1. Biobased Economy NetherlandsSince 2007 approved policy for

Biobased EconomyMatch Economic Strength:

logistics, chemical industry,food, research

Contribute to GHG savingsCooperate internationallyMillenium Goals for LDC

Approach:- Biorefinery (efficient use)- Sustainable Import (worldwide)- R&D


Concerns on biofuels• Competition with food (price spikes 2007/2008)• Land use change (direct and indirect)• Loss of biodiversity• Loss of GHG sinks• Other sustainability effects:

• Locally: soil, water, air• Social (poverty, land rights)

• And • more trade

In a complex biomass world need for trust

Biomass Chain Assessment


Sustainable Biomass Standards: Cramer: Principles, Criteria and Indicators:

1. Greenhouse gas balance2. Competition with food, local energy

supply, medicines and construction materials

3. Biodiversity4. Prosperity5. Welfare6. Environment


2. Programs for Sustainable Biomass Sustainable Biomass

MondialSustainable Biomass Import Daey Ouwens Fund

Goal Support Developing Countries in sustainable biomass production for energy to obtain access to worldmarket.

Support the increase of sustainable biomass for energy in major producing countries to the Netherlands

Support Developing Countries in local renewable energy supply

4. Pilots projects support learning proces:Goal of financial support:

• Attain sustainable production• Knowledge transfer and

capacity building• Avoid negative indirect

effects (macro monitoring)• Certification of sustainable

trade chains

Supporting Program• Build up knowledge for

improving policies of biomass and biofuel use and support

Goal for Jatropha workshop 27 september 2010

Discussions in an open atmosphere

1. Learn, about sucses and failures

2. What do we know? What is sure?

3. How we can improve our projects?

4. Are there still questions?

5. Can we use the projects to solve the questions?
