The intent of the document is to provide background information and motivation regarding bioenergy’s role in promoting sustainable rural development. It discusses ways to support the implementation of bioenergy through policies, including those that can mobilize private sector activity. This report provides a broad review of the issues that a policymaker or project developer may face when endeavoring to advance biomass energy for sustainable development. The report provides guideance with respect to multiple dimensions of bioenergy project design and implementation for policymakers, entrepreneurs, and other actors. Its main focus is on less developed countries, although some lessons and methods from industrialized countries are included where appropriate. The report divides these issues among three volumes. Thus Volume I, the main report provides an overview of implementation issues for bioenergy projects and programs; Volume II provides technical information regarding biomass resources and technological options; and Volume III provides discussions of real-world bioenergy implementations through case studies and profiles.
