4. Biofuel and biomass issues
“Biofuels and bioliquids are instrumental in helping EU countries
meet their 10% renewables target in transport (RED, Directive
2009/28/EC).”
Indonesia Presidential Regulation No. 5 of 2006 on the National
Energy Policy

5. Forestry sector/Wood based bioenergy as solution:
• Applying sustainable forest management principles will enhance the health
and productivity of forests – more biomass available per unit area.
• As wood production in forests expands to meet growing demand for
traditional forest products such as lumber and pulp and paper, there are
significant opportunities to utilize process and manufacturing residues.
• Significant volumes of forest wood that currently have no industrial use (such
as wood of inferior quality and wood generated in natural disturbance events)
can be used for bioenergy.

6. Some policy options:
• Boost yields and promote multi-functional land uses, providing sufficient food and animal
feed for a growing population, as well as biomass for bioenergy and other valuable bio-
based products in the same area
• Better use of residues and waste from agriculture and forestry value chains. Examples
include incentives for sustainable use of residues, supported by guidelines to promote
appropriate residue extraction rates in different conditions.
• Use of degraded or marginal land is an option for biomass production that helps restore soil
productivity and avoids or mitigates competition for higher quality land (CIFOR research
underway – to be presented in the afternoon session).
• Evolve from single end-use orientation to integrated production systems that ensure high
resource use efficiency and reward sustainable production and use.
• Opportunities to produce bioenergy as a by-product rather than as an exclusive land use
choice
