The workshop was an expert meeting where different stakeholders from among others industry, academia and linked IEA TCPs were invited. It was organized as a hybrid event in Berlin, Germany, with online participation and was hosted by the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture. A total of 29 experts took part and 9 guest speakers presented their industrial and academic views.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of the workshop was to describe possible value chains combining hydrogen production and deployment of hydrogen and bio-based processes for different bio-based end-products, including technologies at different development stages. This was followed by a discussion on the status of their deployment perspective. Here different concepts were presented and then further explored during a moderated open discussion.

It provides a brief overview of different technological options for capture, transport and storage of CO2, and offers insights into how BECCS business models could be set up. Furthermore the role of public policy in this setting is discussed, and how bioenergy with carbon capture and utilization (BECCU) could play a role in enabling BECCS deployment.<\/p>\n<p>Some conclusions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bioethanol production facilities are a particularly low-hanging fruit because of the high concentrations of CO2 available for capture. Applications in pulp and paper mills also show promise thanks to substantial CO2 concentrations and availability of excess heat that can be used in the capture processes. In addition, there are BECCS pilot and demonstration projects under development in both power stations (using wood pellets) and in waste-to-energy facilities.<\/li>\n<li>In terms of transportation and storage infrastructure of captured CO2, these will most likely be shared among CCS systems irrespective of whether the source of CO2 is fossil or biogenic.<\/li>\n<li>Actual deployment of BECCS will require public policy interventions at several levels. There is a need for financing to de-risk and\/or co-finance industrial investments in large-scale demonstration facilities. In addition, there needs to be a policy mechanism in place that rewards negative emissions.<\/li>\n<li>Technological obstacles to near to medium-term deployment of BECCS systems are likely not prohibitive. However, the policy measures required to incentivize the demonstration, deployment and operation of BECCS value chains are currently largely absent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Click here to view webinar: <a href=\"https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/rec\/play\/tMIlcLyh-D03TtST4gSDVPB8W43of_isgHBM_PcFzk-8AiFRMQCkMucWZ-HbrGeV2B5ss77oWOFK7lWp?startTime=1592315874000&amp;_x_zm_rtaid=ZOINO84lThypbVHv4_PfdA.1592471710573.6e7f6ba04b9706e60dee3cc79de23844&amp;_x_zm_rhtaid=406\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/rec\/play\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ieabioenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/BECCUS-Webinar-Slide-OO20200616-final.pdf\" class=\"mtli_attachment mtli_pdf\">Download presentation<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/task40.ieabioenergy.com\/task-40-meetings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IEA Task 40 meeting<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>28\/29 November 2019, Leipzig, Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The second physical meeting of the task members was held in Leipzig at the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dbfz.de\/en\/?loopPrevention=1&amp;cHash=0e316084a8cd4784cbd37752c155d0d3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DBFZ<\/a><\/span>.

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<p><strong>Click<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/cif-ifc.adobeconnect.com\/p5fu13lgeel6\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a> <strong>to view webinar including discussion and questions (please note that you will be redirected to the website IEA Bioenergy).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Download presentation <a class=\"mtli_attachment mtli_pdf mtli_attachment mtli_pdf\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ieabioenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/FINAL_Intertask-fuel-pretreatment.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FINAL_Intertask fuel pretreatment<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><em>Perception and Positions of Stakeholders\u00a0Towards Bioenergy<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>5 February 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Perceptions and positions of stakeholders towards bioenergy vary widely, depending amongst others on the<br \/>\ntype of feedstock used, conversion technology and end-use, regional settings etc. In this webinar, we first<br \/>\npresent the viewpoints and positions of international stakeholders based on insights from over 200<br \/>\nquestionnaire responses (on topics such as awareness, barriers, challenges, drivers and conditions to gain<br \/>\nsupport for the bioenergy sector), two roundtables and 11 dedicated interviews with international stakeholders<br \/>\nin the biobased economy such as DSM, RSB, Bioenergy Europe and Greenpeace.

The US indicates the highest global production of 6.8 Mt in 2014 which is mainly for export whilst Germany is the country with highest production in Europe, 2.2 Mt but one third of its production is for domestic consumption. In general, Europe still demonstrates the highest production region and there are quality standards ENplus for wood pellet. In addition, Thr\u00e4n introduced another Task 40 study on <strong>T<\/strong><strong>he European wood pellet market for small-scale heating, <\/strong>the results showed that Italy is the main importing country whilst\u00a0 Austria has the largest uni-directional trade and Germany indicates the strongest bi-directional trade of the small-scale heating sector.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Michael Wild continued the section on <strong>The <\/strong><strong>future role of processed pellets and torrefaction technologies. <\/strong>Torrefaction shows a number of advantages such as high volumetric energy densification, limited or no biodegradation of product when stored, significant cost savings in logistics \u00a0and large variety of applications in power, process heat and heating . He underlined that a large number of torrefaction developers around the world are active producing almost identical product following ISO 17225-8TS and some torrefied products are already available to be used not only in coal power plants but in various sectors such as iron and steel, chemical and pulp and paper. Market of torrefied products has just begun its growing path and volumes will continue to increase.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Issues of sustainability requirements for wood pellets as well as standards for torrefied products have received interests from workshop attendees. The presenters answered that there are defined sustainability criteria for wood pellets in the EU and standards such as water residence of torrefied pellets are being developed and tested. Task 40 leader commented that as volume of torrefied pellets are still small, it should be measured and controlled to avoid risks in logistics. Another Task 40 member mentioned that Asia market is promising, especially Japan for torrefied products. The presentation will be shared with USIPA attendees and Task 40 subscribers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>II.\u00a0International Wood Biorefining Week, Stockholm, Sweden, 24-26 May 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">The International Wood Biorefining Week (IWB) is the leading international event for the woodbased biorefining industries. Several parallel conference tracks focus on bioenergy and biobased products and innovations. The conference hosted a large number of interesting speakers speaking on four parallel conference tracks. Among the speakers were specialists from the forest industry as well as other manufacturing industries with an interest in biobased products. During the first day there was a common opening ceremony followed by a session focusing on the biomass markets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Task 40 members presented in the session Sustainable and Intelligent Bioeconomy. Lena Bruce (Sveaskog, Sweden) gave a presentation on The Forest Resource for the Bioeconomy whilst Patrick Lamers (Idaho National Laboratory, US) discussed about Developing the Global Bioeconomy \u2013 Technical, Market and Environmental lessons from Bioenergy. Olle Olsson (Stockholm Environment Institute, Sweden), presented his study with Task 40 colleagues on Cascading of Wood Biomass \u2013 Principles, Policies and Effects on Market and Trade.<\/p>\n<p><strong>III. Workshop: <em>Technical Requirements for Torrefied Biomass, Rotterdam 25-26 January 2016<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\" align=\"justify\">These workshops, co-organised by IBTC and Task 40 with the support of AEBIOM, are a unique opportunity for participants to develop a better understanding of fuel requirements and fuel possibilities in terms of sourcing, processing and consumption of biomass &#8211; to allow adjustments on both ends, resulting in an increase of biomass traded for energy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">The workshops will be organised as \u201cOpen Space\u201d events, a highly effective method to facilitate self-organised group discussions. It strongly encourages interaction and it is an ideal way to set the scene for a complex topic. A lively discussion shall trigger a better understanding of the market needs and help the product to fulfill them. It will also support the establishment of a network of cooperation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><b>Who should attend? <\/b>Torrefied biomass fuel producers, boiler manufacturers, gasification companies, heating and cooling equipment suppliers, logistics companies, biomass traders and many more. The workshop on the 25th targets professionals interested in small to medium applications while the workshop on the 26th concerns industrial applications such as co-firing in pulverised coal boilers.
