Bioenergy Working Group Plans Bioenergy Atlas

The Bioenergy Working Group—Brazil, Italy, Sweden, and new member Denmark—is taking steps to create a bioenergy atlas by expanding an existing database on bioenergy potential, considering both the potential for biofuels production and the potential use of biomass for electricity generation. The atlas will identify initiatives that can promote the development of new uses of biomass in sustainable and efficient ways in poor communities, exploring the potential for local production with low-cost technologies.
