36 #1. Introduction to rational use of the forest when we consider CO2 and energy production

37 The role of the forest? The best way to reduce the CO2 in the atmosphere may be to increase harvesting of the presently existing forests (!), to produce energy with CCS and to increase forest production in the new forest generations. We capture and store more CO2!

38 The role of the forest? The best way to reduce the CO2 in the atmosphere may be to increase harvesting of the presently existing forests (!), to produce energy with CCS and to increase forest production in the new forest generations. We capture and store more CO2!

39 Permanent storage of CO2 Coal mine Oil field Natural gas CCS, Carbon Capture and Storage, has already become the main future emission reduction method of the fossile fuel energy industry Energy plant with CO2 capture and separation

40 BBC World News : The British government declares that the CO2 emissions will be reduced by 80% by 2050! CCS is the method to be used in combination with fossile fuels such as coal.

44 CO2 Permanent storage of CO2 How to reduce the CO2 level in the atmosphere, not only to decrease the emission of CO2 Energy plant with CO2 capture and separation

45 The role of the forest in the CO2 and energy system The following six pictures show that it is necessary to intensify the use of the forest for energy production in combination with CCS in order to reduce the CO2 in atmosphere! All figures and graphs have been simplified as much as possible, keeping the big picture correct, in order to make the main point obvious. In all cases, we keep the total energy production constant.

46 CO2 Permanent storage of CO2 Coal, oil, gas The present situation CO2 increase in the atmosphere: 5-1 = 4

47 CO2 Permanent storage of CO2 Coal, oil, gas If we do not use the forest for energy production but use it as a carbon sink. Before the forest has reached equilibrium, this happens: CO2 increase in the atmosphere: 5-1 = 4

48 CO2 Permanent storage of CO2 Coal, oil, gas If we do not use the forest for energy production but use it as a carbon sink. When the forest has reached equilibrium, this happens: CO2 increase in the atmosphere: = 5

49 CO2 Permanent storage of CO2 Coal, oil, gas If we use CCS with 80% efficiency and let the forest grow until it reaches equilibrium CO2 increase in the atmosphere: = 1

50 CO2 Permanent storage of CO2 Coal, oil, gas If we use CCS with 80% efficiency and use the forest with ”traditional” low intensity harvesting and silviculture CO2 increase in the atmosphere: 1-1 = 0

51 CO2 Permanent storage of CO2 Coal, oil, gas If we use CCS with 80% efficiency and use the forest with increased harvesting and high intensity silviculture CO2 ”increase” in the atmosphere: 1-2 = -1

52 General conclusions: The best way to reduce the CO2 in the atmosphere may be to increase harvesting of the presently existing forests (!), to produce energy with CCS and to increase forest production in the new forest generations. We capture and store more CO2!

53 #2. Optimal dynamic control of the forest resource with changing energy demand functions and valuation of CO2 storage

54 The optimal control derivations and the software are found here: Lohmander, P., Optimal resource control model & General continuous time optimal control model of a forest resource, comparative dynamics and CO2 consideration effects, Seminar at SLU, Umea, Sweden, Software:

55 The Total Economic Result (Present Value) The Stock Level The ”Control” Level Economic valuation of CO2 storage in the natural resource Economic Valuation of the Production of Energy and Other Industrial Products

56 Initial stock level Terminal stock level The change of the stock level during a marginal time interval

57 V0 Time 0 Stock The forest stock level has increased very much in Sweden during 80 years!

58 If the forest owner gets paid for the CO2 stored in the forest, it becomes optimal for the forest owner to harvest less and increase the stock level. Still, it may be even better for society to harvest more, decrease the wood stock and use CCS to store the CO2. The stored CO2 is rewarded. The stored CO2 is not rewarded.

59 #3. Optimal CCS, Carbon Capture and Storage, Under Risk

60 The stochastic optimal control derivations of CCS are found here: Lohmander, P., Optimal CCS, Carbon Capture and Storage, Under Risk, International Seminars in Life Sciences, Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, Thursday

61 Optimal CCS, Carbon Capture and Storage, Under Risk The objective function is the total present value of CO2 storage minus CCS costs. Discounting factor u = control = CCS level x = The total storage level of CO2

62 The controlled storage A stochastic differential equation: Change of the CO2 storage level. Control = CCS level. Expected CO2 leakage. The CO2 storage level is to some extent affected by stochastic leakage and other stochastic events. Z = standard Wiener process.

63 The optimal CCS objective function for different risk levels. The details are found in the reference. V(x,t) x t

64 #4. Conclusions

65 Optimal Forest management conclusions: If the forest owner gets paid for the CO2 stored in the forest, it becomes optimal for the forest owner to harvest less and increase the stock level. Still, it may be even better for society to harvest more, decrease the present wood stock and use CCS to store the CO2. The best way to reduce the CO2 in the atmosphere may be to increase harvesting of the presently existing forests (!), to produce energy with CCS and to increase forest production in the new forest generations.

66 Optimal CCS Conclusions: A mathematical approach to optimal CCS control has been developed that can handle risk. Possible leakage is an important issue that has to be carefully investigated in the future. It is important that the future management decisions are based on a decision model consistent with the structure of this model and that the parameter values are carefully estimated before practical management decisions are calculated.

78 Observations From a pure ”raw material perspective”, you may show that a very large part of the Swedish forest should be instantly harvested, even if the real rate of interest is not higher than 3%. If the real rate of interest exceeds 3%, you should if possible harvest even more. If the growth rate of the next forest generation increases, you should also harvest the present forest earlier.

92 Observations Even if we do not accept to decrease the stock level below the very high level of today, we should strongly increase harvesting during a considerable time interval. In this first derivation, the improved growth rate in new plantations has not been considered.

94 Observations If we are prepared to adjust the stock level to the stock level of the year 1985, (approximately Mm3sk), we should increase harvesting very much during a long time period. Then, the total economic value strongly improves. In this derivation, the improved growth rate in new plantations has not been considered.

102 How rapidly will new forests grow? Example: Spruce: Dr. Bo Karlsson, Skogforsk: ”Improved spruce plants already today give 15% better growth than naturally regenerated plants, but the potential is even higher. It should not be impossible to obtain up to 40% growth improvements.” Source: Skogsvårdsstyrelsens seminarium "Granen i fokus" i Borås, Tidningen Skogsvärden, Nr 4,

103 How rapidly will new forests grow? Example: Intensive plantations: - Treat forestry seriously! Start with intensive forest management! These are the words of Fredrik Klang, district manager at Sveaskog, Västra Götaland. He says that a production increase of 20 procent is easy to obtain if you really want to. With fertilization, the production could even increase by 150%. - Perhaps we can use 2-5% of the land for more intensive production. If 10% of the forest land is used for intensive production (that is the size of the area today set aside for environmental purposes), this would improve the national forest production by 15%. - This, in turn, would improve employment, the environment and the growth.

114 Observations In this derivation, a growth improvement of 19% in future forest generations has been assumed. (126/ = 19%). The maximum potential future growth, 40% or much more with intensive management, has not at all been utilized or assumed. Still, we should strongly increase harvesting during a long period. For instance, we may harvest 136 Miljon m3sk per year during 20 years. This period starts in five years. 25 years from now, we will have 2.6 billion cubic metres in the forest (which is the same as the stock level in 1985). Harvesting increases by 58%!!! The total economic value strongly improves. Industrial capacity of different kinds that utilize forest raw material should be very much expanded. The employment improves for a long time.

115 New observations The forest policy and regulations are not optimally chosen with respect to the economy of Sweden, employment and the environment. If we want to get the best possible forest sector and energy policy, coordinated activities of a new kind are necessary.

116 Eon investsts billions in Sverige | 07:41 The new director of E.ON Nordic, Håkan Buskhe, informs about large investments in Sweden during the next years. Between 2007 and 2013, the investment plans represent almost 50 billion SEK (=5 billion Euro) (Dagens Industri). – Between 2007 and 2010, we are talking about 37 billion SEK, Buskhe says. With the investments in nuclear power, where Eon partly owns all ten Swedish reactors, a CCP power station in Malmö, wind power and four bioenergy power stations, the new investments will give 8,5 terawatt hours. This roughly corresponds to the two nuclear reactors that have been shut down in Barsebäck.

117 General observations The harvest level in Sweden is absolutely not too high! Sweden would, in every way, benefit if the harvest level strongly increased during a long time period. We do not need the expensive roundwood import from Russia. We should not shut down the pulp mills. The unemployment in the Gävle region is quite unneccesary. The forest industry and the energy industry utilizing raw material from the forest should be strongly expanded.

118 Suggestions for the future We need a special commission with this task: ”Create a coordinated development plan for the forest-, energy- and car- industry sectors in Sweden that is rational with respect to total economics, employment and the environment.” The comission should report directly to the government, once a year, 2009 – 2011, and have a budget of 50 MSEK (5 M EURO). Organization: Peter Lohmander (Chair), The Forest Sector, The Energy Sector, The Car Industry and the Department of the Environment.

119 #07. Integrated regional study and risk management

120 The optimal joint management strategy of the forests, the energy plants and the forest industry mills will be determined in a region. Three coorporations are involved: E.ON Sweden, Holmen and Sveaskog.

121 Integrated regional study and risk management Preliminary map of the locations of the main energy plants (red filled circles) and forest industry mills (black filled squares) that will be included in the total optimization. Coorporations: E.ON Sweden, Holmen and Sveaskog.

122

123

124 Risk is an important property of the real world! Where do we have risk? Future market prices of energy and raw materials. The properties of the capital market. Future environental regulations. Technological options and future costs.

125 Consequences for optimal strategies: The management strategy must be optimal when we consider risk. Flexible strategies must be defined and optimized! Long term predictions and detailed long term plans are not relevant in a world influenced by risk. Adaptive optimization, stochastic dynamic programming and stochastic optimal control are the only relevant approaches.

127

128 Abstract Forest industry production, capacity and harvest levels are optimized. Adaptive full system optimization is necessary for consistent results. The stochastic dynamic programming problem of a complete forest industry company is solved. The raw material stock level and the main product prices are state variables. In each state and at each stage, a linear programming profit maximization problem of the forest company is solved. Parameters from the Swedish forest industry are used as illustration.

129 Question How should these activities in a typical forest industry company be optimized and coordinated in the presence of stochastic markets? *Pulp, paper and liner production and sales, *Sawn wood production and sales, *Raw material procurement and sales, *Harvest operations *Transport
