3 Definition The term biomass refers to those organic materials which are not directly used as foods or other products. Mostly, this biomass is found in the form of residual stalks from crops, leaves, roots, seeds and seed shells etc. Through either biological or chemical processes, biomass can be converted into fuels, which can be used as a source of energy.

4 Background Large amounts of waste agricultural biomass available Contributes to environmental pollution if left to decay Untapped resource with large potential Benefits: - Renewable resource - No harmful emissions - Availability - No cost - GHG reductions - No conflict with food production Waste Agricultural Biomass to Energy Technology Options Basic Process Type of Examples of types of Technology waste handled Biochemical Fermentation Fruit and vegetable (anaerobic) market waste, waste from fruit/vegetable Biochemical (aerobic) Fermentation processing industries Sugar/starch containing wastes like waste palm trees Thermo-chemical Pyrolysis Crop residues such as wheat straw, rice straw, rice husk, coconut shell Thermo-chemical Gasification Crop residues such as wheat straw, rice straw, rice husk, coconut shell Thermo-chemical Physical Processing Direct Combustion Briquetting Crop residues such as wheat straw, rice straw, rice husk, coconut shell Waste saw dust, waste wood chips

5 Objectives Promoting enhanced utilization of waste agricultural biomass by: Raising awareness in developing countries; Building capacity on assessment of waste agricultural biomass; Promoting industrial and commercial use of waste agricultural biomass by demonstrating appropriate technologies; Assisting national and/or local governments to develop a policy packages and facilitate partnerships.

6 Approach Workshops/ Trainings - Awareness - Assessment of WAB - Identification of Technologies Demonstration projects Policy studies Oven fired by a rice husk gas burner.

7 Past activities Capacity building and pilot projects in Philippines, Pakistan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka Techno-economic feasibility study on waste palm oil trees in Malaysia (ongoing) Compendium of technologies Guidelines on assessment of WAB Regional workshop Training in Buttala, Sri Lanka.

8 Priority activities for and budget The following activities under WAB2E are being proposed for the biennium : Awareness-raising workshops on WAB in 4 countries Budget: 4 X 20,000 = 80,000 USD Training workshops on assessment of potential and availability of WAB on in 4 countries Budget: 4 X 25,000 = 100,000 USD Training workshops on selection of technologies in 4 countries Budget: 4 X 25,000 = 100,000 USD Technology Demonstration/pilot projects in 4 countries Budget: 4 X 100,000 = 400,000 USD Policy analysis and development of policy interventions in 4 countries Budget: 4 X 50,000 = 200,000 USD Regional dissemination workshop in 2 regions Budget: 2 X 50,000 = 100,000 USD Compilation of data and dissemination through the Information Platform Budget: 4 X 5,000 = 20,000 USD Grand Total USD 1,000,000 Secured Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) Japan USD 237,000 Unsecured USD 763,000

9 Selection criteria Availability of WAB and surplus WAB Demand expressed by local and national governments Active political support Formation of a local project team Local project team in Buttala, Sri Lanka.

10 Opportunities and linkages Cooperation with other working groups as needed and appropriate Waste Agricultural Biomass Waste and Climate Change ISWM Waste Minimization E-Waste Marine Litter

11 Evaluation Regular progress reports Monitoring according to UNEP s logical framework matrix. Example: Project title: Regional training workshop on WAB2E systems Overall objective: Enhance capacity of local/ national authorities on WAB to enable local/ national authorities to convert WAB into energy. Results Outputs Activities Intervention logic Waste agricultural biomass is underutilized in a lot of countries and has the potential of reducing dependency of fossil fuels for generation of energy. Objectively verifiable indicators Number of governments/ stakeholders willing to undertake actions for implementing WAB2E systems Means of verification Workshop feedback questionnaire Workshop report including feedback from participants 5-day regional training workshop Assumption Governments willing to nominate participants for participating in the workshop and undertaking followup actions

12 Resource Mobilization Extrabudgetary support Outreach to donors and local partners GPWM Advisory Board

13 Work Planning Process Communication and organization of work through Regular review of work plans
