The core focus of the Task 36 programme for 2025-2027 is on the effect that circular economy initiatives along the waste and energy value chains will have in the deployment of bioenergy globally.
The specific objectives for the proposed programme are:
- Provide science-based information that can be used for the development of the waste management systems in a circular economy: policy, technology, and socio-economic aspects.
- Exploring waste streams for opportunities for energy and material valorization.
- Evaluation of new technologies pathways for reducing climate impact in processes where waste is used as feedstock for energy production.
The work of the task is consistent with the overall IEA Bioenergy Strategic Plan and include ongoing initiatives to:
- Promote market deployment of technologies and systems for sustainable energy generation from biomass.
- Raise public awareness through communication with key stakeholders for the use of biomass as an energy source and to provide clear and verified information on bioenergy.
- Strengthen the outreach efforts to the Implementing Agreement to involve interested new country members, industry and multilateral organizations.
- To increase dissemination and information.
