Back to the
basics Non-food applications of BI - mass include: Energy: fuels, electricity, heat Fibres: paper, board, additives… Materials: textiles, plastic, insulation, construction… Chemicals: solvents, polymers, dyes, cosmetics, medicines To ensure the best possible benefits from biomass use, next to all bioE options, other biomass options should be evaluated as well and this in the light of decoupling economic growth from resource use. 9 26/03/2010 © 2010, VITO NV

Lost in… DEFINITIONS »
Sustainability = Adopting practices and developing products that are environmentally, socially and economically sound, and that can meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs – Brundtland Commission » Renewable energy = any form of energy that is naturally replenished - Wikipedia » A sustainable resource = a resource that is used up at the same speed that it is renewed. Biomass can be a sustainable resource if the plants are harvested at the same rate as new plants mature – WikiAnswers » Sustainable biomass use = ??? - International Panel for Sustainable Resource Management Biomass functions as a sort of natural battery for storing solar energy. As long as biomass is produced sustainably - with only as much used as is grown - the battery will last indefinitely – Union of concerned scientists 26/03/2010 11 © 2010, VITO NV

biomass use = within the ecological carrying capacity of earth = no disturbance in networks and cycles of life = decoupling of economic growth to resource use? BI - mass Provisioning goods & services versus Credit: iStockphoto Supporting, regulating and cultural services & goods 26/03/2010 12 © 2010, VITO NV

Lost in… COMPLEXITY Complex
problems facing society » Complexity of LCA pathways » Indirect effects / problem shifting / thresholds / tipping points… » Marketable versus non-marketable biomass goods and services Complex society » Developed – Developing – Emerging economies » Multitude of sectors, traditions, stakeholders… » Multitude of views, values & stakes Complex governance » Multitude of policy areas, rules & legislations » Multitude of political agenda’s » Lock-in of practices, technologies & management regimes PERSISTENT PROBLEMS 26/03/2010 13 © 2010, VITO NV
14.
DIFFERENT STAKES
Divergent policy perspectives on biomass » Climate perspective: reduce GHG emissions » Agriculture & forestry perspective: create additional income » Energy perspective: reduce fossil energy & improve security of supply » Environmental perspective: reduce GHG emissions & replace non- degradable with biodegradable materials » Economy perspective: create biomass business » Industrial perspective: commercialize biomass technologies » Trade perspective: increase multilateral trade opportunities » Development aid perspective: reduce poverty » … » Nature’s perspective: operate within the ecological carrying capacity of the earth 26/03/2010 14 © 2010, VITO NV
15.
Nature’s perspective vs
theoretical/physical biomass potential? » The theoretical biomass potential excludes the role biomass plays in maintaining ecosystem integrity » If ecosystems degrade, the biomass potential will be affected » Decrease in pest & disease control » Decrease in pollination efficiency » Decrease in nutrient & water efficiency = decrease in growth & yield » Reinforcing climate change impacts » Decline in resilience to deal with average climate change » Decline in resilience to deal with increase in climate extremes »… 26/03/2010 15 © 2010, VITO NV
16.
Economic versus ecological
sense » A favoured approach of dealing with economic recession or stagnating economies in the past has been to increase public and consumer spending. » “While increasing our consumption of the earth‟s resources may have been the solution to recession in the past, it is not the solution of the future. The more we erode the earth‟s carring capacity, the more the ability of leaders to provide answers to economic and social crises diminishes.” – Ross 2009 » “We need to „shift our emphasis from „managing resources‟ to managing ourselves so that we learn to live as part of nature.” - Wackneragel & Rees 1996; Benyus 1997; … Beyond GDP 26/03/2010 16 © 2010, VITO NV

Economic versus ecological
sense » Optimize rather than maximize: » Multifunctional » Closed lean cycles » Cascade : Ecopyramid » Synergetic strategies » Integrated systems: integrate ecosystem services in man- made landscape “Due to the large amounts of lignocellulosic feedstock required for a bio-based economy, it seems currently not possible to integrate biomass production into existing food production via so-called integrated energy and food systems.” (IEA 2010) Economic versus ecological sense 26/03/2010 19 © 2010, VITO NV

Yield limitations » Yield
increase is often mentioned as a silver bullet solution to biomass production capacity - land scarcity - phosphorus scarcity - water scarcity - mean CC impact leads to average yield decrease - yield decrease because of increase in climate extremes - eutrification, acidification, pollution side-effects - GHG emissions -… 26/03/2010 22 © 2010, VITO NV
