§  Presents the most significant recent evolutions with relevance to the advancement of biofuels and bioenergy technologies and policies

§  Highlights the corresponding research, development and demonstration activities and priorities for the next decades necessary to achieve long-term bioenergy policy goals

§  Identifies the potential for biofuels and bioenergy technologies to contribute to the decarbonisiation of the current energy system and in particular the transport sector

§  Brings together knowledge and expertise of a diversity of stakeholders (research und development, industry, NGOs)

SRIA 2016: statements still valid in 2018?

§  Uncertainties and fragmentation of policies §  Volatile prices – mineral oil and biomass §  Policy shift from biofuels to decarbonization of transport sector §  A number of mature technologies for advanced biofuels - move from R&D to deployment §  Holistic view required – value chains, transport systems, sustainability, end markets §  The 2018 update is in its final steps of approval

Relevant developments for the SRIA 2018

§  Political framework post 2020: (Energy Union governance, RED II) §  Fossil energy prices: Continue to be low §  Biomass sustainability discussion: Ongoing and far from consensus §  Project/company failures since 2016 – but also successful pilots/demos §  Broadened scope of ETIP Bioenergy §  Significant need for bioenergy in most energy scenarios for 2030/2060 §  Market integration electricity/heating&cooling/transport §  Transport sector key market (aviation, maritime, heavy duty road) §  More prominence for gaseous fuels in public discussion §  Increasing market shares of other RES- integration crucial §  Considerable R&I investments (e.g. EU H2020 advanced bioenergy: 350 M€)

§  Recommendations by other organisations/initiatives: IEA Bioenergy Roadmap, IRENA, EC ECORYS Study, SET-Plan TWG8, EERA, SGAB Technology Status Report

Key messages

§ Policies, market regulations and financing are constant issues to bring advanced biofuels and bioenergy to the market

§ Challenge of societal acceptance § Key criteria for economic viability: ideal locations / infrastructure, secure

market for products and long-term raw material supply

§ Biomass supply and mobilisation is of paramount importance for biofuels/bioenergy to succeed at larger scale

§ “Agreeable corridor“ of sustainable global bioenergy use until 2030, e.g. 70 –90 EJ? (Fritsche 2018, based on IEA Roadmap)

14

Key messages

§ There is no one-fits all situation as each biofuel/bioenergy plant requires its own specific plant design

§ Synergies with existing industrial production facilities deserve priority R&D attention, both for biofuels and other products

§ The key priorities for biofuel technologies are to improve environmental (GHG, energy balance, water, inputs…) and economic performance and bring flexibility as integrated biorefineries

§ Work to ensure a fair appreciation of CO2 emissions of vehicles running on biofuels (well-to-wheel approach, electric vehicles and vehicles running on renewable fuel should be treated using equal criteria)

§ Understanding the ‘best fit’ of alternatives in the various sectors of transport

15

SET Plan Action 8 §  Bioenergy and Renewable Fuels for Sustainable Transport

§  SET Plan has 10 Key Actions, under them 14 Implementation Plans (IPs)

§  Temporary Working Groups (TWGs) prepare IPs ([½.]...1…1 ½ years)

§  IPs are all individuals; same hat does not fit all

§  After endorsement of IPs the real work starts; execution/enforcement of IPs §  Monitoring and disseminating activities progress and results (JRC) §  Post-endorsement: workshops for stakeholders, co-operation etc. §  ETIPs have strong role §  NOTE: SET Plan or Actions/IPs don’t have extra funding. All done with

existing & future resources (EU, national, private) §  Not closed club: can join in (and step out) – but no free lunch…

§  So far 11 IPs have been endorsed by the SET-Plan Steering Group (SG) including action 8 in June 2018

SET Plan Action 8

18

The structure of Action 8 is two-part: 1)  bioenergy for heating and cooling and 2)  renewable fuels for sustainable transport.

§  The renewable transport is not only liquid biofuels but also biogas and hydrogen / fuel cells etc. NOTE: EVs not here!

§  The Action 8 IP is prepared by a TWG: about 30 stakeholders and country representatives §  The IP covers and recalls the earlier set priorities and targets and overview the R&I

activities. §  “The goal of the IP is to translate SET-Plan key actions into specific recommendations for

R&I actions and/or policy measures related to innovation, identifying strategy and actions that need to be implemented to reach targets set in the Declaration of Intent (DoI), coordinating R&I activities and stimulate joint actions by funding actors, also considering international cooperation. “

§  The estimated investment volume, to be provided by stakeholders, Member States and European Commission, amounts to 107 billion €

§  All the energy technologies have different kind of barriers and obstacles, like public acceptance, high prices compared to common, fossil based solution and sustainability questions etc.

§  These are all relevant, but in SET Plan it is question of technology development. Many bioenergy-related issues are in RED II etc.

RED II and SET-Plan targets

§  The updated SET Plan puts very challenging targets for the specific cost, conversion efficiency and the overall installed capacity of advanced biofuels in 2030.

§  The challenge to meet the RED II and the SET Plan targets, respectively, is to set the conditions to proceed with the available and more developed (higher TRL) advanced biofuel technologies into demonstrations and industrial deployment early in the next decade to achieve the build-up of capacity required by any of the targets discussed.

§  Coordinated actions and cooperation is key

§  No excuse to sit and wait…
