Future biomass and bioenergy deployment and trade

This research paper examines historical and current trade flows of bioenergy products and explores how their deployment can be integrated into the broader bioeconomy to meet 2050 climate mitigation goals, while emphasizing the need for sustainable governance and innovative value chains.

• Current volumes of biomass production and trade for bio-chemicals, new materials, and energy are significantly lower than the levels proposed in various global climate change mitigation and energy scenarios for the year 2050.
• The large-scale production and trading of biomass currently lack secured comprehensive sustainability, making the governance of developing biomass markets a critical challenge that requires fundamental decisions on supply chain development.
• To support market entry and reduce stakeholder risk, the authors suggest implementing flexible biogenic carbon supply nets utilizing multiple utilization pathways and broad feedstock portfolios, alongside integrated value chains for biopower, bioproducts, and biofuels.
