IEA Bioenergy, also known as the Implementing Agreement for a Programme of Research, Development and Demonstration on Bioenergy, functions within a Framework created by the International Energy Agency (IEA). Views, findings and publications of IEA Bioenergy do not necessarily represent the views or policies of the IEA Secretariat or of its individual Member countries. Highlights in a nutshell By: Kees W. Kwant Chair: IEA Bioenergy 25 October 2015

Content  Bioenergy in a changing environment  The role of IEA Bioenergy  Results of triennium 2013 – 2015  The way forward for IEA Bioenergy

Bioenergy’s significant potential to contribute to future global energy demand Bioenergy’s role in the transition to a low carbon economy Bioenergy’s role in the emerging bio- based economy Bioenergy’s intrinsic interlinkage with the growing demand for food, feed and fibre 3 Bioenergy in a changing environment

4 Biomass expected to grow: ETP Biomass: 2010: 54 EJ -> 2050: 148 EJ

GOAL: Facilitating commercialisation and market deployment of environmentally sound, socially acceptable and cost- competitive bioenergy systems and technologies……… Key Role: Independent body to give clear and verified information on bioenergy 6 IEA BIOENERGY

3. Results of IEA Bioenergy  Technology Development Cleaner/ More Efficiency/ New Products  Clean woodstoves  Pyrolysis  Methane from Syngas  Biorefineries  2nd Generation  Biofuels

Policy Advise, Sustainability  Market reviews  Energy from Waste  Small scale CHP  Biorefineries in the Bioeconomy  Review of implementation of Certification  Review of GHG accounting, joint workshop with EEA, JRC  iLUC workshop reveals opportunities to grow and produce witout iLUC  Mobilizing sustainable Bioenergy Supply Chains

Land Use and mitigating iLUC  iLUC can be prevented!  Good agricultural practices  Growth Intensification  Improved crop yields  Nutrient/Water efficiency improvement  Holistic Approach  Integrate solutions for demand for food, fibres, fuels  Reduce waste of resources

As an independent body to give clear and verified information on bioenergy 10 4.Growing role of IEA BIOENERGY NEW Strategic Plan

11 OBJECTIVES OF STRATEGIC PLAN Objective 1 - promote market deployment Objective 2 - to raise public awareness through communication with key stakeholders Objective 3 - to strengthen the outreach efforts to involve interested: new member countries, industry and multilateral organisations Objective 4 - to increase the dissemination of information

12 NEW THEMES in Micro- and macro- algae as novel biomass resources Solar fuels (artificial photosynthesis) Biomass with carbon capture and sequestration Grid/system Integration

13 Strengthen Outreach Internal: Technology development and deployment through Tasks’ programmes and ExCo engagement Strategic projects to address and resolve cross- Tasks’ issues and broader topics New communication strategy Use of Social Media (Linked In, Twitter) Webinars 1 Website as central point

14 Strengthen Outreach External through Collaboration; GBEP IRENA SE4ALL FAO Expanded and more effective collaboration with other international bodies FAO Bioenergy & Food Security GBEP Sustainability assessment IRENA Policies to stimulate Renewable Energy and bioenergy SE4ALL High Impact Opportunity Bioenergy to realise jointly market introduction
