| Abstract | Bioenergy represents the largest share of renewable energies in Germany and globally. In the German electricity sector, it provides energy in a predictable and flexible, as well as a market-oriented, way. In the areas of heat supply, as well as in the transport sector, there are no established sensible alternatives or supplements to bioenergy. A significant increase in global biomass production is considered unrealistic. The preservation of the producing ecosystems requires an orientation of bioenergy technologies towards sustainability requirements. The aim must therefore be to increase the efficiency of utilisation. There is great potential for optimisation in the comprehensive integration of bioenergy into the future energy system and in the emerging bioeconomy. Optimised cascade utilisation, the use of residual materials and the improved coupled production of material, and energetically usable products in one process are important guidelines for the further development of bioenergy technologies. In the bioeconomy, bioenergy plays the role of an integrated and emission-free provision of process energy. The achievement of negative emissions is also seen as a long-term development option. Prospects for the future are, however, naturally associated with a high degree of uncertainty. |
