 |
|
Following on from the Bioenergy Options Situation Analysis, the Pathways Analysis report looked at some the significant biomass resource to user energy options in detail, with Life Cycle Analysis of some of the possible pathways used to compare the costs, environmental impacts and energy returns. The report also looks at biomass supply versus energy demand. The report concludes with a vision of what a large scale bioenergy scenario might look like for New Zealand.

This report documents the cost, embodied energy, and global warming potential of the production of energy products from forest residues and purpose grown forest. Six energy product pathways were modelled, including the production of heat, co-generated heat and electricity, ethanol and biodiesel. A comparison the cost, embodied energy and global warming potential of pure petrol and diesel with a mixture of 5% biofuel and 95% petrol/diesel is also included in this report.

Twenty-two chosen bioenergy pathways, from resource to the supply of an energy product, were compared on a number of parameters. The parameters considered included economics, energy efficiency, global warming potential (in terms of carbon dioxide emissions equivalent), status of the various technologies involved, risks and benefits.

Biomass resources are widely distributed and affected by a variety of local influences (agriculture, forestry, population, industrial processing). To match these resources with energy demand it is useful to consider demand at a regional level. Download Full report [539Kb]
