The GBEP Task Force on GHG Methodologies was established in October 2007 under the joint leadership of the United States and the UN Foundation to develop a common methodological framework for the use of policy makers and stakeholders when assessing GHG emissions associated with bioenergy and to make GHG lifecycle analyses more transparent.

In June 2009, the Task Force published “Version Zero” of the GBEP Common Methodological Framework for GHG Lifecycle Analysis of Bioenergy for initial dissemination and testing. Users’ feedback will allow GBEP Task Force experts to improve and refine the framework which may become a useful tool for domestic measurement and reporting. “Version One” of the framework is expected by spring 2011.
