Book (stand-alone)Pilot Testing of GBEP Sustainability Indicators for Bioenergy in Colombia 2014
Also available in:
No results found.The Global Bioenergy Partnership (GBEP) has produced a set of twenty-four indicators for the assessment and monitoring of bioenergy sustainability at the national level. The GBEP indicators are intended to inform policymakers about the environmental, social and economic sustainability aspects of the bioenergy sector in their country and guide them towards policies that foster sustainable development. FAO, which is among the founding members of the Global Bioenergy Partnership, tested the indicat ors in Colombia and Indonesia, with generous support from the International Climate Initiative (ICI) of the Federal Ministry of the Environment, Natural Resource, and Nuclear Safety of Germany. This report presents the results of the testing of the GBEP indicators in Colombia. The testing provided Colombia with an understanding of how to establish the means of a longterm, periodic monitoring of its domestic bioenergy sector based on the GBEP indicators. Such periodic monitoring would enhance t he knowledge and understanding of this sector and more generally of the way in which the contribution of the agricultural and energy sectors to national sustainable development could be evaluated. The testing in Colombia also provided a few lessons learnt about how to apply the indicators as a tool for sustainable development and how to enhance their practicality. -

Book (series)Sostenibilidad de la biomasa forestal para energía y del etanol de maíz y caña de azucar en Paraguay - Sustainability of forest biomass for energy and of ethanol from maize and sugarcane in Paraguay
Resultados y recomendaciones de la implementación de los indicadores de la Asociación Global para la Bioenergía - Results and recommendations from the implementation of the Global Bioenergy Partnership indicators

No results found.Este informe presenta los resultados de la aplicación de los indicadores de la GBEP a los dos procesos bioenergéticos prioritarios identificados en Paraguay : biomasa forestal para energía y etanol de maíz y caña de azúcar. El proyecto proporcionó a Paraguay una comprensión de como establecer los medios de un monitoreo periódico a largo plazo del sector de la bioenergía nacional basado en los indicadores de la GBEP. Dicho monitoreo periódico mejoraría el conocimiento y la comprensión de este sector y, en terminos más generales, la forma en que podría evaluarse la contribución de los sectores agrícola y energético al desarrollo sostenible nacional. La implementación de los indicadores GBEP en Paraguay proporcionó, además, una serie de lecciones aprendidas sobre cómo aplicarlas como una herramienta para el desarrollo sostenible y cómo mejorar su practicidad.
This report presents the results of the implementation of the GBEP indicators in Paraguay, where the project was executed under the leadership of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAG). The application of the GBEP Sustainability Indicators for Bioenergy to the two priority bioenergy pathways identified in Paraguay – forest biomass for energy, at both household and industrial levels, and ethanol from maize and sugarcane - was entrusted to a team of experts from three leading national Centers of excellence: The Asociación de Docentes Investigadores de la Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias de la UNA (ADIFCA), which took the lead on the environmental indicators; the Centro de Estudios Ambientales y Sociales (CEAMSO), which had the primary responsibility over the social indicators; and the Universidad Católica Nuestra Señora de la Asunción (UCA), which led the measurement of the economic indicators. The project provided Paraguay with an understanding of how to establish the means of a long-term, periodic monitoring of its domestic bioenergy sector based on the GBEP indicators. Such periodic monitoring would enhance the knowledge and understanding of this sector and more generally of the way in which the contribution of the agricultural and energy sectors to national sustainable development could be evaluated.
