The third Bioenergy Week was hosted by the Government of Indonesia in cooperation with the GBEP Secretariat and the support of the Governments of Brazil and Italy, as well as of the International Energy Agency, the Asian Development Bank and GIZ.

The event gave to the 120 participants from the Americas, Africa, Southeast Asia and Europe, the opportunity to learn from positive experiences in the sustainable production and use of bioenergy to guide the design and implementation of bioenergy policies in the interested countries. It also continued a dialogue with the Asian private sector and stakeholders on ways to improve mutual cooperation towards a more sustainable production and use of bioenergy.
