Table 12.7: Estimated 2010 Regional Energy Balance (incorporating targets)
Unit = TJ Coal Peat Oil N Gas Renewables Biomass Electricity Total
TFC 1,724 1,298 38,835 6,966 0 3,087 9,722 61,632
% 2.8 2.1 63.0 11.3 0 5.0 15.8
CO2 (Mt) 0.16 0.14 2.85 0.39 1.72 5.26
Note: Assume a 5% increase in TFC on 2005 levels and 5% of TFC to be supplied by biomass
Thus, the potential savings of CO2 emissions from the South-East Region by increasing the contribution by biomass to
5% of the TFC by 2010 is 0.21 million tonnes of CO2.

It is assumed that energy consumption in 2020 will increase by 10% on 2006 figures
The Bioenergy Implementation Plan for the South-East Region has identified the three areas of Heat, Electricity and
Transport Fuels for the deployment of bioenergy. Accordingly, targets have been set for the consumption of energy from
biomass in these sectors in order to achieve the overall target of 17% of TFC from bioenergy by 2020.
