| Abstract | The availability of biomass is strongly in.uenced by seasonality, which
can a.ect the production of biofuels, biogas, and biobased products in
the downstream bioenergy supply chain. Rapeseed, maize silage, sugar
beet, wheat, and grassland are the most popular energy crops playing a
signi.cant role in the German bioenergy strategy and are intensively
discussed under the current situation of gas shortage. Most models in
the literature assume yearly time resolution for these energy crops,
which can negatively impact the accuracy of results. Therefore, in this
study, we employ the extended bioenergy optimization model (BENOPTex) in
order to explore the impact of seasonality on the optimal deployment of
biomass from energy crops on bioenergy production in the German heat,
power, and transport sectors, which typically show high dependency on
fossil fuels. First, we increase the model’s temporal resolution using
available datasets and documents. Next, the varying availability factors
are embedded in the optimization model. Finally, the outcomes of the
BENOPTex with the annual resolution are contrasted against the results
under the seasonality e.ect, while considering various objective
functions. The insights provided here might be interesting for
policymakers who design roadmaps for bioenergy development in a more
resilient energy supply. |
