Global production and trade of the major biomass commodities (2008) (*) An estimated 75% of the traded bioethanol is used as transport fuel. [Heinimö & Junginger, Biomass & Bioenergy, 2009]
Phases in bio-energy use and market development… Waste treatment and process residues; use on site, low costs. Local use of (more expensive) forest and agricultural residues; some infrastructure development. Regional biomass markets, larger scale utilisation, increasingly complex logistics; supportive policies needed. National markets with complex set of suppliers and buyers; often increased availability. Increasing scale, cross-border flows; role for cultivated biomass; bilateral activities. Global commodity market; pricing mechanisms; complex interlinkages with existing markets (food, forestry, feedstocks) [Faaij, Energy Policy, 2006]

Good news on criteria frameworks and frontline of debate: Debate has come to it’s senses a bit. Recognition that iLUC for biofuels alone is inconsistent: it is about management of land use. Spillover effect from biofuels (< 1% of land for food) to agriculture & livestock; COOL!!!. More attention for synergies (e.g.: Committee Corbey, Netherlands, 2010, GSB initiative, 2010)

Final remarks • Bioenergy trade has rapidly become more important in total biomass supplies (for pellets in particular). • Plays major role in balancing out fluctuations in demand (policy!) & supply (variable at large). • Markets still immature; ethanol closest to commodity trading. • Rapid growth very likely to continue; in particular (‘advanced’’) pellets (torrefaction); cultivated wood is becoming more important. • More markets for lignocellulosic biomass emerge: 2nd gen biofuels, biochemicals… • Only a future when done sustainably… • …while at the same time RE and GHG mitigation targets cannot be met without large scale bioenergy deployment
