Overview of the Global Potential of Biomass for Energy World Primary Energy consumption (2006): 400 EJ/a
Role of Biofuels in the Energy Economy System Long term goal High efficient sustainable energy system based on 100% renewable energy Increasing of Energy Security e.g. domestic renewable energy Reduction of local pollutants e.g. PM10, NOx Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions, e.g. Kyoto-Target: minus 13% (2008-2012 ref. 1990) (further) Increase of using Renewable Energy e.g. biofuels, solar energy Increasing of Energy Efficiency in energy conversion, e.g. hybrid vehicles “Energy Saving” – Reduction of useful energy consumption with same energy service, e.g. insulation of buildings
