National roadmaps and regional co-operation are vital to unleash sector's enormous potential, ASEAN experts say
Bioenergy technologies can transform rural development across Southeast Asia, helping to extend modern electricity and other energy services to deprived areas, as well as reduce carbon emissions and lessen the impact of climate change. But for the region to fulfil its bioenergy potential, countries must address a complex array of policy, technical, institutional and financial challenges, said experts at a workshop in Bangkok on 23-24 July 2014.
The workshop was the second in a series of events feeding into the upcoming IEA publication How2Guide for Bioenergy – a manual for policy and decision makers to develop and implement of bioenergy technology roadmaps tailored to existing national frameworks, resources and capacities.
