Residual biomass in Denmark
• Straw from agriculture is one of the most abundant (and partiallyunused) among residual biomass resources: 90 PJ/year.
• Half of the harvested straw is left on fields, sparking the ongoingdiscussion on its optimal use.

What is the optimal use of straw in the future?
A number of alternative pathways can be considered:
1. Left on the fields
2. Production of biogas - anaerobic digestion
3. Heat and power - CHP plants and boilers
4. Production of 2G bioethanol
5. Production of synthetic natural gas (SNG) - gasification
6. Production of bioalcohols and biodiesel - gasification and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis

1. Straw is left on the agriculture fields with consequent beneficial soilconditioning. Additional effects are change in soil carbon balance and CO2
emissions.

2. Straw is used as feedstock in anaerobic digester for the production ofbiogas. Digestate is a co-product which can be spread on fields as fertilizerand thus affecting the carbon storage.

2. Biogas can be upgraded to natural gas quality (SNG) either through CO2
removal or by methanation with hydrogenation.

4. Straw can undergo hydrolysis and fermentation for the production ofbioalcohols, like bioethanol. Lignin is a co-product, which can be used forCHP production.

Modelling in TIMES-DK
Main assumptions
• Least-cost optimization of the energy system for the period 2015-2050
• Biomass resource potentials correspond to current availability (noimports assumed)
• Fertilizers NPK are valued at current market price
• CO2 target in all scenarios for 100% fossil-free system 2050 (industrial,residential and transport sector)
• Additional target for transport sector - 10% renewable in 2020
Technology scenarios
1. AGR: all straw potential is used only in the agriculture sector
2. BGA: all straw potential is used only for biogas production
3. CHP: all straw potential is used only in the heat and power sector
4. ETOH: all straw potential is used only for bioethanol production
5. BTL: all straw potential is used only in BTL technology
6. OPT: optimal (least-cost) combination where all straw is used

Discussion
• The economic assessment on the optimal use of straw highlights that acombination of technologies (BTL and biogas) is the most cost efficientwhile using straw for heat and power is the least attractive solution.
• However, the choice may have a minor impact on the rest of the energysystem.
• Uncertainty on cost and efficiencies of emerging technologies.
• Potential variability in the availability of straw across and within years(weather, cultivations, crops rotations)
• Wider environmental considerations with respect to the use of biomassmay have an impact on the optimal solution.
