WS Conclusions: Bioenergy Policy Development
• Realistic, stable and long-term policies to provide reliable business framework conditions for investors
• Policy development in close collaboration with all stakeholders
• Policies based on solid research base
11www.wip-munich.de GBEP/PANGEA Workshop, EUSEW, Brussels, 24 June 2013
• Focus on solid biomass (e.g. firewood, charcoal) as well as other modern forms of bioenergy in an integrated manner
• Clear Implementation Plans and Action Plans
• Incentives and support schemes, enabling infrastructure
• Combined food and bioenergy production
• Nexus between bioenergy production and poverty eradication
WS Conclusions: Ensuring Sustainability
• Bioenergy sustainability schemes for African countries need to be based on African reality and existing legislation
• Reliable and clear sustainability schemes to create an enabling business environment for investors
12www.wip-munich.de GBEP/PANGEA Workshop, EUSEW, Brussels, 24 June 2013
• Indicators developed by the Global Bioenergy Partnership (GBEP)can serve to develop successful bioenergy projects
• Address all forms of bioenergy, including solid biomass
• Bioenergy sustainability schemes adapted and simplyfied for application by smallholder farmers

Ref.: P. Lopez, GIZ
Results and Impacts
• 7,050 ha degraded grassland savanna afforested and valorized
– by 2,900 rural households
– exploited legally, sustainable and with improved kiln technic by 620 charcoal producers
17www.wip-munich.de GBEP/PANGEA Workshop, EUSEW, Brussels, 24 June 2013
kiln technic by 620 charcoal producers
– results in 800 ha exploitable plantation/year, for domestic energy needs of 30.000 (urban) persons
– Poverty reduction in rural areas: additional income of EUR 85/year for 3 ha (exploitable forest)
Ref.: P. Lopez, GIZ
Policy Forum – Conclusions 1
• No ”one size fits all”, successful projects need scale-up
• Bottom-up approach for policy development (based on existing projects), clear objectives
• Create local capacity in research and development
18www.wip-munich.de GBEP/PANGEA Workshop, EUSEW, Brussels, 24 June 2013
• Create enabling environment for investments
• Focus on full value chains, market solutions (e.g. clean cookstoves)
• Focus on crops known by farmers and use of residues
• Develop adapted technologies (transfer to smallholders)
• Rural development by improving agricultural productivity and yield efficiency (e.g. agroforestry systems)
Policy Forum – Conclusions 2
• Food security comes first
• Bioenergy solutions need to be tailored to specific framework conditions
19www.wip-munich.de GBEP/PANGEA Workshop, EUSEW, Brussels, 24 June 2013
• Sutainable bioenergy requires
– Land use management and agricultural zoning (landscape approach)
– Participatory involvement of stakeholders
• GBEP sustainability indicators can serve as guidance
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR ATTENTION!
