LAMNET Thematic Priorities Analysis of the Energy Policy Framework Assessment of Energy Demand and Biomass Resources Assessment of available Technologies and Systems Development and Implementation of Technology and Policy Options for the Promotion of Bioenergy
Focus of Network Activities - 1 Co-generation of Heat and Electricity based on sugar cane bagasse and other suitable biomass resources Large-scale implementation of bioethanol production (sugar cane, sweet sorghum, agroforestry residues) Creation of a global bioethanol market Promotion of Integrated Bioenergy Complexes (Bioenergy-Food-Feed Complexes) Distillation Column, Copersucar, Brazil
Focus of Network Activities - 2 Promotion of small- and medium-scale decentralised bioenergy systems Advanced pelletising technologies Micro-turbines for co-generation Micro-distilleries for ethanol production, Charcoal production from residues Efficient biomass cooking stoves Pelletiser machine, Italy
Biomass Energy and Climate Change Current Global Energy Demand: 400 EJ/a (10 billion TOE/a) Current Global Emission of Carbon: 6,3 Gt/a 2100 Global Energy Demand (SRES Scenarios): 515-2700 EJ/a 2050 Global Bioenergy Potential: 100-1130 EJ/a Biomass Category Potential Bioenergy supply (EJ) 1. Biomass on surplus agricultural land 0-988 2. Biomass on degraded land 8-110 3. Agricultural residues 10 27 4. Forest residues 10 16 5. Animal manure 9 25 6. Organic waste (+ bio-material waste) 1 3 (+31) 7. Bio-materials Minus 79-115 TOTAL 100-1130 M. Hoogwijk et al.
Crucial Factors influencing the Future Bioenergy Potential Availability of land for energy production Population growth Type of diet consumed Food production system Other competing land use Alternative land use options for degraded land Material production Carbon sequestration Nature conservation Productivity level of forests and energy crops Physical factors (soil quality, climate, water availability) Socio-economic factors (cost of labour and land)
