  1. GBEP Side Event at the COP 15 Copenhagen16 December 2009 GHG Emissions from Bioenergy: a New Tool for Reporting and Comparing Lifecycle Analyses Testing Results of the GBEP methodological framework Horst Fehrenbach IFEU Germany

  2. Introductory Remark When GBEP GHG Task Force started in Oct. 2007 in Germany a GHG methodology for biomass had been just under development for legal purpose. In 2008 the European Commission enhanced the methodology dispute. Output:  basic calculation rules have been constituted within the Renewable Energy Sources Directive by late 08.  Adopted by the German legislation in 2009.

  3. Introductory Remark • What I want to tell you: • We applied the GBEP framework to the German method - which is based on the EU rules. • We compared some exemplary calculation using different methods and applied the logic of theGBEP framework for analyzing the differences.

  4. The “German method” As determined within the: Ordinance on requirements pertaining to sustainable production of bioliquids for electricity production (Biomass-electricity-sustainability ordinance) Download: http://www.erneuerbare-energien.de/files/english/pdf/application/pdf/nachv_verordnung_en_bf.pdf an analogous one is prepared for biofuel for transport

  5. Testing the “German method” Step 1: GHGs Covered Remark: meanwhile IPCC 2007 factors should be applied

  6. Testing the “German method” Step 2: Source of biomass

  7. Testing the “German method” Step 3: Land use change

  8. Testing the “German method” Step 4: Biomass feedstock production

  9. Testing the “German method” Step 7: By-products and co-products

  10. Testing the “German method” Step 10: Comparison with replaced fuel

  11. Comparing exemplary calculations We compared some exemplary calculation using different methods and used the GBEP frameworkfor analyzing the differences. Exemplary case: sugar cane ethanol (Brazil) Models: RTFO (U.K. Calculator by DfT) EU Default values IFEU model CA-GREET (California for LCFS)

  12. Comparing exemplary calculations Compilation by A. Fuentes Gutiérrez and C. Garcia Bustamante

  13. Conclusion • The GBEP methodological framework is an • outstanding tool to get a detailed portrait and profound characterization of any GHG method for bioenergy. • Completed templates may appear to provide an overflow of information. However such piles of information are extremely wanted when GHG balances are considered increasingly in decisionmaking.
