The importance of renewable energy resources in the long-term energy strategy of The Netherlands in general and the Energy Valley Region in Particular - Prof. Dr. André P.C. Faaij
The document discusses biogas and the biobased economy. It provides information about the Energy Academy Europe, which is a center of excellence focused on education, research and innovation related to the transition to sustainable energy, including renewables, energy efficiency, gas and carbon reduction. It also discusses scenarios for the future of bioenergy in the Netherlands, including increased domestic production and imports of biomass for bioenergy and biobased chemicals by 2030. Additionally, it examines the economic and environmental viability of technologies for producing synthetic natural gas from biomass via gasification processes.

39. Final
remarks
• Biomass
cri4cal
pillar
of
future
world’s
energy
supply
when
mi4ga4on
of
GHG-‐emissions
is
to
be
addressed.
• Equally
important
for
NL;
heavily
reliant
on
imports
(European
poten4als
considerable).
• Biogas
amongst
the
poten4al
winners,
but
future
biomass
deployment
depends
on
many
factors.
• Bio-‐SNG
has
very
good
perspec4ves,
but
competes
with
advanced
biofuels
and
biomaterials.
