The project has been commissioned by ENERCOAST whose overall aim is to create a market for bio energy in the North Sea area. The project uses Denmark, Central Den- mark Region, and three Danish municipalities (Randers, Norddjurs, and Syddjurs) to illustrate the challenges related to developing a more substantial market for bio energy trade. SSCM analysis A parallel study also commissioned by ENERCOAST and carried out by Ea Energy Analyses assessed the sustainability of relevant biomass supply chains related to the resource accessibility in the three municipalities. The primary focus was on biogas, straw, wood residues, and energy crops for combined heat and power production and the results were presented in a report released in July of 2010 entitled „SSCM Analysis of the Bioenergy Resources in Rand- ers, Norddjurs and Syddjurs‟ (Ea Energy Analyses, 2010). The data basis for both studies is very similar, and as such the current report incorporates and builds upon many of the SSCM reports findings. The present report describes the market structures and price developments of the aforementioned biomass resources. The market structures and trade condi- tions are described on a local (the 3 municipalities), national (Denmark) and regional/international (European/global) level. Biomass demand Political climate and energy goals constitute the major demand side drivers. With high European targets for the share of renewable resources in the energy production the demand for biomass is expected to increase dramatically to- wards 2020. However, the distribution of biomass fired production plants is not keeping pace with this target, which indicates that there are different barriers to be overcome before the utilisation of the various resources is optimal. Particu- larly local resources such as biogas and energy crops, and to certain extent straw, face challenges related to economy and technology. Concrete recom- mendations related to these barriers are discussed throughout the report. Local demand The three municipalities in focus currently utilise a significant amount of bio- mass, as on average over 30% of their gross energy consumption comes from biomass, a figure that is more than 3 times the national average. With this in mind, relative to today, the future local heat demand in the three municipalities is still expected to be met by an increasing share of district heating coming from biomass (particularly in Randers where Randers Kraftvarmeværk will con- tinue to replace coal with biomass). The establishment of new biogas plants within the municipalities would also lead to an increased demand for bioenergy. On the other hand, the municipalities have also set goals of reducing overall heat consumption, which may reduce the demand for bioenergy. National demand The use of biomass (and in particular wood pellets) is expected to increase over the coming years in Denmark. In its annual report on Danish energy trends from 2009 (DEA 2009), The Danish Energy Agency (DEA) reports that it expects renewable energy to grow over the coming years. A large part of this growth is due to an increase in the use of wood pellets. Figure 1: Danish increased use of renewable energy from 2009 to 2020 from the annual report on Danish energy trends from 2009 from the Danish Energy Agency. Biogas, energy crops (energiaf- grøder), solar (solenergi), wood (træ), wind (vindenergi), other (andet), heat load for heat pumps (omgivelsesvarme) , straw (halm), and garbage (affald).(DEA, 2009) The reason that the use of wood is expected to increase dramatically com- pared to the other resources is due to the fact that several of the central coal- fired power plants are expected to shift from coal to wood pellets within the period. The reason that the use of straw could be expected to decrease is that at least one of the central power plants is expected to replace their straw usage with wood chips or wood pellets. One very recent example of this is Dong En- ergy who in September of 2010 stated that starting in 2012 they intend to use 25% less straw, and replace it with wood pellets imported from Canada and the Baltic states (Ingeniøren, 2010). EU demand Relative to 2007 figures, for the EU to reach its 2020 renewable energy target of 20%, it will require an additional 10,600 PJ of renewable energy by 2020 (in gross consumption terms). In this report it is suggested that 60% of this could come from biomass and waste, equivalent to 6,300 PJ, or roughly 420 million tonnes of additional biomass. Combined with the 2007 EU consumption of biomass and waste of 4,000 PJ, an estimate for the annual gross energy from biomass and waste in 2020 is 10,300 PJ, roughly 690 million tonnes of bio- mass. 6 Biomass Market Analysis Resource availability In recent years a variety of studies aimed at quantifying the available biomass resources on a national, regional and global level have been carried out, and the results vary considerably. This is due to the different calculation methods and data, and the different types of resources, and resource inventories util- ised. There does however appear to be significant potential

Happily, Denmark’s contribution to the European Union is far more extensive and will, undoubtedly, be in the spotlight throughout the fi rst half of 2012! A modern state, where European and international sea routes converge, Denmark has frequently drawn on its talents and fl ourishing economy to make its own, distinctive mark.

Municipalities have the local knowledge that can ensure political anchoring and commitment from citizens and local businesses to the green transition of the energy system and the economy. In their capacity as local planning and land-use authority, as owner of supply and transport companies, and as a major consumer, the municipalities are in a unique position to facilitate change. A program with 3.3 mill. EUR was launched in 2014 to support municipal strategic energy planning, providing a 50% grant for the projects. Strengthening partnerships: Cost-effective transition to green growth: • Vertically – state, region, municipality • Mapping energy efficiency and renewable energy resources • Horizontally – across municipalities • Analysing energy futures and strategic choices • Locally – businesses, supply companies, municipality • Setting targets and action plans • Internally – municipal administrations • Demonstrating green solutions • Democratically – citizens and interest organisations In total, 14 partnership projects for strategic energy planning were initiated with each their unique partnership structure and with each their individual energy perspective. The support program aimed at demonstrating different types of partnerships and tackle different aspects of a cost-effective transition to green growth. The 14 projects include 6 regional projects (in the five Danish regions) and 8 projects involving a smaller number of municipalities.

We must retain our strong cycling culture and pass it on to our children so they can get the same pleasure of moving through traf- fic on a bicycle. Unfortunately, we cycle less today than we did previously. It is quite normal for Danes to get behind the wheel of the car, even for short trips. It is com- fortable and convenient in our busy daily lives. If we are to succeed in en- couraging more people to use their bicycles, therefore, we must make it more attractive and thus easier to cycle to work, school and on leisure trips. We can achieve this by, for example, creating better cycle paths, fewer stops, secure bicycle parking spaces and new cycling facilities. In the government, we are working for a green transition and we want to promote cycling, because cycling is an inexpensive, healthy and clean form of transport. The state has never before done as much in this regard as we are doing at present.

The C2CI-project is an Interreg IVB North Sea Region project with 22 partners from 6 countries around the North Sea. The project ran from January 2009 to summer 2012. The leading vision of the project was to see islands as innovative centres that implement Cradle-to- Cradle® solutions. The main goal was to develop innovative solutions in the field for energy, water and materials using Cradle-to-Cradle® (C2C) principles as a guide. The focus of this report is on demonstration projects using C2C principles as a guide that can Be implemented at Anholt School.
