Introduction to IRENA

• The only international RE

agency worldwide founded

in 2011. 169 parties with

132 member countries

• Sustainable deployment of

the six forms of renewable

energy resources

• Hub of information for

Renewable energy

IRENA activities on Bioenergy

• Biomass availability now and in the future (REmap 2030)

• Resource mapping for renewables- Bioenergy Global Atlas

• Bioenergy statistics

• Bioenergy costs – feedstock and conversion technologies

• Technology briefs

• Project Navigator

• Valorisation of biomass residues as an energy source (Valo-

BRES)

RESOURCE ASSESSMENT

Modern Biomass could have

significant share in 2030

BIOMASS BY SECTOR AND

REGION

Out of total global biomass supply(100-150 EJ), approximately 60% (93EJ) is

from residues and 30% (41EJ) is from Asia

COST ASSESSMENT

Feedstock cost could have significant

share in biomass power generation

Advanced biofuel could have

competitive supply cost with

fossil based fuel in 2020
