The UNECE One of five Regional Economic Commissions of the UN 56 Member countries 6 Divisions UNECE/FAO Timber Section – a joint office Work areas: 1. Markets and Statistics 2. Forest resource assessment and indicators of sustainable forest management in the region 3. Sector outlook studies: analysis and follow-up 4. Social and cultural aspects of forestry 5. Policy and cross sectoral issues UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006

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

Is wood important for energy generation? Europe 25 - Total Primary Energy Supply (2003) Coal 39% Crude Oil 18% Gas Nuclear 4% 23% Hydro 1% 1% 14% Geothermal, Solar, etc. How much of Combustibles it is wood ? Renewables and Waste UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006 Source: IEA 2004

Wood – The major bioenergy carrier Wood energy supply in the EU 25 4% Composition of Cumbustibles, Renewables and Waste 2004 Total Primary Energy Supply (EU 25) 55,4 Mtoe 75 % = 43 Mtoe Other (straw, peat, corn, animal manure etc.) Wood UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006 Wood ~ 3 % of the Total Primary Energy Supply in EU 25 (source: Eurobserv’ER 2005 and IEA)

Primary wood energy data collection: � International Energy Agency (IEA) RENEWQ, table 6 � Eurobserv’ER � UNECE/FAO/EU/ITTO Joint Forest Sector Questionnaire JFSQ � FAO/UNECE Forest Resources Assessment � MCPFE Quantitative Indicator 6.9 UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006

Forestry and Timber sector versus Energy sector – two sectors – two worlds ? Mtoe, MWh, Roundwood GJ, Mcal, equivalent, TPES, …. m 3 , tons,… Definitions and language UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006

Forestry and Timber sector versus Energy sector – two sectors – two worlds ? H o w i m p o r t a n t i s Where does wood b i o e n e r g y ? W h i c h r o l e d o for energy come w o o d a n d b i o m a s s p l a y from? – How does f o r e n e r g y ? W h e r e d o e s w o o d e n e r g y g o t o ? this affect forestry? Objectives UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006

Forestry and Timber sector – sector internal differences Within the forestry and timber sector differing information wood energy and corresponding volumes of roundwood equivalent can be found on national level. UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006

Forestry and Timber sector – sector internal differences � 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 Mm 3 (TC 1) vs. 2,005 Mm 3 (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 Mm 3 (JFSQ 2005) vs. 18 Mm 3 (FRA 2005) � 7x higher in the FRA 2005 UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006

Dilemma 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.

The IEA/UNECE/FAO Joint Wood Energy Enquiry � Scope � Development � Who does what � Outputs/deliverables � Structure of the enquiry � Future (communication, harmonization, concentration) UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006

The Joint Wood Energy Enquiry – Scope 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) UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006

The Joint Wood Energy Enquiry – Scope + 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 ? UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006

The Joint Wood Energy Enquiry – Development � 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) UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006

The Joint Wood Energy Enquiry – Who does what 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 UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006

Joint Wood Energy Enquiry – Outputs/deliverables � 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) UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006

The Joint Wood Energy Enquiry – Structure Wood for energy use can have many forms… Direct: Logging residues,thinnings, clearings, short rotation coppice etc. Indirect: Residues, enhanced/densified energy carrier (pellets, charcoal, biofuels), etc. Recovered: Post consumer recycled wood products (often contaminated), construction, demolition, waste etc. UNECE/FAO Timber Section, 09 November 2006
