Optimizing bioenergy supply chains: the BeWhere model P.Patrizio, S.Leduc, S.Mesfun, P.Yowargana, F.Kraxner Ecosystems Services and Management Program (ESM) patrizip@iiasa.ac.at
Outline Background Model description Input data Example of case studies Online application Capacity building 2
Background Bioenergy is promoted as a key to reach the 2020 renewable targets Biofuels currently constitute the major option regarding renewable energy in transport. Increased use of biofuels is not without complications: uncertainties regarding CO2 mitigation potential and issues related to ecosystem conservations 3
Background: Economy of Scale 4

BECCS in Indonesia 35
Biomass and managed forest Produced from G4M Harvest potential per year 10% used for biofuel production
Feedstock Assumptions Only forest biomass used Competition with pulp & paper mills Wood demand for pulp = 40 Mm 3 /a to be met first Max allowed fraction of increment to be used 20% or 50% Natural parks and protected areas are excluded. PJ Mm 3 Managed 8,537 923 Unmanaged 4,594 497 Total Forest Biomass in Indonesia
Pulp & Paper Mills
CHP - only managed 20% increment # plants with suitable storage access Captured CO2 at 80% capture efficiency Carbon benefit @ 5 US$/ton 1,185 MW 2.5 Mt CO2/yr 12.5 mill. US$ Only a small fraction of Indonesia s emission reduction target, but much bigger if allowing for bundling, taking into account other feedstocks (only managed forest used now) and adding other technologies (relatively low cooling demand now).
