Options for Dendro Power in Asia: Report on the Expert Consultation
Field Document No. 57, 2000
Dendropower is electricity generated from woodfuels. Modern technology allows for efficient, clean and sustainable use of wood for dendropower, as has been demonstrated in several
industrialised countries. In the early 1980's experiences with dendropower in Asia were disappointing for a variety of reasons. However, in the last 15 years a lot has changed which calls for a fresh look at the options for dendropower in Asia.
An expert consultation convened by RWEDP in Manila, Philippines, April 1998, reviewed and analyzed the options for dendropower. The experts in Manila discussed these options, and came up with a set of recommendations for the development of dendropower in Asia which are part of this document.
