Future biomass and bioenergy deployment and trade

The paper examines bioenergy trade flows and the necessity of developing sustainable supply chains and governance to meet 2050 global energy and climate scenarios. It emphasizes the need for innovative, integrated value chains and flexible biogenic carbon supply networks to reduce stakeholder risk and ensure economic and environmental benefits.

• Current volumes of biomass production and trade for energy, bio-chemicals, and new materials are significantly lower than the levels required by many global energy and climate change mitigation scenarios for 2050.
• The comprehensive sustainability of large-scale biomass trading and production has not yet been ensured, making the governance of developing biomass markets a critical challenge.
• To support market uptake and reduce risks for stakeholders, the authors recommend the creation of flexible biogenic carbon supply networks utilizing broad feedstock portfolios and multiple pathways for material and energy utilization, alongside integrated value chains for biopower, bioproducts, and biofuels.
