Abstract The energy sector is the biggest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. The need to decarbonize the energy sector leads to increasing investment in renewable energy sources. While variable renewable energy (VRE) such as wind and solar photovoltaics introduces fluctuations, depending on weather variability, bioenergy - with its inherent flexibility can mitigate the negative impacts of the intermittency on a netzero emissions energy system. Furthermore, biomass removes atmospheric carbon dioxide, assisting us to reach climate goals. This work presents the integration of stochasticity into the extended bioenergy optimization model (BENOPTex) to analyze the interplay between VRE and dispatchable bioenergy. The findings demonstrate that for large amounts of solar and wind energy, the overall system cost is at the minimum, whereas during shortages, flexible bioenergy can support meeting electricity demand but at a higher system cost.
