The Multilateral Bioenergy Working Group will accelerate the deployment of bioenergy technologies through two initial projects: a global bioenergy atlas and a long-term strategy for joint capacity building. For more information, visit the Multilateral Bioenergy Working Group fact sheet.
Partners within the Bioenergy Working Group are 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 for biomass in sustainable and efficient ways in poor communities, exploring the potential of local production with low-cost technologies. Denmark has recently joined Brazil, Italy, and Sweden in this initiative.
