日本語
本研究はEUの気候中立達成に向け、バイオマスのエネルギー・材料利用を時間軸で最適配分するための「メリットオーダー」アプローチを開発・適用した。バイオガス、バイオ燃料、ファインケミカル等の主要用途の仮定を精緻化し、供給制約下での最適なセクター間配分を実証的に示す。Agoraのシナリオと連携し、持続可能なバイオエコノミー実現への政策的指針を提供する。
English
This study develops and applies a merit-order approach to optimally allocate biomass across energy and material sectors in the EU, crucial for climate neutrality by 2050. It refines assumptions for key applications such as biomethane, biofuels, and fine chemicals, and provides evidence-based guidance on how to manage biomass supply constraints over time. The analysis supports policy decisions for a competitive and strategic-autonomy-oriented bioeconomy.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本はバイオマス資源の多くを輸入に依存しており、EUの配分方法論は国内の需給計画や輸入戦略に示唆を与える。特に、SSBJや気候関連開示が進む中、バイオマス調達の持続可能性評価やサプライチェーン上のリスク管理に役立つ点で関心が高い。
In the global GX context
As the EU pursues climate neutrality, this paper provides a systematic method for allocating scarce biomass—relevant to global debates on bioenergy, circularity, and land-use trade-offs. It complements ISSB/CSRD sustainability reporting by offering a transparent, scenario-based framework for biomass procurement and use, applicable to corporate transition planning.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a novel merit-order methodology for biomass allocation that can be adapted to other national contexts.
🏢実務担当者:Helps corporate sustainability teams anticipate biomass supply constraints and inform sustainable sourcing strategies.
🏛政策担当者:Offers evidence-based guidance on how to prioritize biomass uses in a climate-neutral economy, balancing energy and material needs.
📄 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.
