  1. Opportunities of Sustainable Bioenergy – Lessons learnt from two recent Workshops Rainer Janssen , DominikRutz, CosetteKhawaja WIP – Renewable Energies Ensuring Access toSustainableBioenergyGloballyGBEP/PANGEA Workshop, EUSEW 2013 European Parliament Brussels, 24 June 2013

  2. Workshop on Sustainable Biomass Production in Southeast Africa • 19-21 March 2013, Maputo, Mozambique • Inviting organisation: NL Agency, The Netherlands • In cooperation with • Ministry of Energy (DNER), MZ • Ministry of Agriculture (CEPAGRI), MZ • Event organisation: WIP Renewable Energies, Germany • Workshop documentation:http://www.b2match.eu/biomass-workshop-2013-maputo

  3. Case study: Policy Development in MZ • May 2009: Publication of National Biofuels Policy and Strategy • July 2011: Establishment of Inter-ministerial Committee on Biofuels (CIB) • November 2011: Approval of Biofuel Regulation (production, storage, distribution and sales, biofuel blends (E10, B3)) • Awaiting CIB Approval: National Biofuel Standards • Finalisation of Adoption: National Biofuel Sustainability Framework (principles, criteria, indicators) • Since 2008: Programme ‘Promoting sustainable and poverty-reducing investments in biofuel production’ (CEPAGRI, NL Government)

  4. Between 2008 – 2012, CEPAGRI analysed 117 investment proposals (40 biofuel projects) • In 2012, only 4 proposals requested 54,000 ha for biofuel production • Investment approval subject to Biofuel Sustainability Framework • Initial investors (Jatropha) have withdrawn • Focus on experienced companies(oil or ethanol sector) with long-term committment Ref.: H. Neves, CEPAGRI

  5. Soap production and Multi-funtional Platform, Cabo Delgado Social activities, food security Ref.: H. Neves, CEPAGRI

  6. Case study: Biogas from Wastes, ZA • Large biogas potential in South Africa from wastes and residues • Since 2007, Bio2Watt Ltd. is developing a biogas project in Bronkhorstspruit, ZA • Utilisation of 20,000 t of wet waste from cattle and chicken farms (3 MW electricity production) • Long permit, license, agreement processes (EIA, land lease, waste management and water use license, PPA, grid connection/transmission) • Long-term commitment and financing required • Lobby group: Southern African Biogas Industrial Association (SABIA)

  7. Case study: Biogas Development in ZA Ref.: R. Melamu, University of Cape Town

  8. Case study: Ethanol Production in Malawi • First ethanol production plant and E20 introduced in 1982 as response to fuel crisis • Two plants owned and operated by Malawians • ETHCO (since 1982), 60,000 l/d • PressCane (since 2004), 60,000 l/d • Annual capacity: 36 million litres • Production volumes: 18 million litres (feedstock shortage) • B20 demand: 22 million litres • Government support for expansion and FFV introduction ETHCO PRESSCANE

  9. Case study: Ethanol Production in Malawi ETHCO production plant • Ethanol production since 1982 • Uses C molasses from (adjacent) DwangwaSugar mill • Products • fuel alcohol • industrial alcohol • beverage (potable) alcohol • Staff: 100 Ref.: L. Chakaniza, ETHCO, Malawi

  10. WS Conclusions: Bioenergy Policy Development • Realistic, stable and long-term policiesto provide reliable business framework conditions for investors • Policy development in close collaboration with all stakeholders • Policies based on solid research base • Focus on solid biomass (e.g. firewood, charcoal) as well as other modern forms of bioenergy in an integrated manner • Clear Implementation Plans and Action Plans • Incentivesand support schemes, enabling infrastructure • Combined food and bioenergy production • Nexus between bioenergy production and poverty eradication

  11. WS Conclusions: Ensuring Sustainability • Bioenergy sustainability schemes for African countries need to be based on African reality and existing legislation • Reliable and clear sustainability schemes to create an enabling business environment for investors • Indicators developed by the Global Bioenergy Partnership (GBEP) can serve to develop successful bioenergy projects • Address all forms of bioenergy, including solid biomass • Bioenergy sustainability schemes adapted and simplyfied for application by smallholder farmers

  12. Policy Forum “Opportunities for Sustainable Bioenergy Development: National Experiences and Global Exchange” • 28 May 2013, Berlin, Germany • Pre-Meeting to GBEP Events, 29-31 May 2013 • Organised by: • German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) • Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) • In cooperation with • Global Bioenergy Partnership (GBEP) • Forum documentation:http://www.globalbioenergy.org/events1/gbep-events-2013/other-events-2013/en/

  13. Case study: Agroforestry in India IFAD & ICRAF Programme to improve food security through biofuel development • Development of suitable agroforestry systems – use of marginal land • Combinations of crops for sustainable production throughout the year  based on agroclimatic conditions / ecosystems • Value chain approach: Landscape / System Approach • Agroforestry challenges: • Selection of appropriate species (ecosystem based) • Quality planting material • Short rotation crops • Remuneration to small farmers Ref.: N. Sharma, ICRAF

  14. Programme application in Karnataka, India • Inclusion of multiple & locally adapted species • Pongamia(Pongamiapinnata) • Madhuka (Madhukalatifolia), • Neem(Azadirachtaindica) • Simarouba(Simaroubaglauca), • Jatropha(Jatrophacurcus) • Amoora(Amoorarohiyuka) & • Surahonne(Calophylluminophyllum L) • Smart farming systems (e.g. fence planting) • Area covered: 7,000 ha; • No of seedlings:1.5 millions • South-South cooperation with Brazil (EMBRAPA), Sri Lanka Source: ICRAF

  15. Case study: Wood Energy Value Chains - Madagascar German Malagasy Environmental Programme (PGNE/GIZ) Ref.: P. Lopez, GIZ

  16. Results and Impacts • 7,050 ha degraded grassland savanna afforested and valorized • by 2,900 rural households • exploited legally, sustainable and with improved kiln technic by 620 charcoal producers • results in 800 ha exploitable plantation/year, for domestic energy needs of 30.000 (urban) persons • Poverty reduction in rural areas: additional income of EUR 85/year for 3 ha (exploitable forest) Ref.: P. Lopez, GIZ

  17. Policy Forum – Conclusions 1 • No ”one size fits all”, successful projects need scale-up • Bottom-up approach for policy development (based on existing projects), clear objectives • Create local capacity in research and development • Create enabling environment for investments • Focus on full value chains, market solutions (e.g. clean cookstoves) • Focus on crops known by farmers and use of residues • Develop adapted technologies (transfer to smallholders) • Rural development by improving agricultural productivity and yield efficiency (e.g. agroforestry systems)

  18. Policy Forum – Conclusions 2 • Food security comes first • Bioenergy solutions need to be tailored to specific framework conditions • Sutainable bioenergy requires • Land use management and agricultural zoning (landscape approach) • Participatory involvement of stakeholders • GBEP sustainability indicators can serve as guidance
