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).

Conversion

Fuel chains (relevant, effective, sustainable)

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

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)
