IEA Bioenergy eWorkshop – Contribution of sustainable biomass and bioenergy in INDUSTRY TRANSITIONS towards a circular economy
19 Oct, 2020 – 20 Oct, 2020
Location: Online
Workshop organized by IEA Bioenergy, in collaboration with ADEME
AGENDA
Monday 19 October 2020
14.00 – 16.00 CEST
Intro & Part 1: Biomass for medium and high temperature heat in industry
This first session of the workshop will start with introductory presentations of ADEME and IEA on the role of biomass in industry, and will then go into a number of cases and strategies to use biomass for medium to high temperature heat (e.g. steam supply) in industry. The focus in this session is on opportunities to defossilize low- of medium scale industries, such as food industries.
Moderators:
Jim Spaeth, US DoE (United States); Mark Brown, University of Sunshine Coast (Australia)
Speakers:
David Marchal, ADEME (France): The French biomass policy framework
IEA – International Energy Agency: The role of biomass in industry in IEA SDS scenarios (name to be confirmed)
Olle Olsson, SEI – Stockholm Environmental Institute (Sweden): Market opportunities and effective ways to address barriers for high temperature biomass heat in industry
Jaap Koppejan, Pro Biomass (Netherlands): Case studies of biomass providing medium to high temperature heat in industry
Minh-Hiep Nguyen, Nestlé (France): General strategies to include biomass heat in food industries
Richard O Shea / Jerry D Murphy, SFI MaREI Centre for Energy, Climate and Marine (Ireland): Decarbonisation of whiskey production using circular economy bioenergy system
Moderated Q&A
Tuesday 20 October 2020
10:00 – 12:00 CEST
Part 2: Biomass in energy intensive industries – steel & cement sectors
This session will consider opportunities of biomass in larger, energy intensive industries. Examples are energy provision in cement industries, or provision of sustainable carbon sources in steel industries. There are also options to capture CO2 in these industries and convert them into fuel or products.
Moderators:
Daniele Thrän, DBFZ/UFZ (Germany); Paul Bennett, SCION (New Zealand)
Speakers:
Ilkka Hannula, VTT (Finland): Prospects for the use of biomass in the steel industry
Samane Maroufi, University of New South Wales (Australia): Alternative sustainable carbon sources as substitutes for metallurgical coal
Wim Van Der Stricht, Arcelor Mittal (Belgium): Turning carbon emissions from blast furnace gas into bioethanol at ArcelorMittal Gent
Elliot Mari, ADEME (France): The role of biomass in decarbonization of cement industries
Vesa Helanti, VALMET (Finland): Biomass gasification for industrial kilns
Dou Kejun, CNREC – China National Renewable Energy Center (China): Biomass in Chinese industry
Moderated Q&A
Tuesday 20 October 2020
14:00 – 16:00 CEST
Part 3: Biomass in chemical/process industries
In the transition to a circular economy, which needs to be increasingly based on recycling and renewable resources, chemicals and materials produced from biomass will play a key role in chemical and process industries. This session will highlight some cases and strategies to reduce reliance on fossil resources in chemical industries and move to biobased products/chemicals.
Moderators:
Kees Kwant, RVO.nl (Netherlands); Ed de Jong, Avantium (Netherlands)
Speakers:
Stéphane Ledoux, AllEnvi (France): Transitioning to biobased in the chemical industry
Cas König, Chemport Europe (Netherlands): Green Hydrogen Hub of Europe – Northern Netherlands ten years ahead of the Paris Agreement
Michael Duetsch, UPM (Germany): Pulp & paper industries moving to biobased chemicals
Amit Goyal, Southern Research (USA): Renewable Acrylonitrile for Carbon Fiber Production
Nelo Emerencia, Biobased Industries Consortium (Belgium): Moving forward in biobased industries (to be confirmed)
Moderated Q&A
Luc Pelkmans, IEA Bioenergy: Summary and conclusions of the workshop
