The document summarizes a presentation about the European Forest and Agricultural Sector Optimization Model (EUFASOM). EUFASOM is a partial equilibrium model that computes market equilibrium for agriculture and forestry sectors across Europe. It integrates environmental impacts and is used to analyze the effects of policies and structural changes. The presentation describes the model components and structure, provides an example analysis of bioenergy potentials and impacts under different policy scenarios, and discusses some challenges in using comprehensive economic models.

Hinweis der Redaktion
spatially explicit information such as road layouts, existing land uses, population densities and growth rates, distributions of endangered species, archeologically significant areas, etc. to inform planning and policy development related to biomass energy at a regional or national level.
Supply functions: implicit meaning there are no direct supply functions for crops for example but we have inputs of resources, labor, technologies which in the end brings about yields as an output for example. Demand functions: changing prices, ex. decreasing prices
Policies: energy taxes, carbon taxes, tariffs and subsidies, standards Technical change: example – 20% increase in crop productivitiy, agricultural mechanization, etc. Environmental change: introduction of environmental policies, etc. Socioeconomic change: Population, Low income population effects, high-income population; inequalities; land tenure; standard of living
Sealed lands include lands used for roads, railroads, lands where buildings were erected, etc.
It is a small static model which marginally represents the bioenergy module in EUFASOM but does not possess all the advantages and characteristics of EUFASOM which is dynamic. It is also a stand alone model – runs outside EUFASOM.
Inputs: Resource constraints: (Land) - fixed total quantity and/or increasing resource supply functions Outputs: production Q = land use, water use, environment (CO2 emissions) consumption Q = undernourishment indicators trade flows = net exports or net imports
1 km2 = 100 ha. The EU27 has a total land area of 433.2 Mha, of which 196.6 Mha is agricultural and 113.5 Mha arable. Forest area is around 150.85 million has. Data from Institute of Science and Society, 2008. (other data as of 2006 from Europe Statistical Pocketbook). According from EURURALIS, for the EU27 about 4% of total land and about 8% of agricultural land will be used to grow first generation bio-energy crops. As of 2003, availability of biomass resources for EU25 according to a fact finding study done by Broek van den et al (biofuels in the dutch market) shows a potential of around 165 mtoe including electricity, heat and biofuels. From this study, it is around 214 mtoe (500 million tons biomass).
