  1. California Biomass CollaborativeRoadmap for Sustainable Development Strategic Policy Development Committee Public Workshop California Integrated Waste Management Board Sacramento, California 10 July 2007 Bryan M. Jenkins, Professor Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering University of California, Davis Executive Director, California Biomass Collaborative

  2. California Biomass Collaborative • Statewide biomass coordinating group • Biomass Facilities Reporting System • Biomass resource assessments • Technology assessments • Planning Functions/Policy • Needs Assessment • Roadmap for biomass development • Coordination with State Bioenergy Interagency Working Group http://biomass.ucdavis.edu Email: biomass@ucdavis.edu

  3. California Biomass Roadmap • Guidance document providing recommendations on how to develop and use biomass resources in California • Audience: policy makers, law makers, regulators, investors, researchers, developers, the public

  4. Scenarios for future development:In-state residue + bioenergy crop additions Hydrogen Biofuels Biomethane Electricity

  5. Priority Areas • Resource access and feedstock markets and supply • Market expansion, access, and technology deployment • Research, development, and demonstration • Education, training, and outreach • Policy, regulations, and statutes

  6. Priority Areas Resource access and feedstock markets and supply: Feedstock suppliers need access to biomass resources and must be able to deliver feedstock into biomass markets in sustainable ways and at acceptable prices. • Standards and best practices for sustainable feedstock supply • Land use • Environmental impacts

  7. Priority Areas Resource access and feedstock markets and supply (continued) • Resource monitoring • Dedicated biomass crops • Biomass collection and transport • Seasonality and storage • Biomass commodity markets • Biomass enterprise zones

  8. GIS Biomass and Bioenergy Supply Assessments • California • High resolution • Biomass Collaborative, STEPS • Western States • County level • WGA, Biomass Collaborative, STEPS, NREL, DOE, Chevron • Renewable Resources Assessment Group • UC Davis • Expand systemwide • Remote sensing

  9. BioenergyCrops • Cereals • Oilseeds • Sugar crops • Forages and grassses • Tree crops • Algae • Production characteristics, sustainable practices, crop selection

  10. Priority Areas Market expansion, access, and technology deployment: • Power plants, biorefineries, and other biomass converters require access to both biomass feedstock supplies and product markets. • Market access in turn requires both the physical capacity to deliver product through power lines, pipelines, trucks, and other transport systems, and the ability to price products competitively.

  11. Priority Areas Market expansion, access, and technology deployment (continued) • Funding and incentive mechanisms • Tax mechanisms, loans, contracts, and pricing structure • Regulatory incentives • Emission Offsets • Renewable Energy and Environmental Credits • Infrastructure improvements and access • Transmission Access • Biofuels Production Potential and Infrastructure • Technology deployment

  12. Priority Areas RD&D • Resource base, sustainability, and access • Feedstock processing and logistics • Bioscience and biotechnology • Conversion technology and process engineering • Systems analysis • Knowledge base, information dissemination, information resources

  13. Priority AreasEducation and Outreach • Public education and outreach to decision makers • Consumer information and education • Environmental justice • Industry training and professional education • K-12 education • Higher education • Research extension and technical interaction

  14. Priority AreasPolicy, regulations, and statutes • State policies, regulations, and laws influence behavior, technology implementation, resource management, and markets. • Policies need to be comprehensive, allow for effective innovation, and have a vision of the long-term potential of bio-based technologies.

  15. Roadmap Implementation Planning • Principal Collaborative Focus Areas: • Sustainability Criteria and Standards • Incentives and Markets • Permitting and Regulation • Recommendations for state action to achieve objectives including needed RD&D as well as public education
