1 IEA Technology Roadmap: Delivering sustainable bioenergy Adam Brown ETIP Bioenergy, 11 April 218 OECD/IEA 217

2 Roadmap launched IEA Bioenergy Roadmap launched on 3 November 217 at joint IEA and Mission Innovation Event in Ottawa Technology Roadmap - Delivering Sustainable Bioenergy Team effort!

3 The full portfolio of technologies is needed for decarbonisation GtCO Technology area contribution to global cumulative CO2 reductions Global CO2 reductions by technology area Gt CO 2 cumulative reductions in DS RTS B2DS Efficiency 34% 4% Efficiency Renewables 4% 15% 35% Renewables 35% Fuel switching 18% 5% Fuel switching 5% Nuclear Nuclear 1% 6% 6% CCS 33% 15% Delivering deep carbon emission reductions will require an unprecedented effort in technology innovation and diversification worldwide

4 Bioenergy an essential component of IEA Low Carbon Scenarios Role of Bioenergy Role of RTS Bioenergy to B2DS Global Emissions GT CO DS - Other technologies 2DS - Other technologies 2DS - Bioenergy B2DS - Other technologies 2DS - Bioenergy B2DS - Bioenergy Bioenergy to provide some 17% of cumulative carbon savings to 26 in the 2DS and around 22% of additional cumulative reductions in the B2DS, including an important contribution from BECCS

5 Strong acceleration needed between now and 23 Modern bioenergy in final energy consumption in 2DS 8 6 EJ Other Electricity Transport 4 2X Industry 2 3X

6 Sector growth (indexed 28 = 1) Bioenergy is already a significant global energy source Modern bioenergy in final energy consumption 215 (left) and growth by sector (right) Total: 17 EJ 2 1 Modern bioenergy for heat Bioenergy for electricity Biofuels for transport Biofuels for transport Modern bioenergy for heat Bioenergy for electricity Modern bioenergy accounted for around half of renewables in final energy consumption in 215, a contribution five times greater than wind and solar PV combined. However, growth rates vary by sector.

7 Biofuels: an important option in a portfolio of transport solutions Transport Fuels 2DS 12 EJ Hydrogen Electricity Biofuels Other fossil Fossil Jet Fuel Fossil Diesel Fossil Gasoline While demand of transport services more than doubles, biofuels complement end-use efficiency and strong growth in electricity, providing almost 3% of transport final energy demand in 26

8 Advanced biofuels play a key role EJ Biojet Biodiesel - advanced Biodiesel - conventional Biomethane Ethanol - advanced Ethanol - conventional

9 Electricity generation in 2DS TWh Biomass with CCS Biomass Other Renewables Hydro Nuclear Natural gas Coal Oil Bio-electricity grows 7-fold and goes from 2 to 7% of electricity generation

10 Four key actions 1. Promote short term deployment of mature options 2. Stimulate the development and deployment of new technologies 3. Deliver the necessary feedstock sustainably, backed by a supportive sustainability governance system 4. Develop capacity and catalyse investment via a coordinated international collaboration effort Need for appropriate policy frameworks

11 Stimulate development and deployment of new technologies Some routes to new biofuels New technologies needed with good carbon performance and adapted to market roles in 2DS. Continued R,D and D to reduce costs and improve GHG performance of existing biofuels technologies Demonstrate reliable performance from existing novel biofuels plants Develop and demonstrate routes to diesel and biojet with improved costs, better C balances and GHG performance (link to RE H 2 production) Identify potential and development paths for cost reduction

12 Advanced biofuels cost reduction potential USD/GJ EJ Novel biofuels costs carbon costs Costs can be reduced by o the impact of R&D o scale-up economies of scale o experiential learning. o scope for integration with other processes and leveraging/using existing infrastructure o adding value to co-and by-products o Reducing financing costs Production (right axis) Support costs to buy down costs c 1Bn$ -.5% of fossil fuel costs in transport

13 Deliver the necessary feedstock sustainably EJ MSW Residues Forestry operations Agriculture Total -Minimum Total Maximum 2DS/B2DS needs Deployment will need wastes, residues, forestry and energy crops Produced in line with sustainable resource management, forestry and agricultural practice Produced with minimized impacts on land use change emissions by coproduction with food, use of under-productive land, improved production Supported by general effort to improve agricultural productivity and efficiency

14 What next? Influencing - Strategy for IEA Bioenergy - Biofuture Platform - MI Sustainable Bioenergy Challenge Follow up of key deployment indicators via IEA Clean Energy Progress Report. Continued cooperation/coordination of international organisations - Potential for cost reduction for advanced biofuels - Potential for bioenergy in industry (along with other renewables) - Role of international aid agencies and lenders in bioenergy - Expanded work on synergies between bioenergy and wider bioeconomy - Identification of policy best practice for stimulation of sustainable bioenergy including novel biofuels - Effective application of sustainability criteria for bioenergy, including for forestry based biomass.

15 Conclusions Sustainable bioenergy is an essential element in the portfolio of measures needed for a low carbon scenario. Biofuels can play a particularly important role in the transport sectors. Advanced biofuels key to success low emissions, use in aviation and shipping Progress is much slower than necessary so we need to: - Expand deployment of existing technologies - Commercialise the new technologies - Develop sustainable supply chains and appropriate sustainability governance systems - Build technical and regulatory capacity in a much wider range of countries and regions
