  1. BIOENERGY AND BIOREFINERY RESEARCH IN THE ENERGY THEME OF FP7 Jeroen SchuppersEuropean Commission Directorate-General for Research

  2. Energy end-use(EU-15, 2002) 375 Mtoe(39%) Households and services (39%) Transport (28%) Industry (33%) 269 Mtoe(28%) 313 Mtoe(33%)

  3. Renewable energy sources in the energy supply (EU-15, 2002)

  4. Bioenergy Biomass for electricity generation • Highest greenhouse gas benefits Biomass for heating • Most competitive Biomass for transport fuels • Highest contribution to energy security • Biomass will be promoted in all three sectors

  5. Biofuels in the EU-15 EurObserv’ER 2006

  6. Biofuels: current trend White Paper Current trend millions of tons oil equivalent EurObserv’ER 2006

  7. Current Biofuels Production2003, in million tonnes EU 25 bioethanol biodiesel World Source: Biofuels Barometer June 2004

  8. How much bioenergy can Europe produce without harming the environment?European Environmental Agency report 2006 To reach the European renewable energy target in 2010, an estimated 150 Mtoe of biomass is needed Environmentally-compatible primary biomass potential: 190 Mtoe in 2010 increasing to around 295 Mtoe in 2030 In the short-term, the largest potential for bioenergy comes from the biowaste streams with around 100 Mtoe. Forestry is able to provide around 40 MtOE In the long-term, bioenergy crops from agriculture provide the largest potential.

  9. Bioenergy Strategy for Europe:An impulse to research • Support research into the optimisation of agricultural and woody crops for energy purposes, and biomass to energy conversion processes • Give a high priority to research into the “bio-refinery” concept, finding valuable uses for all parts of the plant • Give a high priority to research into second-generation biofuels, with the aim of improving their efficiency and cost-effectiveness • Encourage the development of an industry-led “Biofuels Technology Platform” and other relevant platforms

  10. Biofuels Technology Platform • Launched on 8 June 2006 in Brussels • Mission: “Contribute to the development of cost-competitive world-class biofuels technologies, to the creation of a healthy biofuels industry and to accelerate the deployment of biofuels in the European Union through a process of guidance, prioritisation and promotion of research, development and demonstration.” • Involvement of many different stakeholders • Clear focus on biomass conversion to transport fuels

  11. Platform Biofuel Technology Platform:stakeholders Forestry Agriculture Industry (sugar, paper) Car & truck manufacturers Biofuel producers Fossil fuel producers & distributors Research institutes Universities Bioenergy associations

  12. Vision Report By 2030, the European Union covers one fourth of its road transport fuel needs by clean and CO2-efficient biofuels. A substantial part is provided by a competitive European industry. This significantly decreases the EU fossil fuel import dependence. Biofuels are produced using sustainable and innovative technologies, creating opportunities for biomass providers, biofuel producers and the automotive industry

  16. Clean hydrogen-rich synthesis gas CHRISGAS • Objectives: to develop a large scale biomass gasification process to produce clean hydrogen-rich gas which can be used for the production of transport fuels. Key research facility: Biomass fuelled pressurized IGCC plant in Värnamo, Sweden • Coordinator: Växjö University, Sweden • Start: 01/09/2004 • Duration: 60 months • EU support: 9.5 M€ http://www.chrisgas.com

  17. Renewable fuels for advanced powertrains RENEW • Objectives: compare and (partially) demonstrate a range of fuel production chains for motor vehicles (FT-biodiesel, DME, synthetic bioethanol) • Coordinator: Volkswagen AG, Group Research, Germany • Starting date: 01/01/2004 • Duration: 48 months • EC support: 10 M€ www.renew-fuels.com

  18. New Improvements for Lignocellulosic Ethanol • NILE • Objective: To develop cost-effective production of clean ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass, enabling its use as transport fuel • Coordinator: Institut Français du Pétrole, IFP, France • Starting date: 1/10/2005 • Duration: 48 months • EU support: 7.7 M€ http://www.nile-bioethanol.org/

  19. Co-processing of upgraded bio-liquids in standard refinery units - BIOCOUP • Objectives: to develop a chain of process steps to allow liquefied biomass to be co-fed in a conventional oil refinery and the co-production of energy and oxygenated chemicals. • Coordinator: VTT, Finland • Start: 01/05/2006 • Duration: 60 months • EU support: 7.6 M€ • 2nd biorefinery IP: negotiation ongoing

  20. FP7 – Energy Theme Adapting the current fossil-fuel based energy system into a more sustainable and secure one. Hydrogen and fuel cells CO2 capture and storage technologies for zero emission power generation Renewable electricity generation Clean coal technologies Renewable fuel production Smart energy networks Renewables for heating and cooling Energy savings and energy efficiency Knowledge for energy policy making

  21. Renewable fuel production Biorefinery • Developing biorefinery schemes to be integrated in existing industrial complexes • Forest based biorefinery • New uses for glycerine in biodiesel plants First generation biofuels • Cost reduction of bioethanol production from sugar and starch crops • Cost reduction of biodiesel production from oil crops, animal tallow and used cooking oils

  22. Renewable fuel production Second generation biofuels • Pre-treatment/Hydrolysis/Fermentation of lignocellulosic biomass for ethanol production • High purity syngas cleaning technologies for biofuels • Biological conversion of syngas into liquid biofuels • Synthetic biofuels via gasification. Production and testing • Hydrogenation of oils and fats

  23. Biorefineries Heat, Electricity, Fuels Chemicals Materials Food, Feed, Fibre Wood, Crops, Grasses Forestry or Agricultural Residues Animal or Municipal Waste Biochemical and/or Thermo-chemical Conversion Biorefinery research will be supported in two FP7 Themes:Food, agriculture and bio-technology and Energy
