What is Bioenergy?

• Traditional biomass: Burning harvested organic matter – biomass - provided most of mankind’s energy needs for millenia. Using such fuels is still the primary energy source for many people in developing and emerging economies, but such “traditional use” of biomass is often unsustainable, with inefficient combustion leading to harmful emissions with serious health implications.

• Modern technologies can convert this organic matter to solid, liquid and gaseous forms that can more efficiently replace fossil fuels.

• A wide range of biomass feedstocks can be used as sources of bioenergy:• wet organic wastes, such as sewage sludge, animal wastes and organic liquid

effluents, and the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (MSW); • residues from agro-industries, agriculture and forestry; • crops grown for energy, including food crops such as corn, wheat, sugar and • vegetable oils produced from palm, rape-seed and other raw materials; and

non-food crops such as perennial lignocellulosic plants (e.g. grasses such as miscanthus and trees such as short-rotation willow and eucalyptus) and oil-bearing plants (such as jatropha and camelina).

BIOENERGY CONTRIBUTING TO ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLE

DEVELOPMENT GOALS

Bioenergy and Sustainable Development

• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions (including in some instances where other opportunities are limited).

• Improve energy security through enhancing diversity of energy supply and reducing the exposure to fluctuating global energy markets.

• Provide economic opportunities including jobs and income for rural economies.

• Complement efforts to improve waste management and air and water quality.

• Help improve modern energy access for some of the 2.7 billion people who lack it (both for heating, cooking and electricity).
