13 Future role of biofuels IPCC SRREN 2011 IEA 2011
14 Why biofuels? Legal frameworks: Promoting the use of biofuels [...] could create new opportunities for sustainable rural development in a more market-orientated common agriculture policy Greater use of biofuels for transport forms a part of the package of measures needed to comply with the Kyoto Protocol Increased use of biofuels for transport [...] is one of the tools by which the Community can reduce its dependence on imported energy and influence the fuel market for transport and hence the security of energy supply in the medium and long term.. Source: EU Directive 2003/30/EC
15 Why biofuels? 1. Goal: Sustainable rural development Excess food production Land set aside (taken out of production) After a few years, cultivation of energy and industrial crops on set-aside land was permitted Introduction of an energy crop premium Diversification needed: Farmers were dependent on food and feed production
16 Why biofuels? 2. Goal: Climate protection Transport sector should contribute to climate protection Multiple options, among others substitution of conventional fuels by more environmentally benign fuels (CNG, LPG or biofuels) Biofuels are considered to be environmentally friendly Liquid biofuels suitable for blending
17 Why biofuels? 3. Goal: Security of energy supply Germany / Europe dependent on imported energy Diversification: Transport sector dependent on crude oil

33 Life cycle assessment (LCA) ISO & Goal and scope definition Inventory analysis Interpretation Impact assessment
34 Results: Biofuels versus fossil fuels 1. Rapeseed oil biodiesel (RME) shows environmental advantages as well as disadvantages when compared to conventional diesel fuel. 2. RME shows advantages with regard to nonrenewable energy resources and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (as long as no land use change is occuring). 3. In contrast, RME shows disadvantages with regard to acidification, eutrophication and nitrous oxide emissions. 4. The results don t show clear tendencies with regard to summer smog.
35 Results: Biofuels versus fossil fuels 5. An objective decision for or against RME cannot be made. However, based on a subjective value system a decision is possible. 6. If, for example, energy saving and greenhouse effect is given the highest priority, RME performs better than conventional diesel fuel.

55 Sustainability criteria / certification Criteria for a Sustainable Use of Bioenergy on a Global Scale Report commissioned by the Federal Environment Agency (UBA), Dessau, in cooperation with FSC Germany & K. Lanje IFEU Authors: Horst Fehrenbach, Jürgen Giegrich & Guido Reinhardt Final report: January 2008 To be continued by IFEU and Öko-Institute: Development of strategies and sustainability standards for certification of biomass for international trade
56 Sustainability criteria / certification Directive 2009/28/EC on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources Ordinance on requirements for sustainable production of biofuels (Biokraft-NachV ) Europe: RE Directive Germany: Sustain. ordinance
57 Sustainability criteria / certification Criteria: The greenhouse gas emission saving from the use of biofuels and other bioliquids shall be 35% (50% from 2017) Biofuels and other bioliquids shall not be made from raw material obtained from land with high biodiversity value (e.g. primary forests), high carbon stock (e.g. wetlands) or peatlands. Agricultural raw materials cultivated in the Community and used for the production of biofuels and other bioliquids shall be obtained in accordance with the minimum requirements for good agricultural and environmental condition. Open issue: Inclusion of indirect land use change
58 Indirect land use change (iluc) Europe: importing biomass or biofuel (1) (2) tropical producer country: replaces previously given (certified) good practise cultivation on the same production of biomass acreage for export INDIRECT INDUCTION OF FOREST LOGGING (4) the area somewhere else is likely to be forest (3) the previous cropping is displaced to an area somewhere else Source: IFEU 2008
59 Indirect land use change (iluc) Europe: expanding domestic biomass production for biofuel (1) (2) (certified) good practise replaces previously given production of biomass cultivation on the same acreage, e.g. animal food INDIRECT INDUCTION OF FOREST LOGGING (4) the required area for animal food production is likely to be forest (3) animal food will be imported increasingly, e.g. from tropical countries Source: IFEU 2008
60 Certification: Challenges Traditional uses: Palm oil: cooking oil, margarine, soap, candles Palm kernel oil: frying fat, confectionery, detergents, cosmetics Press cake: animal feed Future uses: Palm oil: liquid biofuel (PPO or biodiesel) Energy use: Only 5% up to now, but huge potential! Threat: Certified green palm oil in our cars but unsustainable palm oil in our margarine or detergent!
61 Certification: Challenges Displacement = generic problem of restricted system boundaries Accounting problem of partial analysis ( just biofuels, no explicit modeling of agro + forestry sectors) All incremental land-uses imply indirect effects Analytical and political implications Analysis: which displacement when & where? Policy: which instruments? Partial certification schemes do not help, but have spill-over effects Future global GHG regime with cap for all sectors & countries: no leakage = no indirect effects! Any agricultural land use, i.e. also food and feed production, must be included in a certification scheme! Source: Öko 2008

65 Increased demand for land Intensified production on existing agricultural land, e.g. to the detriment of agro-environmental programs Re-utilisation of set-aside land, which had been taken out of use for nature quality reasons (among others) Expansion of agricultural land through conversion of natural ecosystems (e.g. grasslands or forests) Land use change Reclamation of idle or degraded land, which possibly needs high input, e.g. intensive irrigation of semi-arid regions. Increased land use competition and conflicts

70 Outline Introduction Challenging two hypotheses behind biofuels Climate protection Life cycle assessment (LCA) Impact of land use changes on GHG balances Sustainability criteria, certification and the iluc problem Security of energy supply Land availability, biomass potentials & bioenergy trade Conclusions
71 Conclusions 1. LCA is a suitable tool for the assessment of a product s environmental impacts. Energy and GHG balances only show part of the picture, i.e. other impacts have to be considered, too. 2. LCA results show that biofuels are associated with both positive and negative environmental impacts, i.e. the use of biomass is not environmentally friendly per se, simply because biomass is a renewable resource 3. Biofuels usually show advantages with regard to non-renewable energy resources and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (as long as no land use change is occurring).
72 Conclusions 4. Direct and indirect land use changes have a significant impact on GHG balances which can even turn out negative, i.e. biofuels would cause more GHG emissions than fossil fuels. The contribution to climate protection is questionable. 5. Sustainability criteria and certification are a step into the right direction, but have to be extended to solid and gaseous biofuels or at best to all kinds of biomass uses. 6. Indirect effects have to be addressed, not only in terms of GHG balance but also regarding biodiversity and food security
73 Conclusions 7. Land availability and biomass potentials are constrained, i.e. different land uses and biomass uses are competing 8. Strategies for an optimal allocation of biomass to different sectors have to be developed (including bio-based materials etc.) 9. Due to limited biomass potentials in Europe, a significant import of biomass will be necessary. Security of energy supply might be increased due to larger number of suppliers, however, seasonal/ annual variability might increase risk. 10. The largest unexploited resource is energy efficiency which needs to be prioritised over simple substitution.
