Overarching objective of the EU biodiversity strategy for 2030 is recovering biodiversity by strengthening the protection and restoration of nature. Key elements are the creation of protected areas on at least 30% of Europe's land and sea area, including stronger protective measures for forests. However, any implementation of dedicated measures will reduce roundwood production in EU member states. It is to be expected that parts of this reduced roundwood production will be compensated by increasing roundwood production in non-EU countries. There is a fundamental risk of biodiversity losses in non-EU countries accompanying such leakage of roundwood production. From a global perspective, such biodiversity losses must be opposed to biodiversity gains in EU countries. The presented study provides a first assessment of possible leakage effects and rep-resents the state of work as of September 2020. At first, the presented study provides an estimate of the decline in roundwood production in EU member states as a result of implementing partial or full production restrictions in forests. In a second step, implications of reduced roundwood production within EU-27 on global wood markets are assessed. Finally, leakage of roundwood production to non-EU countries is evaluated using indicators related to governance, sustainable forest management, biodiversity, forest condition, deforestation pressure and socio-economic aspects. In order to estimate the reduction in roundwood production in EU countries firstly three single implementation measures are assessed and then consolidated for Germany: (i) 10 % share of forest area set-aside, (ii) non-utilization of 'old-growth forests' and (iii) 30 % share of protected forest areas under Habitats Directive management requirements. As a result, the potential roundwood production in Germany declines on average within the period examined (2018 - 2052) by 23.96 million m³/a to 52.77 million m³/a or to 69 %. In the following calculations, this reduction share is assigned to all EU-27 countries. [...] Übergeordnetes Ziel der Biodiversitätsstrategie für 2030 der EU ist die Erholung der biologischen Vielfalt durch Verstärkung des Schutzes und der Wiederherstellung der Natur. Schlüsselelemente zur Erreichung der Ziele sind u.a. die Schaffung von Schutzzonen auf mindestens 30 % der Land- und Meeresgebiete und ein strengerer Schutz der europäischen Wälder. Die Implementierung konkreter Maßnahmen im Wald wird sich unmittelbar auf die Rohholzproduktion in den EU-Mitgliedsstaaten auswirken. Es ist jedoch zu erwarten, dass mindestens ein Teil der Rohholzproduktion in sogenannte Drittstaaten verlagert wird. Mit solchen Verlagerungseffekten besteht ganz grundsätzlich die Gefahr des Verlustes von Biodiversität in den betreffenden Drittstaaten. Aus einer globalen Perspektive müssen diese Biodiversitätsverluste dem Biodiversitätsgewinn in der EU gegenübergestellt werden. Die vorliegende Studie schätzt zunächst den Rückgang der Rohholzproduktion in den EU-Mitgliedsländern als Folge von vollständigen oder teilweisen Nutzungseinschränkungen in den Wäldern ab. Darauf aufbauend wird untersucht, wie sich eine reduzierte Rohholzproduktion innerhalb der EU-27 auf die globalen Holzmärkte auswirkt. Im dritten Schritt wird beurteilt, wie die Verlagerung der Rohholzproduktion in andere Länder anhand von Indikatoren zu Governance, nachhaltiger Waldbewirtschaftung, biologischer Vielfalt, Waldzustand, Entwaldungsdruck und sozio-ökonomischen Aspekten beurteilt werden kann. Für die Abschätzung des Einschlagsrückgangs werden drei verschiedene Umsetzungsmaßnahmen anhand verfügbarer Modellergebnisse für Deutschland untersucht und miteinander verschnitten: (i) 10 % Flächenanteil von Stilllegungsflächen im Wald, (ii) Verzicht auf die Holznutzung auf allen Standorten mit 'old-growth forest' und (iii) 30 % Anteil der verbleibenden Flächen mit naturschutzfachlichen FFH-Bewirtschaftungsauflagen. Das Ergebnis zeigt, dass unter diesem Szenario das potenzielle Rohholzaufkommen in Deutschland im Mittel für den Betrachtungszeitraum 2018 bis 2052 um insgesamt 23,96 Mio. m³/a auf 52,77 Mio. m³/a bzw. auf 69 % reduziert würde. Diese prozentuale Reduktion wird für die folgenden Berechnungsschritte auf alle EU-27-Länder übertragen. [...]

This working paper analyses instruments and measures to meet the targets set in the Germanys climate action plan 2050 for agriculture to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and for LULUCF to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or enhance sinks until 2030. In the focus are measures on the federal state level. For the different areas of actions and measures we discuss instruments and options for implementation, greenhouse gas mitigation potential, economic impacts, as well as impacts on employment, environment and health. The measures and implementation options analysed shall help to provide a better information basis for the planned portfolio within the pro-gram of measures to implement the German climate action plan. The working paper reflects the status of analysis from summer 2019. An update of the impact analysis of the current specification in the frame of the climate mitigation program 2030 of the federal government for the implementation of the climate action plan 2050 (Bundestagsdruck-sache 19/ 13900; 11.10.2019) is not part of this paper and needs to be part of future research., DOI:10.3220/WP1576590038000

In a second step, implications of reduced roundwood production within EU-27 on global wood markets are assessed. Finally, leakage of roundwood production to non-EU countries is evaluated using in-dicators related to governance, sustainable forest management, biodiversity, forest condition, de-forestation pressure and socio-economic aspects. In order to estimate the reduction in roundwood production in EU countries firstly three single implementation measures are assessed and then consolidated for Germany: (i) 10 % share of forest area set-aside, (ii) non-utilization of “old-growth forests” and (iii) 30 % share of protected forest areas under Habitats Directive management requirements. As a result, the potential roundwood production in Germany declines on average within the period examined (2018 – 2052) by 23.96 million m³/a to 52.77 million m³/a or to 69 %. In the following calculations, this reduction share is assigned to all EU-27 countries. Modelling international roundwood production leakage using the Global Forests Products Model GFPM projects an overall roundwood production decrease of 42 % in the EU-27 for the year 2050. Increased roundwood production in non-EU countries would compensate for 73 % of the de-creased roundwood production in the EU. The remaining 27 % can be understood as price-induced reduction of wood products consumption. Until 2050 EU-27’s decreased roundwood production would mainly be offset by increased production in the USA. According to the modelling results, 26 % of decreased roundwood production are leaked to the USA. Further leakage occurs to Russia (12 %), Canada (9 %) und Brazil (8 %). Differentiating non-consumption into soft- and hardwood, non-consumption of hardwood is more pronounced (39 %) than non-consumption of softwood (11 %). Consumption of fuelwood declines by 67 % but its production does not shift to non-EU countries. Basically, fuelwood is consumed to a much smaller share, due to increasing prices and the following assumed transition to other energy sources. Only small leakages are calculated for pulp and paper products. Leakages for sawn wood and wood-based panels show comparable rela-tive changes to those modelled for roundwood production. Implementation of the EU biodiversity strategy causes decreasing roundwood production in EU member states and increasing roundwood production in non-EU countries. The expected addi-tional production would be shifted to countries that have a significantly higher proportion of intact forest areas compared to the EU, but already have lost significant amounts of these areas in recent years. The described leakage poses a threat to the remaining intact forest areas in non-EU-countries. Non-EU countries with a modelled roundwood production increase often show smaller biomass stocks and higher shares of already degraded area than EU-27 member states. Either this could indicate a further threat or a potential for promoting afforestation measures to buffer pres-sure on natural forests. Further protection measures in the EU would further increase the discrepancy to protection measures of other countries. In non-EU countries, net deforestation is higher, significantly lower proportions of forest areas are placed under protection and less money is spent on the conserva-tion of biodiversity than in EU countries. The average Red List Index indicates an increased threat of extinction of species for non-EU countries. Also, income disparities are higher in non-EU coun-tries than in EU member states. For particularly poor countries, the shift of roundwood production could mean an opportunity to benefit from potential job creation, but on the other hand there is also the risk of displacement effects for often subsistence-based income groups. Countries with high additional roundwood production and high vulnerability should be primarily focused on in the risk assessment. Immediate risks are further endangerment of already endan-gered species, reduction of intact forest area, increase of degraded land area and increased net deforestation. At a global scale it is expected that positive biodiversity effects in the EU due to additional protection are counteracted by negative effects in non-EU countries. Thus, European policy measures should focus particularly on these countries in order to buffer potential leakage effects by strengthening sustainable forest management and respective governance. The presented report constitutes a pre-study on leakage effect of the EU biodiversity strategy. It uses information and data that is available at this point. However, for a more detailed analysis further data from EU member states and further development of the applied methods are neces-sary., DOI:10.3220/WP1604416717000

The transition of the current economic system from non-renewable and fossil-based towards a more sustainable system using renewable resources is a dedicated objective of the German Na-tional Bioeconomy Strategy. In order to provide sound information on the status of the bioecon-omy, a monitoring concept that assesses the bio-based resources and sustainability effects associ-ated with German bioeconomy was developed. The general monitoring approach includes a definition of the bioeconomy and its implementation in terms of material flows and economic sectors at a given point in time. Based on this, available data is collected and bio-based material flows and economic sectors are quantified. These quanti-fications are used in the following sustainability assessment of material flows and economic sec-tors. This procedure can be repeated, starting again with a definition of bioeconomy that may change over time according to changing policies, market development and public perceptions of bioeconomy. Thus, bioeconomy monitoring considers the dynamics of the bioeconomy transition concerning processes, products, available data and connected sustainability goals. Understanding and quantifying material flows provides the foundation for comprehending the pro-cessing of biomass along value chains and final biomass uses. They also provide information for sustainability assessment. For biomass from agriculture, forests and fisheries including aquacul-ture, relevant material flows are compiled. Material flow data is not available consistently but must be collected from a broad variety of sources. Consequently, inconsistencies regarding reference units and conversion factors arise that need to be addressed further in a future monitoring. Bio-based shares of economic sectors can be quantified using mostly official statistics, but also empirical data. Bio-based shares vary considerably between economic activities. The manufacture of food products, beverages and wooden products has the highest bio-based shares. Bioeconomy target sectors like chemicals, plastics and construction still have rather small bio-based shares. The suggested assessment of sustainability effects foresees two complimentary levels of evalua-tion: material flows and economic sectors. The latter quantifies total effects of bioeconomy in a country and relates them to the whole economy or parts of it. The presented indicators were se-lected based on the Sustainability Development Goal Framework, the German Sustainable Devel-opment Strategy and the availability of data. The selection of effects and indicators to be measured in a future monitoring is a crucial point of any quantification. With sustainability being a normative concept, societal perceptions of sustainability should be taken into consideration here. In that con-text, we suggest to follow the approach of LOFASA for indicator selection. Sustainability assess-ment of material flows is demonstrated on the example of softwood lumber material flow and its core product EPAL 1 pallet using a combination of material flow analysis and life cycle assessment. Major challenges for a future monitoring of the bioeconomy’s resource base and sustainability are availability of detailed and aggregated data, identification of bio-based processes and products within the economic classifications, identification and quantification of interfaces between bio-mass types, selection of indicators for sustainability assessment and the inclusion of bio-based ser-vices., DOI:10.3220/WP1593762669000

The Charter for Wood 2.0 (CfW 2.0) aims to increase the contribution of forestry and forest-based industries to climate change mitigation; maintain and improve value creation and competitiveness of the forestry and wood cluster; and conserve finite resources through the sustainable and efficient use of forests and wood. The CfW 2.0 is implemented through a dialogue process covering six thematic fields of action. It involves actors from politics, the public sector, industry, science as well as civil society. The Charter process is accompanied by an evaluation whose task it is to provide Charter actors with science-based information on progress in the fields of action. The following report discusses the methodological basis of the evaluation and develops the evaluation concept. As a long-term process which involves diverse actors and governance levels, the CfW 2.0 possesses several distinctive features. With three primary aims (climate change mitigation, value creation and resource efficiency) and various intermediate aims in the fields of action, the Charter is characterised by a complex system of policy aims. Its implementation requires coordinated action on different policy and administration levels. Moreover, it is based on the active involvement of actors from science, industry and civil society. Consequently, responsibilities for the implementation of measures are allocated in the course of the Charter process. Similarly, the Charter’s instrument mix is deliberately not defined ex-ante, but results from the Charter process and evolves over times. Given diverse interactions between instruments, isolating the contribution of individual measures to a specific development can be associated with high uncertainty. In handling complex cause-effect relationships in the context of multiple aims, actors and instruments, the evaluation builds on insights from systems-oriented evaluation research on innovation policy. Its focus is the long-term support of learning and decision processes. By combining different methods and levels of analysis, it aims to cover information requirements concerning developments in the Charter’s fields of action, but also facilitate learning regarding the design of the Charter process. A participatory approach, which actively includes members of the Charter’s steering and working groups in the evaluation process, ensures that the evaluation generates information useful to the Charter process. The evaluation concept was developed in coordination with the Charter actors and encompasses three elements: (1) An outcome evaluation, which a) employs monitoring indicators to analyse the development of important variables in the Charter’s fields of action and b) conducts in-depth analyses to explore what role Charter measures play in influencing these developments, within the context of wider instrument mixes (2) A process evaluation, which a) reflects on results and procedures of the Charter process and b) develops recommendations for the further development of the process (3) Short analyses of selected focus topics, to document current changes in framework conditions which may prove relevant for the Charter’s system of aims, DOI: 10.3220/REP1552650032000

Im vorliegenden Bericht wird dargestellt, welche Instrumente und Maßnahmen zur Erreichung der Sektorziels des Klimaschutzplans 2050 (KSP 2050) bis zum Jahr 2030 für die Landwirtschaft und zur Minderung von Emissionen und Steigerung der Senkenleistung im Bereich LULUCF notwendig sind. Dabei stehen Maßnahmen auf der Bundesebene im Mittelpunkt. Für die verschiedenen Handlungsfelder und Maßnahmen werden Instrumente zu deren Umsetzung diskutiert, die THG-Minderungspotentiale dargestellt, und Folgen auf Wirtschaft, Beschäftigung, Umwelt und Gesundheit abgeschätzt. Die analysierten Maßnahmen- und Ausgestaltungsoptionen sollen die Informationsgrundlage für die geplante Aufstellung des Maßnahmenprogramms zur Umsetzung des KSP 2050 verbessern. Der Bericht gibt den Arbeitsstand vom Sommer 2019 wieder. Eine Aktualisierung der Folgenabschätzung für die mittlerweile erfolgte Konkretisierung im Klimaschutzprogramm 2030 der Bundesregierung zur Umsetzung des Klimaschutzplans 2050 (Bundestagsdrucksache 19/ 13900 vom 11.10.2019) erfolgt in diesem Bericht nicht, dies bliebt darauf aufbauenden Arbeiten vorbehalten. This working paper analyses instruments and measures to meet the targets set in the Germanys climate action plan 2050 for agriculture to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and for LULUCF to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or enhance sinks until 2030. In the focus are measures on the federal state level. For the different areas of actions and measures we discuss instruments and options for implementation, greenhouse gas mitigation potential, economic impacts, as well as impacts on employment, environment and health. The measures and implementation options analysed shall help to provide a better information basis for the planned portfolio within the pro-gram of measures to implement the German climate action plan. The working paper reflects the status of analysis from summer 2019. An update of the impact analysis of the current specification in the frame of the climate mitigation program 2030 of the federal government for the implementation of the climate action plan 2050 (Bundestagsdrucksache 19/ 13900; 11.10.2019) is not part of this paper and needs to be part of future research.

Die Ausgestaltung der Waldklimapolitik in Deutschland ist mit zahlreichen Interessenskonflikten verbunden und bedarf Entscheidungshilfen zu derzeitigen und künftigen Handlungsoptionen. Eine Entscheidungsgrundlage für Handlungsoptionen zur zukünftigen Waldbehandlung und Holzverwendung sind die Ergebnisse der aktuellen Bundeswaldinventur (BWI 2012) und die darauf auf-bauende Waldentwicklungs- und Holzaufkommensmodellierung (WEHAM). Das von Bund und Ländern unter Anhörung der Verbände entwickelte WEHAM-Basisszenario beinhaltet die derzeitigen und erwarteten ökonomischen und legislativen Rahmenbedingungen der Waldbewirtschaftung und bildet die unter diesen Voraussetzungen zukünftig erwartete Waldbewirtschaftung ab. Im Verbundforschungsprojekt WEHAM-Szenarien wurden alternative Waldbehandlungs- und Holzverwendungsszenarien in einem Beteiligungsprozess mit Stakeholdern entwickelt und diese in einer Nachhaltigkeitsbewertung evaluiert. Im Rahmen einer Online-Befragung wurden Stakeholder unter anderem zu ihren Ansprüchen an die zukünftige Waldnutzung und Holzverwendung befragt. Zusätzlich wurden in drei Stakeholder-Workshops mögliche Zielgrößen der Waldnutzung und Holz-verwendung konkretisiert und diskutiert und Nachhaltigkeitskriterien erarbeitet. Die auf dieser Basis erarbeiteten Szenarien und Nachhaltigkeitskriterien fokussieren auf den Nutzungskonflikt zwischen Holznutzung und Naturschutz im Wald. The development of forest climate policy in Germany is associated with numerous conflicts of interest and requires decision-making on present and future courses of action. One basis for decision-making on options for future forest management and wood use are the results of the current Federal Forest Inventory (BWI 2012) and subsequently the forest development and wood resource modeling (WEHAM). The WEHAM basic scenario, developed by the Federal Government and the Länder, with the consultation of associations, includes the present and expected economic and legislative framework conditions for forest management, and represents the forest management expected under these conditions in the future. In the joint research project WEHAM-Scenarios alternative forest management and timber use scenarios were developed in a stakeholder process and evaluated in a sustainability assessment. Within the scope of an online survey, stakeholders were interrogated among other things about their demands on future forest and timber use. In addition, target values and sustainability criteria for forest management and timber use were concretized and discussed within three stakeholder workshops. The scenarios and sustainability criteria developed on this basis focus on the conflict of use between wood use and nature conservation in the forest.

- Abstract
Gegenstand des Berichts ist die Rolle der UNFCCC-Quellgruppen Landwirtschaft sowie Landnutzung, Landnutzungsänderung und Forstwirtschaft (land use, land use change and forestry, LULUCF) bei der künftigen Reduzierung von THG-Emissionen in Deutschland. In Kapitel 2 werden Stand und Entwicklung der THG-Emissionen dieser Quellgruppen anhand der Daten aus der nationalen Emissionsberichterstattung dargestellt. Die Weiterentwicklung der klimaschutzpolitischen Rahmenbedingungen wird in Kapitel 3 nachgezeichnet, wobei die für Landwirtschaft und LULUCF relevanten Aspekte näher beleuchtet werden. Aufbauend auf einen Überblick über klimaschutzpolitische Aktivitäten von Bund und Ländern in der Land-, Forst- und Holzwirtschaft (Kapitel 4) werden in Kapitel 5 konkrete Maßnahmenoptionen beschrieben und bewertet. Der Bericht schließt mit Empfehlungen zur Umsetzung. Da für den Forst- und Holzbereich bereits ausgearbeitete Strategien vorliegen, besteht Handlungsbedarf besonders bezüglich der Frage, wie die Landwirtschaft künftig in nationale Klimaschutzziele eingebunden werden soll.

The aim of this paper is to estimate the future carbon balance of wood use in Germany combining a national forest inventory data-driven forest growth model with information about German harvested wood products markets and taking into account material and energy substitution effects. In a scenario analysis, we assess impacts of different forest management options, change of market share of harvested wood products as well as changes of the national energy mix. Additionally, the model settings and assumptions that predominantly determine the results are identified and discussed. The simulation results show that only a radical change of forest management in Germany would cause net carbon emissions. The continuation of current forest management or a higher share of high yield tree species as well as a change of market shares of wood and wood products would result in a net carbon sequestration in German forest and harvested wood products carbon pools. Considering substitution effects, even the net carbon emissions of a radically changed forest management would be over compensated and the carbon balance of all other scenarios would become even more positive. Looking at the most decisive factors regarding our simulation results, the initial treatment of the forest carbon pool, the starting year for the simulations and the present forest structure are most crucial for further accumulated net carbon pool changes.

Die deutsche Fläche an Kurzumtriebsplantagen (KUP) ist in den letzten drei Jahren überproportional stark angestiegen, und für 2011 geht die FNR von über 4.000 ha kommerziell genutzten Plantagen aus. Die größten KUP-Flächen befinden sich in Brandenburg (~ 1.600 ha), Niedersachsen (~ 700 ha) und Bayern (~ 480 ha). Die dynamische Entwick-lung der letzten Jahre ist unter anderem auf das Engagement großer Energieversorgungsun-ternehmen zurückzuführen, die die Versorgung ihrer Biomasseheizkraftwerke nachhaltig und langfristig zu sichern versuchen. Trotz der positiven Entwicklung bleibt die Flächenentwicklung hinter den Erwartungen und Wünschen seitens der Politik zurück. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es Ziel dieses Beitrags, den aktuellen Stand der Erkenntnisse zu den ökologischen und ökonomischen Effekten des KUP-Anbaus zusammenzustellen. Dabei wird auch die Frage der Förderung thematisiert. In deutschen Zuchtprogrammen werden derzeit Pappeln, Weiden und Robinien bearbeitet, um die Versorgung mit geeignetem Vermehrungsgut auf eine breitere Basis zu stellen. Die Verwendungsmöglichkeiten für Holz von KUP werden von der Baumart und der gewählten Rotationszeit bestimmt. Weide und Holz aus kurzen Rotationszeiten von zwei bis drei Jahren werden in der Regel energetisch genutzt. Für die Böden unter KUP werden die gegenüber ackerbaulicher Nutzung extensivierte Bodenbearbeitung und Kulturpflege als vorteilhaft angesehen. Dieses trägt auch zu einer höheren Pflanzenvielfalt bei. Auf artenreichen Offenlandflächen, vor allem Grünland, kann die Etablierung von KUP aus Biodiversitätsgesichtspunkten jedoch eine ungünstige Änderung des Artenspektrums hervorrufen sowie mit einem Verlust an Bodenkohlenstoff einhergehen. Da sich die Artenzusammensetzung im Laufe der Zeit verschiebt, empfiehlt sich die Anlage mehrerer kleinerer anstatt einer großen KUP, die Pflanzung verschiedener Baumarten und Klone bzw. Sorten sowie eine Bewirtschaftung in unterschiedlichen Rotationszyklen innerhalb einer Gegend. Durch diese Maßnahmen wird die Strukturvielfalt erhöht, und es stehen Habitate für Tier- und Pflanzenarten mit unterschiedlichen Ansprüchen zur Verfügung. [...] During the last three years, the German area of short rotation coppice (SRC) has increased strongly. The FNR (Agency for Renewable Resources) expects that in 2011 the commer-cially used plantations exceed 4,000 ha. The largest SRC areas are found in Brandenburg (~ 1,600 ha), Lower Saxony (~ 700 ha) and Bavaria (~ 480 ha). Among other things, the dynamic development of the last years goes back to the involvement of large energy pro-viders that want to secure the supply of their biomass heating power plants. Despite the positive development, the SRC area development falls short of expectations and wishes of politicians. Against this background, this contribution aims at compiling current findings regarding ecologic and economic aspects of SRC. Further, the question of government support is being discussed. German breeding programmes deal with poplar, willow and black locust in order to broaden the basis of the planting material supply. The possible uses of wood from SRC plantations are determined by the species and the rotation cycle. Willow and wood from SRCs managed in rotation periods of two to three years are normally used energetically. The soils under SRC plantations profit from the extensive soil cultivation and reduced plant protection as compared to the agronomic use. This also contributes to higher plant diversity. However, on species rich open areas, in particular grassland, the establishment of SRC can change the species spectrum negatively from the perspective of biodiversity as well as reduce the soil carbon content. Since the species composition changes over time, it is advisable to establish several small instead of one large SRC, to plant different tree spe-cies and varieties, respectively, and to manage the plantation in different rotation cycles. These measures increase the structural diversity and habitats for animals and plants with different requirements develop.[...]

Das Thünen-Institut wurde vom Bundesministerium für Ernährung, Landwirtschaft und Verbraucherschutz (BMELV) gebeten, die volkswirtschaftliche Bedeutung der biobasierten Wirtschaft in Deutschland zu kalkulieren. Grundlage bildet die vom Bioökonomierat der Bundesregierung aufgestellte Definition der biobasierten Wirtschaft als alle wirtschaftlichen Sektoren und ihre dazugehörigen Dienstleistungen, die biologische Ressourcen produzieren, be- und verarbeiten oder in irgendeiner Form nutzen. Mithilfe verschiedener, hauptsächlich amtlicher Statistiken wurden die Wirtschaftssektoren und deren Anteile biobasierten Wirtschaftens für das Jahr 2007 in Deutschland ermittelt. Die Quantifizierung erfolgte über die Größen Anzahl der Unternehmen, Beschäftigte, Umsatz und Bruttowertschöpfung. Werden alle Aktivitäten von der Primärproduktion über die Verarbeitung und Vermarktung bis zu den Dienstleistungen berücksichtigt, so sind diesen Berechnungen zu Folge knapp 5 Millionen Beschäftige, was etwa 12,5 % aller Beschäftigten entspricht, dem Bereich zuzuordnen. Mit einer Bruttowertschöpfung von knapp 165 Mrd. Euro liegt der Anteil der biobasierten Wirtschaft bei etwa 7,6 % der Gesamtwirtschaft. Insgesamt wird deutlich, dass die Rohware Biomasse Grundlage für beträchtliche wirtschaftliche Aktivitäten ist. Im Arbeitsbericht wird an verschiedenen Stellen auf die Unschärfe der Zuordnung von Daten zur biobasierten Wirtschaft, aber auch auf das bisher nicht befriedigend gelöste Problem der trennscharfen Zuordnung von Aktivitäten zur biobasierten oder nicht-biobasierten Wirtschaft hingewiesen und eingegangen.

The German Government’s Integrated Energy and Climate Programme (IEKP) and the National Biomass Action Plan set ambitious targets for the further development of bioenergy until 2020. The share of energy from biomass is supposed to reach 8 % and 9.7 % of the total power consumption and of the total heat usage, respectively. The share of biofuels on the total consumption of fuels for transportation should rise up to 12 % (energetic) by 2020. This project aims to assess the possibilities of achieving the IEKP targets for bioenergy in a regional and global context. On a regional as well as global level, the potentials of different biomasses were determined in different development scenarios until 2020. Furthermore, the extent to which remote sensing could contribute in improving the spatial specification of biomass resources and whether it could be used as a monitoring system for the early detection of land use changes was investigated. On the regional level, the spatial implications of energetic biomass use was analysed with regard to environmental impacts and land use conflicts. Depending on their significance of spatial impacts, instruments of spatial planning were assessed in order to steer the supply of bioenergy. [... from Executive Summary]

In dieser Studie werden Treibhausgasemissionen (THG) aus der deutschen Agrar- und Ernährungswirtschaft analysiert und Möglichkeiten zu ihrer Reduzierung erörtert. Darüber hinaus wird die Eignung von Ökobilanzen für die Bewertung von Produktionsverfahren und Produkten untersucht. In Kapitel 2 werden theoretische Grundlagen für die Umsetzung von Klimaschutzpolitiken erörtert. Als Bilanzierungs- und Analysemethoden werden die Emissionsberichterstattung, die umweltökonomischen Gesamtrechnungen, Ökobilanzen (Life Cycle Assessment) und Carbon Footprints vorgestellt. Es folgt in Kapitel 3 eine Analyse der THG-Emissionen des deutschen Agrar- und Ernährungssektors nach Quellgruppen der Klimaberichterstattung sowie in Bezug auf Produktionsprozesse und erzeugte Agrargüter. Anschließend wird in Kapitel 4 der Stand des Wissens zu kumulierten THG-Emissionen der Ernährungswirtschaft bis hin zum Konsum dargestellt. In Kapitel 5 wird eine Übersicht über mögliche technische und organisatorische Maßnahmen zur Verringerung von THG-Emissionen im Agrarsektor sowie Optionen für das individuelle Verbraucherverhalten gegeben. Erste Hinweise, wie die Politik die Realisierung wirksamer Klimaschutzmaßnahmen unterstützen kann, werden in Kapitel 6 vorgestellt. Als Klimaschutzmaßnahmen im Bereich Landwirtschaft und Landnutzung werden die Verbesserung der Stickstoffausnutzung, die Verwendung von Gülle in Biogasanlagen, die Beschränkung der Umwandlung von Grünland in Ackerland und die Renaturierung von Niedermooren hervorgehoben. Im Bereich Ernährung und Verbraucherverhalten sollte der Wissenstransfer im Mittelpunkt stehen. Produktspezifische Klima-Labels für Lebensmittel werden als ungeeignet angesehen. Bezüglich der Politiken zur Förderung der Bioenergie wird eine Ausrichtung auf Technologien mit den kostengünstigsten Klimaschutzbeiträgen empfohlen. Die Studie schließt mit einem kurzen Ausblick auf die zukünftige Forschungsarbeit des vTI im Bereich Klimaschutz und Ökobilanzierung.

Global Change Biology Bioenergy Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The ongoing debate about costs and benefits of wood-pellet based bioenergy production in the southeastern United States (SE USA) requires an understanding of the science and context influencing market decisions associated with its sustainability. Production of pellets has garnered much attention as US exports have grown from negligible amounts in the early 2000s to 4.6 million metric tonnes in 2015. Currently, 98% of these pellet exports are shipped to Europe to displace coal in power plants. We ask, ‘How is the production of wood pellets in the SE USA affecting forest systems and the ecosystem services they provide?’ To address this question, we review current forest conditions and the status of the wood products industry, how pellet production affects ecosystem services and biodiversity, and what methods are in place to monitor changes and protect vulnerable systems. Scientific studies provide evidence that wood pellets in the SE USA are a fraction of total forestry operations and can be produced while maintaining or improving forest ecosystem services. Ecosystem services are protected by the requirement to utilize loggers trained to apply scientifically based best management practices in planning and implementing harvest for the export market. Bioenergy markets supplement incomes to private rural landholders and provide an incentive for forest management practices that simultaneously benefit water quality and wildlife and reduce risk of fire and insect outbreaks. Bioenergy also increases the value of forest land to landowners, thereby decreasing likelihood of conversion to nonforest uses. Monitoring and evaluation are essential to verify that regulations and good practices are achieving goals and to enable timely responses if problems arise. Conducting rigorous research to understand how conditions change in response to management choices requires baseline data, monitoring, and appropriate reference scenarios. Long-term monitoring data on forest conditions should be publicly accessible and utilized to inform adaptive management.

Die Charta für Holz 2.0 (CfH 2.0) verfolgt das Ziel, den Klimaschutzbeitrag der Forst- und Holzwirtschaft zu steigern, Wertschöpfung und Wettbewerbsfähigkeit des Clusters Forst & Holz zu festigen und zu stärken, und endliche Ressourcen durch eine nachhaltige und effiziente Nutzung von Wäldern und Holz zu schonen. Die Umsetzung der CfH 2.0 stützt sich auf einen Dialogprozess, der sich an Akteure aus Politik, Verwaltung, Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft und Zivilgesellschaft richtet und sechs Handlungsfelder umfasst. Begleitend zum Charta-Prozess findet eine Evaluation statt, deren Aufgabe es ist, Charta-Akteuren wissenschaftlich basierte Informationen zum Fortschritt in den Handlungsfeldern zur Verfügung zu stellen. Der vorliegende Bericht beschreibt die wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen der Evaluationsmethodik und das Konzept der Evaluation. Als langfristig angelegter Prozess, der vielfältige Akteure einbindet und auf vielen Ebenen abläuft, weist die CfH 2.0 mehrere Besonderheiten auf. So verfügt sie über ein komplexes Zielsystem mit drei primären Zielen (Klimaschutz, Wertschöpfung und Ressourceneffizienz) und handlungsfeldspezifischen Unterzielen. Die Umsetzung der CfH 2.0 erfordert nicht nur koordiniertes Handeln auf verschiedenen Politik- und Verwaltungsebenen, sondern erfolgt unter aktiver Einbindung von Akteuren aus Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft und Zivilgesellschaft. Zuständigkeiten für Maßnahmen resultieren demnach aus dem Charta-Prozess. Der Instrumentenmix zur Umsetzung der Charta-Ziele ist bewusst nicht abschließend formuliert, sondern unterliegt einer kontinuierlichen Weiterentwicklung. Bei vielfältigen Wechselwirkungen zwischen Instrumenten kann die Abgrenzung des Beitrags, den eine einzelne Maßnahme zu einem bestimmten Ergebnis geleistet hat, mit hohen Unsicherheiten verbunden sein. [...] The Charter for Wood 2.0 (CfW 2.0) aims to increase the contribution of forestry and forest-based industries to climate change mitigation; maintain and improve value creation and competitiveness of the forestry and wood cluster; and conserve finite resources through the sustainable and efficient use of forests and wood. The CfW 2.0 is implemented through a dialogue process covering six thematic fields of action. It involves actors from politics, the public sector, industry, science as well as civil society. The Charter process is accompanied by an evaluation whose task it is to provide Charter actors with science-based information on progress in the fields of action. The following report discusses the methodological basis of the evaluation and develops the evaluation concept. As a long-term process which involves diverse actors and governance levels, the CfW 2.0 possesses several distinctive features. With three primary aims (climate change mitigation, value creation and resource efficiency) and various intermediate aims in the fields of action, the Charter is characterised by a complex system of policy aims. Its implementation requires coordinated action on different policy and administration levels. Moreover, it is based on the active involvement of actors from science, industry and civil society. Consequently, responsibilities for the implementation of measures are allocated in the course of the Charter process. Similarly, the Charter's instrument mix is deliberately not defined ex-ante, but results from the Charter process and evolves over times. Given diverse interactions between instruments, isolating the contribution of individual measures to a specific development can be associated with high uncertainty. [...]

Considering substitution effects, even the net carbon emissions of a radically changed forest management would be over compensated and the carbon balance of all other scenarios would become even more positive. Looking at the most decisive factors regarding our simulation results, the initial treatment of the forest carbon pool, the starting year for the simulations and the present forest structure are most crucial for further accumulated net carbon pool changes.

The article provides an overview of a study in Belgium which presents a comparative assessment on the life cycle of two biofuels including ethanol from sugar beet and methyl ester from rapeseed. The author assesses that it does support political decisions on biofuels and bio-energy and he would like to call for an open discussion and for papers that address this topic. He asserts that although different conversion factors of nitrogen (N) to nitrogen N
2 -N emissions are at first sight not a big issue, the conversion of natural habitats and its effect might be. However, he argues that a few questions need to be addressed, including what biofuels are produced on sites that have been converted 10 years ago and the effect of this on biodiversity.- Published
