Energy use in Sweden Bioenergy is the largest energy source!! 1/3 Bioenergy 1/3 Fossil > 50 % RES > 65% CO2 neutral
Biomass Use (in TWh) of biomass and peat* by sector 1980-2011 *3.1 TWh Peat used in 2011
Sustained Increase in Bioenergy Use in Sweden
Tax on Carbon an effective instrument (combined with R&D)! Introduced in 1991 2015: Doubled tax for industry From 2013: Industry within ETS excluded
Wood Pellet Production and Use (kton)
Development of waste management in Sweden over the last decades (Avfall Sverige, 2014).
The development of landfilling as a consequence of introduced policies (Avfall Sverige, 2014).
Bioenergy Feedstock Programme 2011-2015 (SEA) Biomass fuels from forest and agriculture Supply Fuel chains (relevant, effective, sustainable) Conversion refining, fuel quality, combustion < 10 MW Sustainability environment, sustainability, system aspects, GHG, market
Supply of biomass fuels Today mainly by-products from industry and forestry, and some waste New biomass supply chains are needed R&I is focused on Supply of fuels from agriculture, including fast growing tree crops (willow, aspen, poplar) More effective systems to produce, extract and deliver forest biomass fuels Fuel quality and characterization Better and new processing and refining of biomass for different users, and to facilitate long transports Environmental aspects
Conversion Bioenergy is mainly used in forest industry, district heating and local heating, CHP and some biofuels for transportation R&I focused on Increased electrical efficiency in CHP Increased fuel flexibility Biomass gasification Small scale CHP and better systems for local heating Emissions Pilot and demonstration projects CCS, bio-ccs More biomass in industries, including biorefineries System questions, especially resource efficiency,
Forest fuels sustainability issues Felling residues removal of plant nutrients, organic matter and buffering compounds Removal of dead wood Effects on soil, forest production, water and biodiversity? Environmental considerations and adaptation measures Climate effects: Effects on carbon balances and GHG emissions LCA and energy balances, resource efficiency How to fulfil national environmental objectives as well as international sustainability criteria
Bioeconomy - definition Formas (SWE) Sustainable production of biomass Optimised value of eco system services and contribution to economy EU White paper: The transition from a dependence on fossil fuels to a situation where agriculture not only will continue to provide food security but also biomass as a renewable raw material for industry will be the basis of the coming integrated Bioeconomy Ref: The European Bioeconomy in 2030, White Paper
En första förfrågan i augusti Forests Declining market One network Looking for new applications Chemistry Fossil-based raw materials A different network Looking for new bio-based raw materials Knowledge of forest products Manage and process forests Knowledge of end products Manage and process chemicals
From wood and agro-residues to food Biorefinery residual streams Wood and Agro-residues Single cell protein Food Cultivated fish

Some important keys to bioenergy development! Policy economic incentives/legislation Interaction with policy makers Industrial interest Bioeconomy systems perspective Bioenergy = Utilisation of Waste A good balance between: Academic research (publications, competence, international networks) Applied research programmes adressing industrial problems (and forming networks)
