  1. Forest and energy, industries view Introduction European Forest Week, Rome October 22 Mikael Eliasson/Chairman Cei-Bois

  2. Our challenges Competitiveness & market FBI Energy, availability and price Raw material, availability, price Environmental performance

  3. Our industry, in Europe • Represents close to 10 % of total value creation in Europe • Brings sustainable products to consumer and society • Employ some 3 Million people • More than 200 000 companies of which many are SME:s • Is vital for rural regions and their economy • Comprises world-leading companies among forest-products producers, suppliers and consultancies. • Enjoys global technological leadership and occupies leading reserch position at international level • Is the leading player in bio energy and rapidly growing • Provide an efficient “infrastructure” for an increased bio- energy market

  4. Vision 2030 “The European forestbased sector plays a key role in a sustainable society. It compries a competetative, knowledgebased industry that fosters the extended use of renewable forest resources. It strives to ensure its societal contribution In the context of a bio-based, consumerdriven and globally competitive European economy “

  5. The total energy consumption in EU

  6. Forest based Industry, a complex structure working well together The raw material is well used in the complex, but well functioned “clusters” of different industries. A market based allocation guaranties best possible value- and job creation. The emerging energy sector is alreday an important part of the FBI Important • An open market • Clear and fairpolicies • Incentives for users to pick the environmentallybest option

  7. Impacts on FBI of an increased use of biomass for energy production • Europe's forests and biomass capacity can not alone meet or replace the present usage of non renewable energy sources • “Desperate shortcut flows” of industrial usable raw material to energy production could jeopardise long term value creation and job opportunities - - By decreasing the efficiency of an well working infra-structure of an diversified industry sector • A logic and constructive approach where the industry has the lead will efficiently increase the output of energy-production and as well as energy products.

  8. Conclusions • The forest based industry is a vital part of a true sustainable development • It is important to have a holistic view on the sector when evaluate the “sustainability” performance. • The forest industry is by far the biggest producer and user of biomass based energy and a natural integrator and driver of an increased use of bio-energy • The different value chains are in many cases integrated and to an large extent recyclable • We advocate an balanced use of our forests aiming to optimize the economic, social and environmental aspects
