| GBEP presents GHG methodological framework at Copenhagen and meets with IRENA
The Global Bioenergy Partnership (GBEP) was present at the Copenhagen climate change conference with a side event to present its common methodological framework for reporting and comparing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from bioenergy. The event highlighted how bioenergy is leading the way in the application of life cycle analysis (LCA) for GHG emissions, a key step in the deployment of sustainable clean energy technologies.

The Major Economies Forum on Energy and Climate (MEF), representing the 17 largest economies, launched a Global Partnership at the COP 15 in Copenhagen to spur development and deployment of low-carbon technologies in response to the dangers of climate change. As an initial step, MEF countries have developed ten Technology Action Plans (TAPs), focused on areas such as advanced vehicles, carbon capture, energy efficiency, smart grids and renewable energy sources such as bioenergy. In all, these TAPs address roughly 80% of the energy-related global CO2 abatement potential identified by the International Energy Agency. Each of the TAPs contains potential actions for national leaders to consider, including the mitigation potential of the technology, barriers and best practice strategies to overcome them, and a menu of potential government actions to move towards best practice policies as appropriate to their respective national circumstances and priorities.
