• Inviting organisation: NL Agency, The Netherlands

• In cooperation with

– Ministry of Energy (DNER), MZ

– Ministry of Agriculture (CEPAGRI), MZ

• Event organisation: WIP Renewable Energies, Germany

• Workshop documentation:http://www.b2match.eu/biomass-workshop-2013-maputo


Case study: Policy Development in MZ

• May 2009: Publication of National Biofuels Policy and Strategy

• July 2011: Establishment of Inter-ministerial Committee on Biofuels (CIB)

• November 2011: Approval of Biofuel Regulation (production, storage, distribution and sales, biofuel blends (E10, B3))

• Awaiting CIB Approval: National Biofuel Standards

• Finalisation of Adoption: National Biofuel Sustainability Framework (principles, criteria, indicators)

• Since 2008: Programme ‘Promoting sustainable and poverty-reducing investments in biofuel production’ (CEPAGRI, NL Government)


• Between 2008 – 2012, CEPAGRI analysed 117 investment proposals (40 biofuel projects)

• In 2012, only 4 proposals requested 54,000 ha for biofuel production

• Investment approval subject to Biofuel Sustainability Framework

• Initial investors (Jatropha) have withdrawn

• Focus on experienced companies (oil or ethanol sector) with long-term committment

Case study: Biogas from Wastes, ZA

• Large biogas potential in South Africa from wastes and residues

• Since 2007, Bio2Watt Ltd. is developing a biogas project in Bronkhorstspruit, ZA

• Utilisation of 20,000 t of wet waste from cattle and chicken farms (3 MW electricity production)

• Long permit, license, agreement processes (EIA, land lease, waste management and water use license, PPA, grid connection/transmission)

– Long-term commitment and financing required

• Lobby group: Southern African Biogas Industrial Association (SABIA)

Case study: Ethanol Production in Malawi

• First ethanol production plant and E20 introduced in 1982 as response to fuel crisis

• Two plants owned and operated by Malawians

– ETHCO (since 1982), 60,000 l/d

– PressCane (since 2004), 60,000 l/d

• Annual capacity: 36 million litres

• Production volumes: 18 million litres (feedstock shortage)

• B20 demand: 22 million litres

• Government support for expansion and FFV introduction

PRESSCANE


Case study: Ethanol Production in Malawi

ETHCO production plant

• Ethanol production since 1982

• Uses C molasses from (adjacent) Dwangwa Sugar mill

• Products

– fuel alcohol

– industrial alcohol

– beverage (potable) alcohol

• Staff: 100Ref.: L. Chakaniza, ETHCO, Malawi


WS Conclusions: Bioenergy Policy Development• Realistic, stable and long-term policies to provide reliable

business framework conditions for investors

• Policy development in close collaboration with all stakeholders

• Policies based on solid research base

• Focus on solid biomass (e.g. firewood, charcoal) as well as other modern forms of bioenergy in an integrated manner

• Clear Implementation Plans and Action Plans

• Incentives and support schemes, enabling infrastructure

• Combined food and bioenergy production

• Nexus between bioenergy production and poverty eradication


WS Conclusions: Ensuring Sustainability

• Bioenergy sustainability schemes for African countries need to be based on African reality and existing legislation

• Reliable and clear sustainability schemes to create an enabling business environment for investors

• Indicators developed by the Global Bioenergy Partnership (GBEP) can serve to develop successful bioenergy projects

• Address all forms of bioenergy, including solid biomass

• Bioenergy sustainability schemes adapted and simplyfied for application by smallholder farmers


Policy Forum “Opportunities for Sustainable Bioenergy Development:

National Experiences and Global Exchange”

• 28 May 2013, Berlin, Germany• Pre-Meeting to GBEP Events, 29-31 May 2013

• Organised by: – German Federal Ministry for Economic

Cooperation and Development (BMZ)– Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ)

• In cooperation with– Global Bioenergy Partnership (GBEP)

• Forum documentation:http://www.globalbioenergy.org/events1/gbep-events-2013/other-events-2013/en/


Case study: Agroforestry in India

IFAD & ICRAF Programme to improve food security through biofuel development

• Development of suitable agroforestry systems – use of marginal land

• Combinations of crops for sustainable production throughout the year

based on agroclimatic conditions / ecosystems

• Value chain approach: Landscape / System Approach

• Agroforestry challenges:• Selection of appropriate species (ecosystem based)

• Quality planting material

• Short rotation crops

• Remuneration to small farmers

Ref.: N. Sharma, ICRAF


Programme application in Karnataka, India

• Inclusion of multiple & locally adapted species• Pongamia (Pongamia pinnata)

• Madhuka (Madhuka latifolia),

• Neem (Azadirachta indica)

• Simarouba (Simarouba glauca),

• Jatropha (Jatropha curcus)

• Amoora (Amoora rohiyuka) &

• Surahonne (Calophyllum inophyllum L)

• Smart farming systems (e.g. fence planting)

• Area covered: 7,000 ha;

• No of seedlings:1.5 millions

• South-South cooperation with Brazil (EMBRAPA), Sri LankaSource: ICRAF


Case study: Wood Energy Value Chains - Madagascar

German Malagasy Environmental Programme (PGNE/GIZ)

Ref.: P. Lopez, GIZ


Results and Impacts

• 7,050 ha degraded grassland savanna afforested and valorized

– by 2,900 rural households

– exploited legally, sustainable and with improved kiln technic by 620 charcoal producers

– results in 800 ha exploitable plantation/year, for domestic energy needs of 30.000 (urban) persons

– Poverty reduction in rural areas: additional income of EUR 85/year for 3 ha (exploitable forest)

Ref.: P. Lopez, GIZ


Policy Forum – Conclusions 1• No ”one size fits all”, successful projects need scale-up

• Bottom-up approach for policy development (based on existing projects), clear objectives

• Create local capacity in research and development

• Create enabling environment for investments

• Focus on full value chains, market solutions (e.g. clean cookstoves)

• Focus on crops known by farmers and use of residues

• Develop adapted technologies (transfer to smallholders)

• Rural development by improving agricultural productivity and yield efficiency (e.g. agroforestry systems)


Policy Forum – Conclusions 2

• Food security comes first

• Bioenergy solutions need to be tailored to specific framework conditions

• Sutainable bioenergy requires

– Land use management and agricultural zoning (landscape approach)

– Participatory involvement of stakeholders

• GBEP sustainability indicators can serve as guidance
