Purpose and goal
There is great potential to increase the use of biomass in electricity generation and thus contribute to Sweden´s vision of 100% renewable electricity system by 2050. In order to exploit the high potential in addition to greater use of existing systems require research and development, in-depth analysis of drivers and barriers, policy frameworks, financial instruments and market developments. A SIO-agenda has been developed, which shill contribute that these developments eventually take place.
Results and expected effects
The biopower SIO-agenda as presented in the final report provides clear clues to decision makers and public authorities for the measures needed to achieve the vision for Biopower in the year 2040 - 10 GW installed capacity providing 40 TWh of energy per year. The media-work during the year 2015 has biopower given a more prominent place in the ongoing energy debate. Bioenergy opportunities to provide reliable electric power and renewable energy during the winter period have been highlighted.
Approach and implementation
The Swedish Bioenergy Association (Svebio) initiated the project and has gathered more than 30 participants from 20 research institutions and companies who have knowledge and interest in developing a vision for biopower and an SIO-agenda that identifies measures needed to achieve the vision. The SIO-agenda has been developed through two seminars and the close cooperation on the final report. Svebios media work during the year 2015 has increased the presence of biopower in the energy debate.
