6.3 SCALING UP BIOENERGY USE IN KEY APPLICATIONS: OPPORTUNITIES, BARRIERS AND POLICIES
Achieving the 1.5°C Scenario foresees a hefty scaleup for modern bioenergy by 2050 and requires a speedy acceleration in deployment by 2030, with a three-fold increase in use by then. This challenging goal requires urgent policy action to address the issues that are currently inhibiting more rapid progress. This section looks at the main opportunities and challenges to scale up bio-based feedstocks to the levels required in the 1.5°C Scenario, and policy actions needed to accelerate progress. It briefly discusses the generic barriers that impede the delivery of the higher biomass contribution foreseen in the 1.5°C Scenario, and the need for a portfolio of appropriate policy measures which can be used to overcome them. It then discusses the most important sector-specific challenges and highlights specific policies, which could be introduced so as to stimulate more rapid deployment.
Barriers to bioenergy deployment The most significant barriers to development vary according to end-use sector, the geographic location of biomass production and use and other factors. These can be classified under several generic headings, as highlighted in Figure 6.7.
