2. Status and future perspectives for bioenergy in Denmark
• Agro Business Park
– Innovation, Incubation, Investment
• Innovation Network for Biomass
– Bioenergy, bioeconomy

3. Status and future perspectives for bioenergy in Denmark
• Denmark
– Agriculture 62%, forest 13 % of area, ‘semi-nature’ 12 %
– Intensive livestock production (pigs, milk, chicken, fur)
– Small forests, public and private
– District heating (65% of houses), coal, NG grid and
biomass
– Tradition for straw boilers, waste incineration, woodchips
– Woodpellets (import) and straw replacing coal
– Decentralizing energy production (wind, biomass, sun)

7. Status and future perspectives for bioenergy in Denmark
• By Year 2020
• 35 pct. Renewable energy by 2020
– Biomass energy increase from 132 to 166 PJ
– Bioenergy scenarios for 2050 from 200 to 700
PJ

8. Status and future perspectives for bioenergy in Denmark
• The challenges:
– Balancing the production and consumption
– Transport fuels
• Methane, electricity, hydrogen
– Sustainability, biomass import
– Taxation needs

11. Status and future perspectives for bioenergy in Denmark
• Straw (free of tax)
– 1/3 for bedding
– 1/3 for energy – 17 PJ
– 1/3 un-utilized – potential for 17 PJ
• Incineration
• Biogas after pretreatment (briquetting, pelletizing)
• Bioethanol
• Biomaterials

12. Status and future perspectives for bioenergy in Denmark
• Waste (Free of tax)
– Incineration 22 PJ
– Waste -> resources
– Separation,
• organic fraction for biogas (biopulp)
• upcycling

13. Status and future perspectives for bioenergy in Denmark
• Biogas (subsidized by 0,15 €/ M3 gas)
– Manure based (50% treated by 2020)
– Societal wastes (Industry household)
– Agr. Wastes (straw)
– Energy crops max 12 %
– Use for CHP, gas grid, transport

14. Status and future perspectives for bioenergy in Denmark
• The solutions
– More biomass (plus 10 mio. t)
– Better utilization
• Biorefinery
– Biomass reserved for transport
fuel
– Global regulation
– Focus on energy efficiency
– Focus on innovation
