Come to Bioenergy Country: or, the Bioenergy Countries’ Report

October 5, 2016 |

bd-ts-100616-iea-smIn the EU, the International Energy Agency has released its Bioenergy Countries’ Report, outlining the national renewable energy targets, total primary energy supply and contribution of bioenergy.  We’ve presented the information relating to EU counties, below. The complete report can be downloaded here.

This report was prepared from IEA statistical data, information from IRENA, and IEA Bioenergy Tasks’ country reports, combined with data provided by the IEA Bioenergy Executive Committee. All individual country reports were reviewed by the national delegates to the IEA Bioenergy Executive Committee, who have approved the content. All data is taken from IEA statistics for the year 2014.

The first figure presents the Total Primary Energy Supply (TPES) by source — and depicts the share of fossil energy carriers in the country’s energy mix, with the drawback that the source of imported electricity is unknown. Resource categories displayed include coal and coal products; crude oil, natural gas liquid (NGL) and oil products; natural gas; nuclear; renewable energy and electricity (imported minus exported).

Renewable energy sources include hydropower, geothermal, solar, wind and biofuels & wastes are taken into consideration.

In the third figure, the contribution of different biofuels is presented in detail.These include renewable municipal wastes, solid biofuels, biogases, biogasoline, biodiesel and other liquid biofuels. For the purposes of this report, biogasoline includes all types of biofuels being used in Otto engines, and biodiesel includes all types of biofuels being used in Diesel engines.
