This map identifies areas that in Tanzania could not be available for bioenergy activities due to diverse constraints. In particular it shows the land already under agriculture production, protected or environmentally sensitive areas, urban settlements and bare land that have been excluded from the BEFS land suitability assessment of Tanzania, in order to get a true understanding of which lands are available for bioenergy production in this country. Data sources: FAO Africover (1995-2002), UNEP-WCMC and IUCN, 2008. All BEFS results have been reported in the FAO publication "Bioenergy and Food Security - The BEFS Analysis for Tanzania" and the final products made available in this catalogue.

This dataset presents the result of the Bioenergy and Food Security (BEFS) analysis for Peru on land and agro-climatic suitability and availability for white pinon. In particular it reports the available area suitable for white pinon production at different levels of suitability, considering the conservation agriculture (CA) production system and low level of inputs. Land already under agriculture production or protected or environmentally sensitive has been excluded from the land suitability total area, in order to get a true understanding of which lands are available for bioenergy production in this country. Please note that the "Excluded areas" layers, used to identify areas that in Peru could not be available for bioenergy activities, are also available in this catalogue. You may find the link to them in the Distribution Information section of this metadata. The land suitability index categorizes the capability of a specific location to achieve the maximum attainable yield in percentage terms. The maximum attainable yield is defined as the harvested yield of a high-producing variety with “constraint-free” conditions (water, nutrients and pests and disease), which can be achieved under a specific production system and level of inputs. In Peru the analysis of Land Suitability Assessment (LSA) was held also for sugarcane and oil palm under two production systems, namely Tillage-based (TA) and Conservation agriculture (CA) and under low and high inputs. The two production systems and two input levels result in four agricultural configurations: 1 - Tillage-based at low inputs (TA-L) 2 - Tillage-based at high inputs (TA-H) 3 - Conservation agriculture at low inputs (CA-L) 4 - Conservation agriculture at high inputs (CA-H) Source data: MINAG, 2008.

This map shows the spatial distribution of biomass consumption for biofuel, calculated by province. It illustrates as the biomass demand is concentrated in the dry forests of the northwest region and in the neighboring provinces of Cuzco and Junin. In the southern highlands instead, less consumption of biomass is reported because is poor the biomass production in this area. The province with the highest consumption of biomass is Viru (La Libertad) with more than 500 000 tonnes per year followed by Chota (Cajamarca), Morropon (Piura) and Tarma (Junín), among others. On the other side, the province with lower demand for biomass is Huancayo (Junin) with 658 t per year, followed by Tarata (Tacna) with 719 tons of annual consumption. The consumption of firewood and charcoal in Huancayo is traditional but is decreasing by the presence in the market of liquefied petroleum gas. This situation is not reflected in this result because the information provided by the corresponding authorities did not reveal this consumption. All values in this map are considered residential and commercial demand, not industrial. No data consumption of firewood and charcoal were found in the latter sector. It is presumed that there are informal brickworks which use in their processes fuelwood and charcoal. It is known that many brickworks utilize gas, but the location and the consumption of these factories have not been identified. The coal and firewood that Peru imports are used by some industries (calcium carbide, cyanide, and activated carbon, steel). The total imported by the country is known but since the statistics do not provide information as to spatially locate its consumption, it has not been considered in analyzing the imported quantities.

The environmental and land use constraints identify areas that in Peru could not be available for bioenergy activities due to diverse reasons. They show the land already under agriculture production, protected or environmentally sensitive areas, urban settlements etc. that have been excluded from the BEFS land suitability assessment of Peru, in order to get a true understanding of which lands are available for bioenergy production in this country. In particular the following maps of constraints have been identified: 1) "Excluded areas" map, which includes not available areas due to restrictions by national legislation, like: i) water bodies and rivers (information extracted from IGN), lakes (extracted Map Forest-INRENA 2000); ii) forest concessions and chestnuts concessions (INRENA-concessions obtained by public-contest); iii) reservoir, mountains and village (taken from the Forest Map). 2) "Areas of environmental concern" map which includes areas where it is not possible to intervene by national law restrictions or different environmental protection mechanisms. It contains the following information: (i) protected forest (Map Forestal INRENA 2000); (Ii) protected areas for reforestation (Map Reforestation-INRENA 2000); (Iii) protected areas and areas complementary, native communities (National System of Protected Areas-SINANPE), (iv) territorial reserve (surface in favor of indigenous peoples living in isolation INRENA), (v) swamps, wetlands and mangroves (land cover map-INRENA 2000). 3) "Agricultural areas" map which identify areas with potential conflict between bioenergy and food production. The information in agricultural areas is taken from Forest-mining Category map crop farming- (Forest Map of INRENA 2000). All BEFS results have been reported in the FAO publication “Bioenergía y seguridad alimentaria - El análisis de BEFS para el Perú - Compendio técnico Vol I y II” and the final products made available in this catalogue.

This map shows as the provinces of Chiclayo (Lambayeque), Ascope (La Libertad) and Santa (Ancash) in the coastal region of Peru, produce the highest amount of waste from agricultural, agro-industrial and logging activities. They are also the provinces with the largest agricultural production in the country. However, one limitation to the use of agricultural residues is the existence of a rule prohibiting the transfer of this waste between provinces for health reasons, to prevent pests and diseases. This prohibition would impose in each province a plant processing mechanism before transferring the waste to energy plant production, with a consequent resulting in increased production costs. With regard to livestock, the possibilities for the use of manure energy purposes is limited to options for domestic consumption and, in a few cases, consumption for production processes on a small scale. In the forest region of Peru, the largest agricultural production areas correspond to areas of greatest deforestation. The traditional presence of sawmills in this region identifies forest residues as well. However the map shows sawmill residues also in those areas that are not covered by forests (see Moquegua and Tacna). This is because timber flows occur between regions all over the country, to allow the woodwork and meet local demand. Source data: - Dirección General Forestal de Faura Silvestre (DGFF). 2009.
