1 THE NET ENERGY OF BIOFUELS Dario Cordisco Melachroini Makrelli Miriam Peces EPROBIO 16th June 2011
2 Index Introduction Net Energy EROI FER PRR Examples Biodiesel from soybean Conclusions
3 INTRODUCTION Bioenergy: Any kind of energy from natural resources. Biofuel: Renewable energy source produced from natural materials (biomass). Biofuels 1st generation 2nd generation 3rd generation 4th generation 3
4 Generation Feedstocks Examples 1st generation 2nd generation 3rd generation 4th generation Sugar, wheat, starch, animal fat Non-food crops, corn, wood, solid waste Algae Vegetable oil, biodiesel Bioalcohols, biodiesel, biosyngas, biogas. Bioalcohols,bio-oil, biohydrogen, Vegetable oil, biodiesel. Biogasoline Demirbas et al.,
5 PROS AND CONS Global Bioenergy Partnership,
6 Are biofuels convenient in terms of energy? 6
7 NET ENERGY BALANCE Net energy balance (NEB): Technique for evaluating the amount of energy delivered to society by a technology to the total energy required to obtain it. NEB = E supplied - E required 7
8 Energy Return on Investment (EROI): tool of net energy analysis to compare the amount of energy delivered by a fuel. E by fuel supplied EROI = E required to obtain fuel EROI > 1 Advantageous EROI < 1 Disadvantageous Charles A.S.,
9 Fossil Energy Ratio (FER): the energy output of the final biofuel product to the fossil energy required to produce the biofuel. FER = E renewable fuel output E fossil fuel input 6 5 Fossil energy ratio Cellulosic ethanol biorefinery Corn ethanol Gasoline Electricity Sheehan et al.,
10 Petroleum Replacement Ratio (PRR): Reflects the degree of reliance on petroleum for a given energy carrier PRR = Liquid fuels delivered to user Petroleum energy used Petroleum replacement ratio Cellulosic ethanol biorefinery Corn ethanol Gasoline Farell et al.,

15 Invest or not to invest on biofuels? 15
16 CONCLUSIONS Main goal reduce energy costs EROI it s very general To make biofuels attractive FER and PRR EROI not enough to determine sustainability of the whole process being necessary to study other indicators as well as environmental and economic aspects 16
