Finalisation and conclusions. The SWOT analysis was divided into two parts: A SWOT on biomass provision and a SWOT on biomass conversion. Main findings regarding biomass provision The biomass provision was the more intensely discussed part of the SWOT analysis. This was mostly due to the fact that external stakeholders hat little knowledge about the specific success and failure factors of BIOCORE technologies, but a strong knowledge on agricul- ture, forestry or competing industries. Most important SWOT arguments regarding biomass provision for BIOCORE refineries in general, straw provision, forest wood provision and SRC wood provision are summarised in Table 5-6 to Table 5-10.

External factors Opportunities ▪ Higher energy- and resource security for EU ▪ Making farmers biorefinery sharehold- ers could facilitate cooperation and ru- ral development Threats ▪ Higher biomass prices affect other bio- mass users ▪ Indirect effects on land use patterns: Increased demand for cultivated bio- mass because of higher efficiency (c.f. the current situation of German biogas industry, which operates using maize si- lage) ▪ In case of biomass import: long transport and associated burdens, lower transparency regarding sustainability is- sues ▪ Small scale ownership structure put a hurdle on mobilisation Table 5-7 Summary: Most important SWOT arguments regarding straw provision Success factors Failure factors Internal Strengths Weaknesses factors ▪ Income opportunity for farmers ▪ Cheap biomass ▪ No direct competition for food ▪ No competition for land use ▪ Harvest only once a year ▪ Seasonal workers and new machinery needed because harvest is done during the busiest period for farmers ▪ Drain from conventional uses ▪ “Temptation” to extract unsustainably high rates if no mandatory environmen- tal s...
