Synopsis (short abstract)

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.

Bioenergy Environmental Impact Analysis (BIAS) of Ethanol Production from Sugar Cane in Tanzania 2010

Also available in:

No results found.

This case study demonstrates strengths and weaknesses of the Bioenergy Environmental Impact Analysis framework (BIAS) in its draft form of 2009. The evaluation was conducted on the 21 000 ha bioethanol project of SEKAB near Bagamoyo, Tanzania. The study shows that the BIAS framework is a useful tool in guiding the analysis of biofuel projects. It also underlines evidence that substantial site-specific data are required to sufficiently evaluate impact on all environmental areas: biodiversity, w ater, soil and greenhouse gases (GHG), especially soil carbon. Specific indicator values for thresholds are missing, but may be of limited usefulness in specific cases, due to necessary adaptation to local conditions.

The Brazilian ethanol programme: impacts on world ethanol and sugar markets
FAO COMMODITY AND TRADE POLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPER No. 1
2003

Also available in:

No results found.

The sugar market in Brazil has a strong relationship with the ethanol market. The Brazilian government has now abolished all the sugar market intervention measures except for the control on the ethanol-gasoline blend ratio. In this study, implications of a change in blend ratio to the sugar markets, particularly in its production resource use is investigated by applying a newly developed Ethanol-sugar market projection model. The model simulation result shows a moderately sized impact on the wor ld ethanol and sugar markets.
