Global Bioenergy Partnership - White Paper

Oct 2005

The objective of this White Paper is to discuss how the Global Bioenergy Partnership could contribute to the development and deployment of bioenergy in developed and developing countries, based on a review of the barriers facing bioenergy, existing international activities directed at bioenergy development and deployment, and the identification of areas of action where it is believed that the Partnership could add value.
The White Paper identifies fives areas where the Partnership could have an important role:
Supporting national and regional bioenergy policymaking;
Facilitating international cooperation in bioenergy;
Promoting development of bioenergy projects and markets;
Supporting biomass feedstock supply through information and research;
Encouraging development and transfer of biomass conversion technologies.
In each of these areas, the Partnership role could include activities such as:
Political engagement and promotion of bioenergy;
Integration and leverage of international activities;
Exchange of information, knowledge, skills and technologies;
Facilitation of bioenergy integration into energy markets e.g. through activities related to standards, certification, international trade, etc.;
Promotion of RD&D and market-building activities.
