4. 4 PETRONAS is partnering with Battelle in renewables A “Renewable Energy Laboratory Concept Agreement” was signed on 15 November 2007 between PETRONAS, Battelle, Battelle-Japan, and Mitsubishi Corporation

5. What are the issues and challenges? Is there enough biomass to make a difference? (Yes – but if operated at scale, this enterprise requires new approach) Can the biomass be converted economically? (Yes – significant R&D activities show important advances) Can this be done sustainably? (Probably – but a systematic global approach maybe necessary) 5

6. 6 Biomass availability Numerous assessments world-wide indicate significant potential availability of biomass

7. 7 The global biomass potential is enormous – if managed right Highly productive agriculture Effective bioenergy crops Effective management of land use Kline et al, Issues in Science & Technology, Spring 2009
