& 2030

4. Aim of the work for future policy
Identify the required policy framework to assist Member State(s) get closer to their 2020 targets.
Define the costs, benefits and necessary conditions to apply cooperation mechanisms that can help Member States harness their bioenergy resources cost-effectively
Identify synergies and conflicts related to bioenergy targets and the resource efficiency concept in the medium to long term and

5. Task 4.1: Policy frameworks The work will perform “bottom up” policy analysis and build a framework for integrated policy setting
Policy aim & Justification
Analysis & Direction setting
Policy framework design
Baseline
WP3- D3.1 Map of “current’ policy landscapes
WP5- First round of national workshops
WP2- D2.4 Value chains in MS (at least 3 per participating country)
Key issues under analysis
Selection of indigenous biomass (sustainability- resource efficiency- competition)
Selection of efficient pathways/ value chains
Stakeholders: network formation- involvement- input/ output
EU28
Policy integration
Indigenous supply oriented strategy
Prioritize- focus- target setting/ benchmarking with demand policies
11 Member States
Indigenous supply
Smart policy for resource efficiency

6. Framework building process
Resources
Modelling

7. Issues addressed at national level
Sector 2020 targets as in NREAP (2010) & expected deficits according to baseline scenario.
Type of feedstocks & current deployment value chains
Policy mechanisms & financial incentives in place
Budget (if available) & number of installations
Policy/ financial frameworks that can facilitate the fulfilment of targets & mobilisation of indigenous potentials estimated in WP2
Cost benefit and estimated carbon reductions

8. Question 3:Policy priorities
The following issues have been identified within the project as key principles for future biomass policy and support frameworks (please rank them and explain how is your top priority choice relevant in your context)
Resource efficiency in indigenous biomass supply
Costs/ prices to industry/ consumers/ government
Potential to reduce GHG
Displacement effects (land & water use, biodiversity, ecosystem services, food prices, etc.)
Energy security
Job creation
Technology development towards long-term solutions
Other (please add)
Questions:
Should indigenous biomass resources be prioritised or should biomass policy be homogeneous with imports from other continents?
What would be an acceptable level of cost increase and who should cover it (industry, policy, joint actions, etc.)?
Which priorities are most relevant to be integrated across the different policy fields in a future resource efficient biomass strategy?
