English
This study, commissioned by Agora Energiewende, refines EU biomass demand and supply scenarios for climate neutrality. Ifeu and SYKE develop a merit-order approach for allocating scarce sustainable biomass across energy and material sectors, testing assumptions for biomethane, biofuels, and fine chemicals. It provides evidence-based guidance on optimal biomass allocation under sustainability constraints.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本ではバイオマス発電・熱利用のFIT/FIP制度下で資源配分の効率性が課題となっており、EUのメリットオーダー手法は国内のバイオマス利用の優先順位付けや持続可能性基準の設計に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
For global GX scholarship, this paper advances the debate on competition for finite biomass between energy and materials in net-zero transitions. Its merit-order logic and scenario refinement complement TCFD/ISSB-aligned transition planning by clarifying resource-allocation risks in bioeconomy pathways.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Transition pathway modellers and bioeconomy researchers gain a structured merit-order framework for allocating constrained biomass across sectors.
🏢実務担当者:Bioenergy and biochemical producers can anticipate which uses are prioritized under EU climate-neutral scenarios, informing investment and feedstock strategy.
🏛政策担当者:EU and national policymakers can use the evidence-based allocation guidance to design sustainable biomass strategies and avoid lock-in.
📄 Abstract（原文）
As biomass demand is projected to rise to replace fossil resources, sustainable biomass supply is foreseen to face increasing constraints, while a comprehensive overview of future biomass demand and supply in the EU is lacking. Given biomass potential in contributing to Europe’s climate neutrality by 2050, Agora sought to optimise the production and use of biomass for energy and materials in the EU over time. Agora developed scenarios for biomass demand and supply in a climate neutral EU, whilst promoting competitiveness and strategic autonomy. In this context, Agora Energiewende commissioned Ifeu to assess the viability and practicality of a merit-order for biomass utilisation and provide higher granularity of some biomass flows to refine Agora’s approach on biomass for energy and materials. The present study is thus based on Agora’s main studies Agriculture, forestry and food in a climate neutral EU. The land use sectors as part of a sustainable food system and bioeconomy (Agora Agriculture, 2024) and Breaking free from fossil gas - A new path to a climate-neutral Europe (Agora Energiewende, 2023). ifeu developed and applied a merit-order approach to biomass utilisation, enabling a more granular and systematic allocation of biomass across sectors in Europe. Ifeu’s study refines assumptions for key applications—including biomethane, biofuels and fine chemicals—and considers Agora’s approach against alternative scenarios. In close collaboration with Agora, and together with SYKE, ifeu’s analysis improves the resolution of biomass supply and demand and provides evidence-based guidance on optimal biomass allocation across sectors over time.
