Targets for 2030 – Emissions

40% cut in greenhouse gas emissions compared to 40% cut in greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990 levels1990 levels

The EU level target must be shared between the ETS and what the Member States must achieve collectively in the sectors outside of the ETS.

The ETS sector would have to deliver a reduction of 43% in GHG in 2030 and the non-ETS sector a reduction of 30% both compared to 2005.

In order to bring about the required emissions reduction in the ETS sector, the annual factor by which the cap on the maximum permitted emissions within the ETS decreases will have to be increased from 1.74% currently to 2.2% after 2020.



This EU level target will drive continued investment in renewable energy meaning, for example, that the share of renewable energy in the electricity sector would increase from 21% today to at least 45% in 2030.

Unlike in the current framework, the EU target would not be translated into national targets via EU legislation, thus leaving greater flexibility for Member States to meet their greenhouse gas reduction targets in the most cost-effective manner in accordance with their specific circumstances, energy mixes and capacities to produce renewable energy.

Targets for 2030 – Renewable Energies

At least a 27% share of renewable energy At least a 27% share of renewable energy consumptionconsumption



The Commission's analysis shows that a greenhouse gas emissions reduction target of 40% would require an increased level of energy savings of approximately 25% in 2030.

The European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI), which will mobilise €315 billion worth of investment over the coming years and will be crucial for Energy Union, has already financed projects (French housing stock).

EFSI will help address the chronic under investment in energy efficiency. More than €100 billion needs to be invested every year to achieve the 2030 energy efficiency target.

1. Ensuring food security: 70% increase in food demand supported ensuring to ensure an adequate preservation of food production as primary use in rural areas.

2. Managing natural resources sustainability: productivity increases while ensuring sustainable resource use and alleviating stress on the environment.

3. Reducing dependence on non-renewable resources: Bio-based products and bioenergy all contribute to the sustainable growth of a green economy.

4. Mitigating and adapting to climate change: Increasing carbon sequestration in agricultural soils and sea beds, monitoring forest resources.

5. Creating permanent qualified jobs and maintaining European competitiveness: The EU's bioeconomy sectors are worth € 2 trillion in annual turnover and account for more than 22 million jobs and approximately 9% of the workforce.

Key for Success: The Bioeconomy....?



EUBIA Approach to International BioeconomyEUBIA Approach to International Bioeconomy

The environmental sustainability of biomass feedstock has a huge impact on the whole value chain from land to bio-products

European and global biomass resources represent the raw material for a wide range of industry sectors, all of them expecting an impressing market growth with a related increase of biomass demand within 2050.

Biomass is the only existing renewable carbon source able to replace fossil fuels in the production of 73,000 market products.

HOWEVER...

The “good” biomass consumed worldwide is related to three main sectors:The “good” biomass consumed worldwide is related to three main sectors:

2. Emerging Sectors Heat & power, plastic,

The Emerging Bioeconomy based on waste valorization



...Is there a sufficient amount of residues in Europe?



European Countries are estimated to produce 143 Mtoe of biomass residues available only from agriculture.

Fig. Amount of agricultural residues available for energy production in EU-27 countries. ktonnes of dry matter. (Optimal energy use of agricultural crop residues preserving soil organic carbon stocks in Europe F. Monforti, 2015)

Agricultural Residues



Food residues

•Households waste (42%)

•Food processing (39%),

•Food service/catering (14%),

•Retail/wholesale (5%).

Over 100 million tons of food (25-28 MTOE) are estimated to be wasted annually in the EU (2014 estimation).

Estimated total food waste in EU (kTOE),



Forests represent another important source of residues: about 170-200 MTons (85MTOE) of forestry residues are available, 45-50 Mtons/year of them not yet used in Europe.

Forestry Residues



About 11,3 EJ of residues are available in Europe, equal to about 269 Million TOE

Bioenergy Production by source In Europe. Forecast 2020



...Is there a valuable Market perspective?



Bioelectricity

Bio-electricity generation expected growth in different world regions (IEA 2013)

Bioenergy share in total electricity will raise from 1,5% to 7,5% in 2050. In particular, the total expected electricity capacity in 2050 is estimated around 575GW by the International Energy Agency.

Investments in different forms will be needed to achieve this value. About 650 TWh electricity are expected to be generated in EU in 2050, equal to about 58 MTOE

Bioenergy & Bioelectricity



Expected growth of biofuels global market: 2010 to 2050 (IEA 2013)

The general expected growth for will bring liquid and gaseous transportation biofuels from a 2.5 EJ today to a 32 EJ in 2050, about 27% of the total transportation fuels consumption will be represented by Biofuels in 2050. Expected consumption in Europe is about 226 MTOE in 2050

Transportation Biofuels



Biochemicals and Bio-plastics

Global Cumulative novel bio-based chemicals capacity 2011-2012. (Phil Webster et al. A market overview on bio-based fuels and chemicals, 2012)

SBI Energy expects the bio-based chemicals market to grow to $12.2 billion by 2021, accounting for 25.4 billion pounds of bio-based chemical production at the end of the decade.



Benefits and bottlenecks towards a Bioeconomy based on organic waste

Economic benefits

Main Bottlenecks



EUBIA is orienting more and more on residues valorization strategies and technologies able to support a competitive development of the European Bioeconomy based on residual biomass valorization.

Not only woody biomass, but also food residues, animal dejections and liquid substrates

The main activity of the association is to develop, promote and support project strategies for an efficient exploitation of iLUC free resources, able to secure a sustainable development of the Biobased Industry sector.

EUBIA strongly believes in the need to improve the effectiveness of valuable existing and emerging technologies through their integration in small and medium scale biorefinery concepts

Connecting Industries towards new promising technologies
