Basic Challenges of Today´s Energy System
Limited oil and gas resources
Increasing import dependency
Energy prices and volatility Climate change and other environmental risks
(security of energy supply, up to 2 million of the world population has no access to electricity, gas, oil or clean water.) (With "business as usual" the EU's of gas import dependency is expected to increase from 57% to 84% by 2030, of oil from 82% to 93%.
Energy accounts for 80% of all greenhouse gas (GHG) emission in the EU, climate change and most air pollution.
Geo-strategic tensions caused by scare energy resources El Bassam, IFEED 2012
Magnitudes of investing in renewable energy
To meet the local increasing demand for energy. To create new job options with long term employment opportunities. To support new industrial development. To catapult countries into global leaders in science and technology development.

Biomass and Bioenergy
Only 0.4% of the global biomass is being used for food commodities Food production exceeds 140%) of the needs of the world population. 50% of processed food is being wasted. Biomass is storable and convertible to fuels, heat and power. El Bassam, IFEED 2012
500.000 plant species are existing on our planet, some of them can be used for food and fuels i.e. Miscanthus
