I. INTRODUCTION The objective of this study is to compare the estimated figures for 2011-2012 for wood biomass for

energy use from the EUwood study1 with actual data from the National Renewable Energy Action Plan

progress report 2013 (NREAPPR 2013) 2. The reader should be careful to differentiate between the

NREAP itself, which is a plan and the “progress reports” that report progress made towards achieving the

NREAP, based on reporting actual data. Simply stated, the NREAP is a target, the NREAP progress

reports are the measured achievements.

The EUwood study is a joint venture of the University of Hamburg, UNECE/FAO, European Forest

Institute (EFI), Dutch Institute for Forestry and Forest Products (Probos) and Finnish Forest Research

Institute (METLA) financed by the IEE programme of the European Commission. The study creates an

overview on supply and demand of wood resources in the European Union (EU27) and provides data for

2005 and 2007 as well as estimated data for 2010, 2020 and 2030.

The EUwood study presents data in the framework of the Wood Resource Balance developed at the

University of Hamburg, which is structured like a balance sheet (see Figure 1), with supply (wood from the

forest and outside the forest) listed on the left side of the balance sheet. The demand (raw material for the

wood processing industry and for energy) is stated on the right side of the balance sheet. The estimated

figures were developed on the basis of scenarios which are further described in the EUwood

methodology report.3 All figures of the EUwood study are provided in cubic meters m3.

The publication focuses exclusively on data of wood biomass for energy use, which is displayed on the

right side of the balance sheet of the EUwood study (Figure 1: red circle). The estimated figures provided

by the EUwood study for 2011 and 2012 were compared with the figures of wood biomass for energy use

provided by the National Renewable Energy Action Plan progress report 2013 (NREAPPR 2013). The

NREAPPR 2013 provided data for the reference years 2011 and 2012. NREAPPRs are submitted every

two years by each EU member State to the European Commission. Amongst other renewable energy

sources (i.e. solar, wind and hydro) the NREAPPR also provides information about wood biomass used

for energy generation.

In addition to the data from the NREAPPR 2013, data from the Joint Wood Energy Enquiry (JWEE)4,

Eurobserv’ER5, Eurostat6 and IEA7 was consulted for the data checking of the EUwood study.

II. DATA SOURCES AND METHODOLOGY The data comparison refers to the reference years 2011 and 2012. In the EUwood study the quantity of

raw materials used for energy generation is measured in cubic metres (m³).

The NREAPPR 2013 is the only source which provides data on wood biomass supply for energy use in

raw material (m³) and primary energy (toe). Data is presented in table 4 of the NREAPPR 2013. This table

distinguishes between domestic and imported, direct8 and indirect supply. The figures of all categories

were totaled for further comparison (for raw material m³ and primary energy toe).

In the NREAPPR 2013 some member States provided figures for raw materials using other units i.e.

tonnes or joules, which were converted into m3 by applying the conversion factors provided by the

EUwood study. In addition, some member States didn’t provide primary energy figures. When the

appropriate raw material figures were available, the missing primary energy figures were calculated by

using the appropriate factors from the EUwood study to convert them into primary energy figures.

Major adjustments had to be made with data from Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania,

Romania and Slovenia (see in chapter IV the detailed descriptions of the adjustments). These

adjustments enabled the construction of a uniform dataset of raw material and primary energy for all

countries. The dataset with the adjusted figures is named as “NREAPPR 2013 – recalculated” whereas

the original dataset is named as “NREAPPR 2013 – original”.

4 JWEE: The Joint Wood Energy Enquiry is a reporting tool of the UNECE/FAO Forestry and Timber Section which is unique in its approach of bringing together information on wood assortments (forestry statistics) by wood energy consuming sectors (energy statistics). 5 Eurobserv’ER: http://www.energies-renouvelables.org/observ-er/stat_baro/observ/baro219_en.pdf 6 Eurostat: http://appsso.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/nui/show.do?dataset=nrg_107a&lang=en 7 IEA: http://www.iea.org/Sankey/index.html 8 Wood biomass taken straight from forests and other wooded land for direct use as energy.

The Eurobserv’ER provides data on “primary energy production and inland consumption of solid biomass(mostly wood but also minor amounts of green or animal waste) in the European Union in 2011” andestimated figures for 2012. The provided figures are primary energy figures, which are measured in toe.

Eurostat provides domestic consumption of “solid biofuels (excluding charcoal)” in tonnes of oil equivalents (toe).

The JWEE provided raw material (m³) and primary energy (toe) figures of wood biomass used for energy

generation for the year 2011. Data from 19 member States of the UNECE region are available. Where

available, the provided figures of the JWEE were helpful to benchmark the data quality of the other

sources.

The IEA provides data of the final consumption of “Biofuels and waste”. It is not possible to separate

biofuels from waste data, so this source was excluded from this study.

Please find descriptive information about the data (raw material/primary energy) and units provided by all

sources in Table 1.

TABLE 1: SOURCES THAT PROVIDE RAW MATERIAL AND/OR PRIMARY ENERGY FIGURES

After extracting all figures from the sources mentioned above, data was compared to the figures provided

by the EUwood study. For comparison data was converted into m³ by using the conversion factors of the

EUwood study. For NREAPPR 2013 both raw material data as well as primary energy data (converted to

m³) were used for comparison (see Figure 2).

FIGURE 2: DATA CHECKINGD PROVIDED BY THE EUWOOD STUDY AND NREAPPR 2013

III. PRELIMINARY EVALUATION AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE DATASET A preliminary comparison of the raw material for 24 EU member States9 for the years 2011 and 2012

indicate that the EUwood volumes (m³) differ from the other sources as follows:

Raw material figures provided by NREAPPR 2013 were +7% in 2011 and +8% in 2012

Eurobserv’ER showed +2% in 2011 and +5% in 2012

Eurostat was +2% in 2011 and +5% in 2012

The primary energy figures (toe) provided by the NREAPPR 2013 were -7% in 2011 and

-5% in 2012. The disparity between higher raw material volumes (m³) and lower primary energy figures

(toe) in NREAPPR 2013 can partly be explained by the use of differing conversion factors; the average

conversion factor of all countries that provided both figures in NREAPPR 2013 (raw material volume in m³

and primary energy output in toe) is 0.199 toe/m3 (the EUwood factor is 0.21 toe/m3).

A more precise evaluation of the conversion factors used in the NREAPPR 2013 revealed that each

country uses its own set of conversion factors, at times with a significant deviation from the conversion

factor provided by the EUwood study and more importantly outside of the scope of variation within various

wood raw materials (Table 3). In general, it appears that there is much work to be done regarding the use

of conversion factors between solid volumetric units (m3) and tonnes of oil equivalent (toe), both at the

country level and within various sectors and reporting agencies within a country. Additionally, it has to be

acknowledged that energy content for a given volume of wood can vary substantially, as a result of

species composition, so it would be useful to gain more insights into the raw materials used to better

ascertain whether or not the factors used were appropriate.

The primary energy figures from NREAPPR 2013 measured in toe appeared more reliable than the raw

materials volumes for some countries. This appeared to be the case in Bulgaria, Latvia, Romania and

Sweden who had primary energy figures within the realm of what was expected but gave figures with

what appeared to be significantly elevated raw material volumes.

To align the data provided by the NREAPPR 2013 a ±15% allowable threshold for conversion factors from

toe to m3 was set. Conversion factors which were within the threshold, from 0.179 to 0.242 toe/m3, were

unchanged, while factors above or below the threshold were substituted by the conversion factor from the

EUwood study (0.21 toe/m3). When the conversion factor was substituted the raw material figure was

recalculated as well. For recalculation the primary energy figure was taken as a base value. This primary

energy figure was converted to raw material (m³) by using the conversion factor of the EUwood study

(0.21 toe/m3). The exceptions (where no adjustments were conducted although the conversion factors

were out of the mentioned threshold), were Austria, Estonia, Finland, France, Lithuania and Malta. These

countries are described further in chapter 4. The adjusted figures are named “NREAPPR 2013 –

recalculated”.

The overall growth rates in the NREAPPR 2013 (original and recalculated), Eurobserv’ER and Eurostat of

wood biomass supply for energy generation from 2011 to 2012 showed a growth of 5 to 7%. In

comparison, the estimated growth rate from the EUwood study showed only 3% (Table 2).

IV. DETAILED COMMENTS ON THE DATA PROVIDED BY THE MEMBER STATES

IN THEIR NATIONAL RENEWABLE ENERGY ACTION PLAN PROGRESS

REPORT 2013 A detailed overview of the data quality and availability provided through NREAPPR 2013 for all

member States is presented below. The data was benchmarked with other sources (EUwood, JWEE,

Eurobserv’ER and Eurostat) and the conversion factors were checked.

Figures presented in percentage (%) show the deviation of a figure from the original figure of the

NREAPPR 2013. Figures highlighted in red weren’t provided in the original sources but calculated by

the use of the EUwood’s conversion factor (0.21 toe/m³),

Germany, Luxemburg and Portugal did not provide an NREAPPR 2013 (at least in time for this

publication).

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE COMMITTEE ON FORESTS AND THE FOREST INDUSTRY

The Committee on Forests and the Forest Industry is a subsidiary body of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. It constitutes a forum for UNECE member states to consult with each other and work together on issues related to forestry, the forest industry and forest products. All countries in Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States, the United States, Canada and Israel are members of the UNECE and participate in its work.

Working towards achieving sustainable development, the Committee provides member states with the information and services they need for policy- and decision-making regarding their forest and forest industry sectors, including the trade and use of forest products and, when appropriate, formulates recommendations addressed to governments and interest-ed organizations. To this end, it makes the following commitments:

1. With the active participation of member states, to undertake short-, medium- and long-term analyses of developments in, and having an impact on, the forest sector, including those offering possibilities for the facilitation of international trade and for enhancing the protection of the environment.

2. In support of these analyses, to collect, store and disseminate statistics relating to the sector, and carry out activi-ties to improve their quality and comparability.

3. Provide the framework for cooperation e.g. by organizing seminars, workshops and ad hoc meetings and setting up ad hoc groups for the exchange of economic, environmental and technical information between governments and other institutions of member states for developing and implementing policies leading to the sustainable develop-ment of the forest sector and to the protection of the environment in their countries.

4. Carry out tasks identified as being of priority, including the facilitation of subregional cooperation and activities in support of the economies in transition of central and eastern Europe.

5. To keep under review its structure and priorities and cooperate with other international and intergovernmental or-ganizations active in the sector, and in particular with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and its European Forestry Commission, and with the International Labour Organization, to ensure complementarity and avoid duplication, thereby optimizing the use of resources.
