Abstract:

The strongly intended transition of global energy systems to reach net-zero GHG emissions by mid-century means that the role of bioenergy will change. The potential of bioenergy to contribute to the energy system in flexible modes is key for the fulfilment of global emission reduction ambitions and the functioning of the low-carbon energy system and economy. As sustainably available biomass resources are limited in volumes, finding balances - and ideally, synergies - between the different possible energy and climate system services will be highly important. Preliminary valorisation framework, developed by IEA Bioenergy TCP Task 44 Flexible Bioenergy and System Integration, presents considerations on system services, interactions and synergies between the services, and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to assess the value of system services.
