Bioenergy Decision Support Tool (DST)

This tool provides step-wise guidance and a set of technical resources to assist decision makers in the process of developing a national bioenergy policy and strategy and/or assessing investment opportunities. It also provides step-wise guidance on the key issues that need to be addressed when considering tradeoffs, and processes that need to be undertaken to optimize opportunities and minimize risks. In addition, it provides technical resources and links to existing tools, guidelines, information, and resources that are relevant to each country’s critical risks and challenges. Additional guidance is given for the identification and inclusion of stakeholders in the bioenergy decision-making process and the adoption of transparent processes for good governance.
