Background
IEA Bioenergy is an international, collaborative research programme on Bioenergy (www.ieabioenergy.com). The primary goal of IEA Bioenergy Task 38 (“Greenhouse Gas Balances of Biomass and Bioenergy Systems”) is to investigate all processes involved in the use of bioenergy and land-use systems, on a full fuel-cycle basis, with the aim of assessing overall greenhouse gas balances. Participating countries are Austria, Australia, Canada, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, United Kingdom, and the USA. This Task follows on from the previous IEA Bioenergy Task 25.
This workshop in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia, is the final Task 25 workshop and the first workshop of Task 38. It is part of a series of such events within the Task, taking place on a regular basis.
Scope Of The Workshop, Events
Excursion (Monday and Tuesday, March 26 and 27)
Workshop sessions
- Carbon accounting of forestry and land use
- Carbon accounting of wood products and biofuels
- Managed forests for wood products, carbon sequestration and/or bioenergy; their role in greenhouse gas policy (COP negotiations)
- Trading in carbon credits from bioenergy and carbon sequestration projects
- Task 25/38 Business session
Workshop Venue
The Workshop was held at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) Theatrette, Building 1
