“…No datasets with location‐specific information supported by field experiments exist (Kluts, Wicke, Leemans, & Faaij, ; Spöttle et al., ), and estimates of possible harvest rates can differ for the same crop and location. European‐wide averages for so‐called sustainable harvest rates are commonly in the 40‐60% range for major cereals and oil seed crops (Daioglou, Stehfest, Wicke, Faaij, & Vuuren, ; De Wit & Faaij, ; Elbersen et al., ; Monforti et al., ; Pudelko, Borzecka‐Walker, & Faber, ; Scarlat, Martinov, & Dallemand, ), while site‐specific estimates vary within a broader range (Monforti et al., ; Spöttle et al., ).…”

“…Studies have used geographic information system (GIS) approaches to estimate bioenergy supply potentials in Europe for rapeseed biodiesel systems (van Duren, Voinov, Arodudu, & Firrisa, 2015), crop residues (Haase, Rösch, & Ketzer, 2016;Monforti, Bódis, Scarlat, & Dallemand, 2013;Monforti et al, 2015), forest residues (Díaz-Yáñez, Mola-Yudego, Anttila, Röser, & Asikainen, 2013), and woody biomass (Verkerk, Anttila, Eggers, Lindner, & Asikainen, 2011). Esteban and Carrasco (2011) assessed agricultural and forest resources and the associated collection costs at the NUTS2 level (Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics level 2).…”

Geospatial supply–demand modeling of biomass residues for co‐firing in European coal power plants

et al. 2018

Biomass co-firing with coal is a near-term option to displace fossil fuels and can facilitate the development of biomass conversion and the build-out of biomass supply infrastructure. A GIS-based modeling framework (EU-28, Norway, and Switzerland) is used to quantify and localize biomass demand for co-firing in coal power plants and agricultural and forest residue supply potentials; supply and demand are then matched based on minimizing the total biomass transport costs (field to gate). Key datasets (e.g., land cover, land use, and wood production) are available at 1,000 m or higher resolution, while some data (e.g., simulated yields) and assumptions (e.g., crop harvest index) have lower resolution and were resampled to allow modeling at 1,000 m resolution. Biomass demand for co-firing is estimated at 184 PJ in 2020, corresponding to an emission reduction of 18 Mt CO 2 . In all countries except Italy and Spain, the sum of the forest and agricultural residues available at less than 300 km from a co-firing plant exceeds the assessed biomass demand. The total cost of transporting residues to these plants is reduced if agricultural residues can be used, as transport distances are shorter. The total volume of forest residues less than 300 km from a co-firing plant corresponds to about half of the assessed biomass demand. Almost 70% of the total biomass demand for co-firing is found in Germany and Poland. The volumes of domestic forest residues in Germany (Poland) available within the cost range 2-5 (1.5-3.5) €/GJ biomass correspond to about 30% (70%) of the biomass demand. The volumes of domestic forest and agricultural residues in Germany (Poland) within the cost range 2-4 (below 2) €/GJ biomass exceed the biomass demand for co-firing.Half of the biomass demand is located within 50 km from ports, indicating that long-distance biomass transport by sea is in many instances an option.

“…It is expected that by 2050 bioenergy will provide 30% of the world's demanded energy. Monforti et al, (2015) provides an estimate of available agricultural residues and related potential energy production obtainable without impacting the EU soil organic carbon (SOC) stock showing how SOC content preservation imposes the application of different collection rates for agricultural residues across the EU, depending on factors such as climate, soil type, current farming practices and pre-existing cultivation history.…”

This review includes works published in the general scientific literature during 2015 on the production of bioenergy and biofuel from waste residues generated during bioethanol and biodiesel production with a brief overview of current and emerging feedstocks. A section of this review summarizes literature on culturing algae for biofuels including bioreactors and open pond cultivation systems with the utilization of inorganic and organic sources of nutrients. New methods applicable to the mass culture of algae are highlighted. Algal cell harvesting and oil extraction techniques tested and developed for algae discussed alongwith policies and economics are also provided.

“…The signatory countries of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have adopted different measures to contain the emissions of harmful gases; however, they all consider bioenergy as a source of renewable energy (RE). The European Union (EU), whose contribution to energy consumption (starting from 2458 PJ in 2005) will reach 4605 PJ in 2020, has adopted ambitious goals for using RE and bioenergy …”

Despite the recent discoveries of considerable fossil fuel reserves, Brazil is one of the only great economic and industrial powers with very high amounts of renewable energy in its electricity matrix. Approximately 79.3% of the electric energy supply comes from renewable resources, of which hydroelectric power represents 70.6%. The two primary concerns regarding hydroelectricity are the damage caused to the environment by the construction of dams and the uncertainty of the supply in cases of long drought seasons. This article presents an analysis on the availability and energy exploitation of sugarcane straw and forest residues derived from eucalyptus for decentralized generation using a Geographic Information System–based model. The potential bioelectricity and bioethanol production from sugarcane and eucalyptus biomass in the Administrative Region of Campinas (ARC) is higher than the demand in this region. The results provide guidelines for designing alternatives to the intended Nationally Determined Contributions in Brazil within the scope of the ARC, and they can be used to provide energy empowerment, electric matrix diversification, and new policies that address the residue availability and demand.
