roadmap targets Trade will be needed to balance supply and demand for feedstocks and biofuels

12 Advanced Biofuel Production Capacity 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. Currently announced advanced biofuel projects would be sufficient to meet roadmap vision until 2015 Beyond 2015, considerably more new projects will be needed, and even more so after 2020

13 Land Requirements Pressure on agricultural land can be limited and risk of ILUC can be mitigated through: Productivity improvements Efficient use of co-products (biorefinery concept) Use of residues and wastes Use of pasture/ unused land Potential for wood biomass Biomass cascading Land-use zoning and sustainable landuse management schemes Note: This is gross land demand, excluding land-use reduction potential of co-products Land required to produce biofuels increases from 30 Mha today to 100 Mha in 2050, in addition to 1 billion tons of residues Sustainable land expansion will be challenging given increasing demand for food and biomaterial Land-use management is needed (for all agricultural. and forestry land)!

14 Biofuel Production Costs Production costs shown as untaxed retail price Most conventional biofuels still have some potential for cost improvements

15 OECD/IEA 2011 Anselm Eisentraut Bioenergy Analyst 2012

16 Total Primary Energy Supply by Fuel Source Source: Energy Technology Perspectives 2012 Bioenergy accounts for 24% of primary energy supply by 2050 in the 2 C Scenario (2DS) In the 2DS Mha of land, i.e. 5-8% of total agricultural land today, will be needed in 2050

17 Bioenergy consumption in buildings declines Traditional biomass use is replaced with more efficient cook stoves, and alternative fuels Buildings becoming more energy-efficient

18 Industry set to triple consumption of bioenergy Bioenergy is low-carbon alternative for coke and coal for high temperature heat production

19 Bioenergy a competitive heat source in many circumstances

20 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

21 Bioenergy electricity generation costs are strongly scale-dependend

22 Biomass supply prospects - uncertainties remain 2050 (2 C) Source: Based on IPCC SRREN, 2011 Total World Energy Demand 2011 Source: Adapted from IPCC (2011), and supplemented with IEA data 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

24 Ambitious policy framework: Key Policy Actions Create a long-term policy framework for bioenergy, taking into consideration specifics of transport fuels, electricity and heat markets Innovation and Deployment: Provide sustained funding for advanced bioenergy RD&D and commercial deployment. Support research efforts on land availability mapping and biomass potential analysis. Sustainability: Implement internationally agreed sustainability criteria for bioenergy Link economic incentives to sustainability performance of biofuels. Set medium-term targets for sustainable biomass supply to help establish supply chains; incentivize the use of wastes and residues International Collaboration: Engage in international collaboration on capacity building and technology transfer Introduce technical standards for biomass feedstock to promote international trade Promote the alignment of biofuel and other related policies (agriculture, forestry, rural development)

29 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 29

30 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 reducing greenhouse gas emissions from energy use. 30

31 Bioenergy already plays a major role supplying ~10% of world primary energy supplies Fuel Shares in World Total Primary Energy Supply 2005 Natural Gas 36% 20% Coal Bioenergy Hydro Other Renewables 6%0% 2% 10% 26% Non renewable waste Nuclear Oil IEA Renewables Information
