Energy use in Sweden – Bioenergy is the largest energy source!!
1/3 Bioenergy 1/3 Fossil > 50 % RES > 65% CO2 neutral
Biomass Use (in TWh) of biomass and peat* by sector 1980-2011
*3.1 TWh Peat used in 2011
Sustained Increase in Bioenergy Use in Sweden
Tax on Carbon – an effective instrument (combined with R&D)!
• Introduced in 1991 • 2015: Doubled tax
for industry • From 2013: Industry
within ETS excluded
Wood Pellet Production and Use (kton)
Development of waste management in Sweden over the last decades (Avfall Sverige, 2014).
The development of landfilling as a consequence of introduced policies (Avfall Sverige, 2014).

Conversion
Fuel chains (relevant, effective, sustainable)
Supply of biomass fuels • Today mainly by-products from industry and forestry,
and some waste • New biomass supply chains are needed • R&I is focused on
– Supply of fuels from agriculture, including fast growing tree crops (willow, aspen, poplar)
– More effective systems to produce, extract and deliver forest biomass fuels
– Fuel quality and characterization – Better and new processing and refining of biomass for
different users, and to facilitate long transports – Environmental aspects
Conversion • Bioenergy is mainly used in forest industry, district heating
and local heating, CHP and some biofuels for transportation • R&I focused on
– Increased electrical efficiency in CHP – Increased fuel flexibility – Biomass gasification – Small scale CHP and better systems for local heating – Emissions – Pilot and demonstration projects – CCS, bio-CCS – More biomass in industries, including biorefineries – System questions, especially resource efficiency,
Forest fuels – sustainability issues • Felling residues – removal of plant nutrients, organic
matter and buffering compounds • Removal of dead wood • Effects on soil, forest production, water and
biodiversity? • Environmental considerations and adaptation
measures • Climate effects: Effects on carbon balances and GHG
emissions • LCA and energy balances, resource efficiency • How to fulfil national environmental objectives as well
as international sustainability criteria
Bioeconomy - definition
Formas (SWE) • Sustainable production of biomass • Optimised value of eco system
services and contribution to economy
EU White paper: • ” The transition from a dependence
on fossil fuels to a situation where agriculture not only will continue to provide food security but also biomass as a renewable raw material for industry will be the basis of the coming integrated Bioeconomy”
Ref: The European Bioeconomy in 2030, White Paper

Some important keys to bioenergy development!
• Policy – economic incentives/legislation – Interaction with policy makers
• Industrial interest • Bioeconomy – systems perspective
– Bioenergy = Utilisation of Waste • A good balance between:
– Academic research (publications, competence, international networks) – Applied research programmes adressing industrial problems (and forming networks)
