Editor's Notes
- landless and pastoral production system are also possible, with various mixes of feed inputs. Within each system there are also differences in efficiency possible, due to differences in the efficiency and state of technology applied. The demand for pastureland is compared with the present pasture land use to calculate a shortage or surplus of pasture land. The demand for feed is added up with the demand for food crops and is translated into land use based on yields and suitable areas for crop production based on the level of agricultural technology and management applied. The result of this calculations is a surplus or shortage of cropland. In case of surplus cropland, a bioenergy production potential from bioenergy crops is estimated based the yields for woody bioenergy crops (such as poplar, eucalyptus, willow). The bioenergy production from surplus forest growth is estimated by comparison of the supply and demand for wood. The demand for wood is subdevided into fuelwood and industrial roundwood. The supply of wood comes from natural forest growth and plantations. For both the supply and demand various scenarios are included and a surplus of shortage of wood can be calculated. In addition, the harvesting and processing of food in each region generates harvesting and processing residues which can also be used as a source of bioenergy. Various studies indicate however, that the potentials from specialised bioenergy crops on surplus agricultural land has the largest potential. Therefor the focus in this study is on agricultural land use.
- Many combinations of scenarios for various factors included in this study are possible. This table shows results for 4 scenarios in which the projected demand for food is met globally. Regions with a food deficit are compensated by means of imports from other regions. In all four scenarios a high fce is used (HERDEFINIEREN), a mixed or landless animal production system, a high level of technology for crop production, and rain-fed or irrigated agriculture. The data show that the largest potentials for bioenergy crops can be found in the developing regions, particularly sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. Of the transition regions the CIS & Baltic States has a considerable potential, even in least efficient of the four scenarios. The data also indicate the impact of irrigation, since the global bioenergy production potential increases from 215 to 455 EJ and the impact of a landless industrialised production system instead of a mixed production system (455 tp 1101 EJ).
