Task 38 – Greenhouse Gas Balances of Biomass and Bioenergy Systems<\/b><\/p>\n The workshop brought together researchers with expertise in quantifying the climate change mitigation value of bioenergy and reforestation, and experts on including time in LCA and carbon footprinting. Latest research on these topics were presented and discussed. 25 experts from all over the world participated. Papers are under development.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Welcome \u2013 Annette Cowie, Rural Climate Solutions, Australia, IEA Bioenergy Task38 Co-Task Leader Meeting objectives – Neil Bird, JOANNEUM Research, Austria Bioenergy carbon accounting: a literature review – Alessandro Agostini, EC, Joint Research Centre\u00a0\u2013 Dealing with time in LCA and carbon footprinting \u2013 current approaches, focus on bioenergy \u2013 A summary of modeling requirements to assess the climate change impacts of bioenergy systems \u2013\u00a0 Risk charges, uncertainty and effect on dealing with time issues \u2013 Baseline time accounting: Considering global land use dynamics when estimating the climate impact of indirect land use change caused by biofuels \u2013 Time-dependence of bioenergy emission intensities and strategies to reduce pay-back times\u00a0\u2013 The time aspect of bioenergy – Climate impacts of bioenergy due to how fast combustion related emissions are compensated by uptake of atmospheric CO2 \u2013 Climate impacts of bioenergy: issues of scale \u2013\u00a0 Land use in life cycle assessment of greenhouse gas emissions \u2013\u00a0 Timing of Emission Reduction through Forest-based Bioenergy Substituting for Fossil Energy \u2013 Tools for GHG Emissions Timing Characterization and Life Cycle Inventory Needs \u2013\u00a0 Bioenergy in the Dutch energy system, now and in the future \u2013 <\/p>\n
\nObjectives of the working meeting<\/strong><\/h1>\n
\nIn the second phase of the meeting the participants broke into two groups to discuss and prepare draft papers\u00a0 of two sub-themes related to timing of emissions from bioenergy in LCA and GHG accounting. These sub-themes are:<\/p>\n\n
