el = annualized emissions from carbon stock changes caused by land-use change;
ep = emissions from processing;
etd = emissions from transport and distribution;
eu = emissions from the fuel in use;
esca = emission saving from soil carbon accumulation via improved agricult. management;
eccs = emission saving from carbon capture and geological storage;
eccr = emission saving from carbon capture and replacement; and
eee = emission saving from excess electricity from cogeneration.

Emissions from the manufacture of machinery and equipment shall not be taken into account

 Bioethanol from Sulfite Spent liquor commercial possible of about
0.6 €/lgasoline-eq., but amounts are limited 10,000 – 20,000 t/a
 Bioethanol from wood still precommercial, bioethanol costs about
1 €/lgasoline-eq, demonstration plant next step

 Introduction
Direct (dLUC) and indirect Land
  Use Change (iLUC)

Direct Land Use Change (dLUC):
If for cultivation of energy crops a direct land use change takes place,
e.g. from pasture agricultural land. Direct effects can be calculated, e.g.
change of carbon storage pools.

Indirect Land Use Change (iLUC):
if existing agricultural land is now used for energy crops, which was
used for other product before. The demand for these products remain
and additional land is used causing land use change on global scale,
e.g. conversion of natural forests into agricultural land. Indirect effects
can be calculated after localisation, which is difficult on global level.

 Higher biofuel blending necessary:
   introduction E10&B10 (or higher) or dedicated fleets with high blending

 Market introduction of biofuels from wood&straw
                                                                 Based on own estimations: October 2012
Conclusions
              Biofuels are reality in Austria and their
                   importance will further grow

             Further increase of biofuel production in
            Austria possible, mainly from wood&straw

         EU targets 2020: 10% renewable fuels transport
         sector + 6% reduction GHG intensity road fuels

      Austrian biofuels reduce greenhouse gas intensity of
                   road fuels already by 3.1%

       21 PJ biofuels are 6.3% of the 330 PJ Austrian road
                       transportation fuels

Austria has already 7.7% renewable fuels on the market: renewable
    electricity for rail transport and biofuels for road transport
