BIOENERGY ASSOCIATION WEBINAR SERIES

Where could the biomass we need for biofuels come from?

Analysis shows that there is adequate biomass potentially available to meet much of the expected demand for bioenergy and biofuels and supply is increasing as demand increases.

The projections of residual biomass supply are based around three possible levels of biomass recovery. The webinar will discuss the assumptions and assist those making decisions on future solid biofuel availability to understand the evolving biomass recovery technologies and what quantities of biomass could occur in their region.

Bioenergy Association has developed a scenario on how the biomass could be supplied to produce the 150PJ of bioenergy and biofuels which is the sector target by 2050. This scenario is based on Scion’s updated projections for biomass residue availability resources in New Zealand by volume, type, energy content and region over time until 2050.

Like most markets supply increases to meet demand and the biomass supply market is no different.
