Sustainability of biogas and cassava-based ethanol value chains in Viet Nam: results and recommendations from the implementation of the Global Bioenergy Partnership indicators

The Global Bioenergy Partnership (GBEP) has produced a set of twenty-four indicators for the assessment and monitoring of bioenergy sustainability at the national level. The GBEP indicators are intended to inform policymakers about the environmental, social and economic sustainability aspects of the bioenergy sector in their country and guide them towards policies that foster sustainable development. FAO, which is among the founding members of GBEP, supported the implementation of the GBEP indicators in Viet Nam, with generous support from the International Climate Initiative (ICI) of the Federal Ministry of the Environment, Natural Resource, and Nuclear Safety of Germany. This report presents the main results of the implementation of the GBEP indicators in Viet Nam, where the following bioenergy pathways, which were deemed particularly relevant by national stakeholders, were analyzed: ethanol from cassava, and biogas at both household and industrial levels. In addition to offering interesting insights into the sustainability of the selected bioenergy pathways, the implementation of the GBEP indicators provided Viet Nam 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. Furthermore, it provided a few lessons learnt about how to apply the indicators as a tool for sustainable development and how to enhance their practicality. The work undertaken in the context of this project falls under FAO’s Strategic Objectives 2 and 4.
