Importance of bioenergy markets for the development of the global energy system
Résumé
Fossil fuels such as oil, coal and gas dominate the global energy supply, covering more than 80% of the total primary energy supply of 508 EJ in 2009. In order to reach climate targets and create low-carbon economies, biomass is expected to play a pivotal role. While the future resource potential of biomass may be significant and the global trade of bioenergy is rapidly expanding, biomass is currently only playing a minor role in the global energy supply. Total biomass primary energy supply was 51 EJ in 2008, of which more than 60% constituted for traditional use such as cooking and heating in developing countries (India and sub-Saharan Africa). The main applications of modern use of biomass are today firstly, in the industrial sector to produce process steam, and secondly, in the power sector.
