Danish representation in IEA Bioenergy Programme TASK 38 'Greenhouse gas balances of biomass and bioenergy systems' 2004-2006
1) Analyse the country-level, regional and global potential of bioenergy, forestation, and other biomass-based mitigation strategies, including implications for the atmospheric CO2 concentration and radiative forcing. 2) Assess the life-cycle green house gas balance of such systems, including leakage, additionality, and uncertainties.
These analyses must integrate forest and agricultural industries, energy components, and carbon sequestration considerations. They will include comparisons with fossil, nuclear and renewable energy sources, as well as materials such as steel and concrete (for the comparison with conventional wood products). 3) Provide policy-relevant information on the task topic that can aid decisionsmakers in selecting appropriate mitigation strategies that optimise green house gas benefits, e.g. how to maximise bioenergy production while maintaining carbon stocks at high levels, or how to allocate biomass to energy vs. uses as raw material. 4) Contribute to the work of IPCC/OECD/IEA related to the role of biomass and bioenergy for GHG mitigation. 5) To synthesise and transfer to stakeholders important international knowledge and new technical information concerning conventional forestry systems for sustainable production of bioenergy
