3
Objectives

• Developing a module for calculating the energy
  use of agriculture in all CAPRI-countries

4
Energy Consumption Calculation Method

• KEA (Cumulated energy consumption, MJ) Total of
  primary energetic input which is related to the
  production, utilisation, and disposal of a good
  (Federation of German Engineers, VDI 1995).

5
System Limitations
Energy demand for production activities in
CAPRI-countries
Energy demand for production and transport of
imported intermediate products
Energy demand for production and transport of
exported intermediate products
Total Energy demand

Energy Input for Crop and Animal Activities
Crop activities Animal activities
Direct energy input Fuel Lubricant Heating oil (green house) Fuel Lubricant Electricity Heating gas (chicken)
Indirect energy input Machines Fertilisers Pesticides Machine sheds Machines Housings Feed import Feed processing
7
Data Demand for Direct Energy Input (Example crop
activity)

• Fuel consumption
• Machine type and equipment for soil preparation,
  application of fertilisers and pesticides etc.
• Number of applications
• Average fuel consumption of machine type and work
  process
• Existent in Switzerland
• Machinery inventory
• Expertises
• Life cycle inventories of agricultural production
  systems www. ecoinvent.ch

8
Data Demand for Direct Energy Input (Example
animal activity)

• Electricity consumption
• Housing systems
• Production period per animal
• Electricity demand for housing systems
• ? Existent in Switzerland
• Expertises about housing systems
• Field investigations done for electricity demand
  of housing systems

9
Data Demand for Indirect Energy Input (Example
crop production)

• Use of Fertiliser
• Type of mineral fertiliser
• Energy input for the production of one kilo
  fertiliser
• Applied mineral fertiliser per crop activity
• Existent in Switzerland
• Life cycle inventories of agricultural production
  systems www. ecoinvent.ch

10
Data Demand for Indirect Energy Input (Example
crop activity)

• Annual machine energy input
• Weight and material of machines used
• Depreciation of total energy requirements over
  the years
• Energy input coefficients for the production and
  maintenance of the machines
• Existent in Switzerland
• Machinery inventory
• Life cycle inventories of agricultural production
  systems www. ecoinvent.ch

11
Scheduled Work Programme

• Defining typical production systems for
  CAPRI-countries
• Defining 5-10 typical crop production and housing
  systems per product group in the EU
• Attributing the typical systems to the production
  activities in the NUTS II regions.
• Teamwork with FAL Braunschweig and project
  TIPI-CAL?

12
Scheduled Work Programme

• Interface to existing CAPRI data base has to be
  defined
• Data collection for typical production systems
• Statistical records
• Expertises
• Environmental inventories

13
Scheduled Work Programme

1. Formulating a module for calculating energy use
   written in GAMS
2. Formulating a projection-module to forcast energy
   input data
3. Simulations and impact analysis

14
Timetable (1. year)

• Literature review (3 month)
• Conceptual phase (4)
• Working paper (7, d17)
• Defining typical production systems (4)
• Defining interface CAPRI (1)

15
Timetable

• Data collection (8)
• Formulating a module in GAMS (4)
• ?Validated Gams code (24 , d18)
• Formulating a projection module (5)
• Simulation runs, Scenario analysis (7)

16
Points of discussion

• Data collection which East European region to
  include?
• Level of detail of energy use?
• Different energy inputs or total input?
• Interface to existing CAPRI data base what do
  we know already?
