IEA Bioenergy invites feedback on sustainability certification of biomass, biofuels, and bioenergy

IEA Bioenergy invites feedback as part of a global study on sustainability certification of bioenergy. The main goal of the study is to make recommendations for improving the effectiveness of governance and certification systems to benefit sustainable bioenergy deployment. IEA Bioenergy hopes to receive feedback from a broad audience impacted by the sustainability certification of biomass, biofuels, and bioenergy.

You are invited to provide feedback before Friday, June 15, 2012. A first analysis of the results will be distributed to participants in July.

The full study reports will become available in the second half of 2012 at the websites of the participating IEA Bioenergy Tasks:
• IEA Bioenergy
• IEA Bioenergy Task 40, Sustainable International Bioenergy Trade
• IEA Bioenergy Task 43, Biomass Feedstocks for Energy Markets
• IEA Bioenergy Task 38, Greenhouse Gas Balances of Biomass and Bioenergy Systems
