THE 5B: BIOMASS IN BAVARIA: BIORESOURCES, BIOENERGY AND BUSINESSES

摘要

Potential, macro-economic effects and goals of bio-energy in Bavaria for the year 2020 are presented.These goals are embedded within the Bavarian Climate Strategy 2020. So, the role of bio-energy in Bavaria can bedefined as a living and dynamic part of the EU Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Councilon the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources, dated 23 April 2009. The question is how politics andthe government can set boundary conditions in a way that bio-energy is strongly promoted. For this reason, Bavariatakes care that important issues will be emphasized and made fit for the market. The result of pushing biomass-toenergyin the last two decades is an increase of bio-energy from 1.5% in 1990 to more than 7% in 2007. The goal ofbiomass in 2020 is a contribution up to 8 % to the primary energy consumption of Bavaria. In Bavaria a biomassfriendlypolicy is established and promoted. With our new biomass-concept which was published recently (in November2009), a strong and effective tool of political strategy concerning biomass is given to deciders and peoplewho want to invest in biomass projects.
