Wood energy, why is everybody talking ?

International framework:

• Climate protection

(Kyoto protocol, Johannesburg implementation plan )

• Energy supply security
• Sustainable energy supply (International conference on renewable

energies - Bonn) Europe:

• EC Strategy and action plan on renewable energy sources
• EU Directive on Electricity from Renewable Energy Sources
• EU Biomass action plan
• EU Forest action plan (bioenergy key action 4)
• European directive on wood waste
• Ministerial conference on Environment in Europe
• Ministerial Conference for the protection of the forests in Europe

MCPFE + National actions and support for renewable energy supply

UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006 Europe 25 - Total Primary Energy Supply (2003) 18% 39% 4% 1% 14% 1% 23% Coal Crude Oil Gas Nuclear Hydro Geothermal, Solar, etc. Combustibles Renewables and Waste

Is wood important for energy generation? How much of it is wood ?

Wood – The major bioenergy carrier

Wood ~ 3 % of the Total Primary Energy Supply in EU 25 (source: Eurobserv’ER 2005 and IEA)

Where does wood for energy come from? – How does this affect forestry?

Forestry and Timber sector versus Energy sector – two sectors – two worlds ? Objectives

UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006

Within the forestry and timber sector differing information wood energy and corresponding volumes of roundwood equivalent can be found on national level. Forestry and Timber sector – sector internal differences

UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006 Database internal differences – same correspondent: TC1 2006 (forecast to the Timber Committee) v.s. JFSQ e.g. Country X (Non coniferous wood fuel) 0,714 Mm3 (TC 1) vs. 2,005 Mm3 (JQ 1) 3x higher figure for Non-coniferous Wood fuel Different databases - different correspondents: UNECE/FAO JFSQ 2005 versus FAO Forest resources assessment 2005. e.g. Country Y (total wood fuel removals) 2.5 Mm3 (JFSQ 2005) vs. 18 Mm3 (FRA 2005) 7x higher in the FRA 2005

Forestry and Timber sector – sector internal differences

UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006

Official statistics cover traded goods and consumption. Fuel wood for private use is often traded in informal markets or used through auto consumption. Wood for energy is a value traded good – poor definition in the harmonized trade HS/SITC. National data on wood energy often tend to make a

=> Underestimation of wood energy

and its role for national energy supply as well as its role for the forestry and timber sector.

Scope Development Who does what Outputs/deliverables Structure of the enquiry Future (communication, harmonization, concentration)

The IEA/UNECE/FAO Joint Wood Energy Enquiry

UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006 Provide an overall picture: Roundwood equivalent used for energy production Wood energy in energy units and share of national/regional energy/bioenergy production. Sources for wood energy production (direct/indirect/post consumer) Consumers of wood energy (Trends)

The Joint Wood Energy Enquiry – Scope

UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006

+ Provide complementary information to studies on potential wood volumes for energy use + Avoid double work: cooperate and decrease the amount of circulating enquiries for different sectors. Merge existing questionnaires ?

The Joint Wood Energy Enquiry – Scope

UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006 Structural decision: Hamburg Expert meeting (Oct. 2005)

• Collecting detailed information on national level

based on the Wood Balance Scheme (Mantau/Leek)

• Using UBET scheme as Output Matrix

Test run – 11 sample countries (end 2005) Link to the energy sector at the IEA IntEnerStat Meeting (Nov. 2005) Structural improvements (Jan. 2006) Decision on region wide application (May 2006) Joint Task Force on wood energy – Joint network (June 2006) (IEA, EC DG Enterprise, FAO and UNECE) Deadline for data replies (Oct. 2006)

The Joint Wood Energy Enquiry – Development

UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006

UNECE/FAO: Adapt the enquiry / layout Provide network of national correspondents for the JQ1/2 Communication (sent out, deadline, follow up etc.) Data verification Publication IEA: Network of national energy correspondents Provide an energy framework Overall energy data Country: Information exchange and estimates Consult available sources / experts Provide information and feedback

The Joint Wood Energy Enquiry – Who does what

UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006 Consultation with Nordic countries’ correspondents (Sept. 2006) Deadline for replies (Oct. 2006) Encourage countries with missing data to hand in their data with estimates (Oct./Nov. 2006) Contact with COST E31 (Nov. 2006) Analyse and verify national replies (Nov./Dec. 2006 ) Publication of raw data – share with IEA (05/06 December 2006) Produce comprehensive document for policy makers (early 2007) Report to and guidance from Joint UNECE/FAO Working Party (March 2007)

Joint Wood Energy Enquiry – Outputs/deliverables

UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006

Direct:

Logging residues,thinnings, clearings, short rotation coppice etc.

Indirect:

Recovered:

Post consumer recycled wood products (often contaminated), construction, demolition, waste etc.

Wood for energy use can have many forms…

Collecting disaggregate detailed data keeps national information precise when possible. Provide good energy

• verview.

Aggregates/estimates accepted and desired in case of missing details (collected under “Total”). Correspondents are encouraged to reach out to specialists and other involved sectors (energy, waste, statistics). Output scheme: Comprehensive aggregate data deriving from the UBET scheme (User =>Consumer).

Output scheme: The Joint Wood Energy Enquiry – Structure

UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006 17 replies: Austria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Lithuania, Netherlands, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, USA and Canada + 5 statements of unavailable data. 5 pending replies: Italy, Estonia, United Kingdom, Germany and Norway. The quality of the received data is good for the direct and partly for the indirect wood supply. Problems could be found for the energy generation and the recovered wood …

The replies

UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006

Recovered wood is a weak point in many responses. Excellent possibility for cooperation =>no danger of double counting

The replies

UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006 Actual work: Verification of the supplied data with other available data bases. Clarify remaining questions with the correspondents Complete missing data based on studies/projects etc. Data presentation: Feed national data into the Output Matrix and line out the importance of wood energy for wood and energy sector in each country (few desktop studies) Sub-regional sum-up (Europe and North America)

The replies

UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006

If data collection successful, baseline for future data collection (continuity and comparability over time) Encourage improved data collection at the national level (use Joint Wood Energy Enquiry as archetype ?) Improve communication between different sectors (waste management, COST e31, Bioenergy (IEA) etc.) Harmonization of definitions and conversion factors ?

The Joint Wood Energy Enquiry – Future

UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006

By participating in the COST E31 meeting we hope to: Learn about projects, processes, progress and problems in closely related fields like recovered/post-consumer wood. Encourage cooperation and networking. Explore adoption or harmonization of structures and/or figures to facilitate data compatibility. Use national figures from COST E31 in the JWEE ?
