Task 44: Flexible Bioenergy and System Integration
IEA Bioenergy TCP’s Task 44 Flexible Bioenergy and System Integration aims at creating a clear picture of status of and opportunities for flexible bioenergy. Particularly important roles that bioenergy can play in the global energy and climate system include 1) enabling increased share of variable renewable energy in the electricity mix through provision of flexibility […]

The intermittent nature of these renewables, however, will evoke growing challenges regarding matching energy supply and demand. Studies […]
read moreThe discussion paper is a summary of IEA Bioenergy Technology Collaboration Programme Task 44 to encourage collaboration and knowledge sharing, to raise awareness for the important potential of flexible bioenergy in sustainable energy system integration, and to explore issues and solutions to fully realise this potential. The target audience of the paper are people interested […]

read moreThe increasing share of renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic systems and wind turbines, of which electricity production depends on weather conditions, leads to a need for more flexibility and controllability of other energy sources, energy carriers and energy storage devices. This report highlights a number of technologies which make the inherent flexibility of sustainable […]

read moreThis report gives an overview on the status and the expectation of flexible bioenergy in eleven OECD countries (Australia, Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States of America) to see different approaches for flexible bioenergy, and summarises drivers and barriers. The report describes the general role of bioenergy in […]
read moreIt is becoming increasingly clear that substantial amounts of negative emissions – essentially, the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere – will likely be required if global climate change is to be limited to 2°C above pre-industrial levels. In order to limit warming to 1.5° negative emissions will be a crucial part of the […]
read moreUnder the IEA Bioenergy Inter-task project The Role of Bioenergy in a WB2/SDG world, a workshop was held in Berlin, on 25th November 2019. The objective of the workshop was to examine, synthesize and disseminate information from recent studies that investigate how bioenergy and associated technologies may contribute to achieving the reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) […]
