GBEP Toolkit

In light of GBEP’s commitment to raise awareness and facilitate sharing of information, a number of tools have been developed by GBEP with the aim at increasing the understanding of issues related to bioenergy development.

This section is intended to provide tools for the use of national governments, international and UN organizations, private sector, civil society stakeholders and project developers in the field of sustainable bioenergy development.

It contains two search facilities on:

  • Analytical tools to assess and unlock sustainable bioenergy potential
    The aim of this search tool is to help decision-makers to organize and synthesize the collected information for use in supporting their decisions related to sustainable bioenergy.
  • Financing options for bioenergy projects and programmes
    The aim of this tool is to facilitate access to financing for bioenergy for sustainable development at the project, programme and sectoral level in developing countries. It gives the opportunity to identify selection criteria and bioenergy project characteristics that should be fulfilled to receive these financing.

And a Clearing House on methodologies to calculate GHG emissions from bioenergy, whose aim is to contribute to the implementation of the GBEP common methodological framework for GHG lifecycle analysis, and to facilitate information exchange among GBEP members, other Governments and stakeholders.
