Rationale for international bio-energy trade. Potential regional surpluses of biomass versus regional demand. Economic arguments GHG mitigation impacts Pricing policy & market development Sustainable development schemes (?)...

Production sites Central Gathering point Rail transport River / ocean Border Logistics Ship transport Harbour and/or coastal CGP Conversion Unit

Key questions & criteria What is an optimal use of resources (land, biomass) Which chains are optimal from environmental (GHG in particular) point of view? Does bio-energy import and trade meet a broad set of sustainability criteria (ecological, social, economic)? How can short term actions contribute to long term viability of the bio-energy (trade) option?

Key questions GHG mitigation effects (export versus indigenous utilization; different utilisation options). Ecologically sound: soil quality, nutrient balances, biodiversity, water resources... Fair distribution of (economic) benefits among (local) actors involved. Is a long term, sustainable supply of biomass resources guaranteed? Implementation schemes and strategies? Legal issues and certification? (…)

Key Remarks (1) Biotrade is one of the options for trading the benefits of GHG neutral energy (JI, CDM, CER’s…) Allocation rules for GHG benefits to be ‘fixed’. International trade as an instrument for building stable markets; especially also for exporters. Integrity control of the total chain is required. We need an incentive; who is providing this? Be aware of potential (serious) market distortions (e.g pulp and paper industry) with growing demand for bio-energy; Good communication with key sectors is essential to develop schemes.

Key Remarks (2) Key drivers at present: Costs; a market is a market! Does trade stimulate (technological) progress (or not?) Avoid creating ‘perverse’ incentives. Major effects on local bio-energy markets could be seen; shifts of production areas. Fuel/energy security an argument for biotrade? (!). Level playing field (e.g. environmental regulations) is needed. Major opportunities for developing countries (employment, equity), but only when ‘controlled’ and ‘sustainable’ (…)

Key Remarks (3) Existing infrastructure offers opportunities; improvements in logistics can be considerable. Needed: –Integrated system analysis (impacts on markets, overall efficiency improvements, effect of market interventions) –Resolve equity issues (value added, CDM vs. ‘export’, foreign debt, opportunities and open markets. –Policy frameworks, transparancy, certification.
