IEA Bioenergy Task 40 Webinar \u2013 Future Prospects for Wood Pellet Markets (Poster)\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n 13 November 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This webinar presents the findings of the report \u201cMargin potential for a long-term sustainable wood pellet supply chain\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n Wood pellets are well-established in residential heat and large-scale industrial (power) markets, and existing supply can deliver wood pellets at reasonable prices. Yet, given the competition with other renewables (solar, wind), and building efficiency in the longer-term, wood pellet markets are under price pressure, and actually could shrink in the near future, \u00a0specially for co-firing in powerplants.<\/p>\n The report showed that:<\/p>\n In case studies, future options for pellets were explored (high-temperature industrial heat, steelmaking, BECCS\/U), and it was shown that potential exists there, allowing to help achieving the Paris Agreements and the SDGs, especially if adequate CO2 \u00a0prices are introduced in energy markets.<\/p>\n Click here to view webinar \u2013 http:\/\/cif-ifc.adobeconnect.com\/pnajaxe5cjiy\/<\/a><\/p>\n Download presentation<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n IEA Bioenergy Webinar <\/strong><\/em>\u2013 Biomass Pretreatment Options to Diversify the Resource Base<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n 25 April 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n An increased demand for biomass means that greater mobilisation of biomass resources will be required to meet market needs. The availability of biomass has been addressed in many studies and may be limited by various environmental, economic, logistical, technical or policy factors. The breadth of suitable biomass feedstocks can be expanded by pretreating otherwise marginal-quality materials to improve their energy content, chemical composition or physical properties. This webinar presents the results of an IEA Bioenergy intertask project that focused on opportunities for biomass pretreatment. It shows how currently available pretreatment technologies and technologies under development can help the supply chains for available solid biomass resources for thermochemical conversion. Five carefully selected case studies describe key options for pretreatment of solid biomass resources for energy generation, including their costs, effectiveness and commercial status.<\/p>\n Click<\/strong> here<\/a> to view webinar including discussion and questions (please note that you will be redirected to the website IEA Bioenergy).<\/strong><\/p>\n Download presentation FINAL_Intertask fuel pretreatment<\/a><\/p>\n Perception and Positions of Stakeholders\u00a0Towards Bioenergy<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n 5 February 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Perceptions and positions of stakeholders towards bioenergy vary widely, depending amongst others on the Click<\/strong> here<\/a> to view webinar including discussion and questions (please note that you will be redirected to the website IEA Bioenergy).<\/strong><\/p>\n Download presentation \u2013\u00a0IEA Bioenergy Webinar.

\ntype of feedstock used, conversion technology and end-use, regional settings etc. In this webinar, we first
\npresent the viewpoints and positions of international stakeholders based on insights from over 200
\nquestionnaire responses (on topics such as awareness, barriers, challenges, drivers and conditions to gain
\nsupport for the bioenergy sector), two roundtables and 11 dedicated interviews with international stakeholders
\nin the biobased economy such as DSM, RSB, Bioenergy Europe and Greenpeace. We then briefly present the
\nresults from several regional case studies, and provide recommendations on how to engage more successfully
\nwith a broad range of stakeholders so that policies and sustainability governance are perceived as legitimate
\nand help build-up social capital, trust, and support among all stakeholders. Lastly, we outline how this work will be continued in IEA Bioenergy in the coming years.<\/p>\n
