The GBEP Task Force on GHG Methodologies, established under the leadership of the United States, is working to analyse the full well-to-wheel lifecycle of transport biofuels and solid biomass, and to develop a harmonized methodological framework for the use of policy makers and stakeholders when assessing GHG impacts by which the results of GHG lifecycle assessments could be compared on an equivalent and consistent basis.

The main deliverable of this Task Force, expected to be finalized by March 2009, will be a methodological framework for international and domestic policies to help assess the reduction of GHG emissions, contributing to climate change mitigation and energy security increase.
