1 EPROBIO Intensive program Foggia, July 2012 Life cycle assessment of bioenergy Wouter Achten & Joana Almeida KU Leuven, Belgium
2 Content Revisit general methodology Methodology issues in LCA of bioenergy systems Example: Oil palm biodiesel Literature examples/overview: Biodiesels Bioethanol Biogas
3 LCA Method Goal and scope Inventory Interpretation Conclusions Recommendations Product/system improvement Policy making Impact assessment
4 Goal and Scope Funtional unit Impact category System boundaries Reference system Allocation
5 Functional unit - bioenergy Input unit related: Mass or energy of input biomass Independant from conversion processes and type of end-use Allows comparing the best use for a given feedstock Output unit related: Unit of heat, power or distance transport Allows comparison of the provision of a certain service from different feedstocks Unit of agricultural land Hectares Year Used in characterized by multiple final products It allows avoiding an allocation 10% 70% 15% 5% Cherebuni & Stromman, Bioresource Technology, 2011
6 Functional unit - bioenergy Global warming potential of electricity production from short rotation coppice , ,12 ton CO2-eq./ha/100jr fk wilg Miscanthus hakhout ton CO2-eq./GJprod 0,1 0,08 0,06 0,04 0, emissie productsysteem (per ha) emissie referentiesysteem (per ha) vermeden broeikasgasemissie (per ha) 0 vermeden broeikasgasemissie (per geproduceerde GJ) Lettens et al., Biomass & Bioneregy, 2003 Performance on a ha basis (figure left) differs from the one on an energetic basis Show result using different functional units? Which question do you want to answer?
7 Impact category - bioenergy Energy balance 8% GHG balance Energy + GHG balance > Energy + GHG balance 18% 23% 50%
8 Impact category - bioenergy Achten et al., Applied Energy, 2010
9 System boundaries - bioenergy Cradle-to-grave (well-to-wheel): Biomass production Processing and transport Use phase (end of life) is important Waste Important direct emissions: N 2 O field emissions 1-5% of N fertilizer application = 298 CO 2 eq CO 2 final combustion of bioenergy (Winter 2011)
10 System boundaries - bioenergy Land use change 23% Direct Indirect LCA limitation: Static Arbitrary amortization period (20 year in EU directive) Discounting LCA in timesteps Carbon debt
11 Carbon debt GHG emissions Fossil Biodiesel Biodiesel Fossil Carbon debt (CO 2 eq per ha) Land LCA use change: Biodiesel clearing system land reduces GHG emissions soil emissions compared to fossil CO 2 diesel Repayment time (yr) (Adapted from Vandenbempt 2008, Thanks!) x y Time
12 dluc - Carbon debt LCA results Fargione et al Science
13 iluc Direct land use change Indirect land use change (dluc) (iluc) Land use change towards bioenergy crops can trigger a land use change else where in the world (eg. deforestation) eg. US switch to Corn triggered Deforestation in Brazil
14 iluc US boeren: maize &soy maize & maize US: soy-export Price Soy Global: Soy cultivation-intensity Deforestation in Brazil for soy Process emissions Who is responsible? + indirect Process emissions + indirect LUC emissions
15 dluc & iluc Carbon debt Brazil Lapola et al PNAS
16 dluc & iluc Carbon debt Brazil Lapola et al PNAS
17 Reference system - bioenergy Fossil reference system 75% Other biofuel system as reference 12% No reference system 13% Cherebuni & Stromman, Bioresource Technology, 2011
18 Allocation - bioenergy Allocation by ratio Mass Energy Economic EU 48% 11% 20% 17% Avoiding allocation System boundary expansion PAS2050, ISO Choice of functional unit (area, input related) 31% 25% 6% Ignored 7% Unknown 11%
19 LCA Method Goal and scope Inventory Interpretation Conclusions Recommendations Product/system improvement Policy making Impact assessment
