  1. Global Network on Energy for Sustainable Development (GNESD)Contribution of Bioenergy for Rural Development and Poverty Alleviation General Coordination: Cenbio/CentroClima – Brazil Prof. Suani Coelho Cenbio / University of São Paulo Cape Town, South Africa, May 27th 2009

  3. GNESD Bioenergy Theme - Motivation • Modern bioenergy – sustainable production • Three main issues: • Biomass for electric generation  supply remote villages • Using agricultural residues • Using vegetable oils • Using biogas (both urban and rural residues) • Benefits: improvement of energy access, job creation (mainly in rural areas) • Biomass for liquid biofuels • Using locally produced bioenergy crops and biofuels • Eventually to export biofuels • Benefits: job creation (mainly in rural areas), replacement of import oil/oil products, revenues (from eventual biofuel export) • Energy and climate change - Perspectives for Clean Development Mechanisms (CDM) – Kyoto Protocol

  8. Environmental Benefits from Biofuels • To reduce local, regional and global environmental impacts; • Ethanol is the only renewable source which can be used in transportation sector.

  9. Strategic Benefits from Biofuels • Largest share of the world’s oil resources: concentrated in regions with potential political or economic instabilities. • High costs of maintaining energy security • Biofuels: Increasing diversification of energy matrix • Biofuels: reducing reliance on fossil fuel and thus energy security Oil flows throughout the world.

  10. GNESD Bioenergy Theme • Objectives: • to carry out an initial assessment of the potentials of bioenergy for rural development for all types of bioenergy i.e. liquid, solid and gas. • to study all forms of bioenergy to specifically examine the roles they can play in rural development and poverty alleviation. • The study is being developed in two phases: • Inception phase • Thematic phase

  11. Inception Phase (by March 2009) • Objective: • to identify bioenergy forms used in the different developing countries covered by GNESD. • to provide key elements for the full thematic study • current situation of biomass • biomass policies in each country • perspectives for the implementation of bioenergy programs.

  12. Inception PhaseTable of Contents • Executive summary •  Introduction •  Literature review on bioenergy in the region: • Current production of biomass for energy • Other relevant information (informed by each Centre) • Review of the current bioenergy programmes/policies in the country/region, including (liquid) biofuels programmes • Description of the bioenergy forms and the methodology to be used (3 to 4 forms per centre) • Identification of case studies to be carried out in detail in the second phase with justifications for each country. Ideally there should be case studies for each form of bioenergy being studied. • Conclusions of the inception phase

  13. Main Outcomes of Inception Phase (I)

  14. Main Outcomes of Inception Phase (II)

  15. Thematic Phase (2nd Phase) • Objectives: • to review the existing bioenergy policies in the sub-region • to identify the barriers and assess good and bad practices through detailed case studies from each sub-region • to formulate recommendations for policy decisions toward rural development and poverty alleviation. • The potentials of each type of bioenergy will be identified from economic, social and environmental perspectives. • Deadline: September 2009.

  16. Proposed Outline for Thematic Phase(To be discussed) • Country / region presentation overview • geographic, climate and economic conditions, population, infrastructure, etc • energy consumption – fossil  / RE – current and future • Bioenergy in the region • current use (type, amount, end use, costs, other issues?) • Sustainability aspects of each type of bioenergy • economic • environmental • social issues • certification issues – additional costs, capacity building, perspectives for developing countries, existing difficulties for implementation. • suggestion for discussion: study from UNCTAD (2008) – “Making Certification Work for Sustainable • Development: The Case of Biofuels” • Study cases for each country/region • Existing barriers • Policy recommendations for the country/region • Conclusions
