BIOENERGY AT THE INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY (IEA
The OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook annual report covers biofuel market and related policy developments. The 2022 Agricultural Outlook (projecting on the 2021-2031 period) is available at http://www.agri-outlook.org/, see ‘Biofuels’ chapter (OECD/FAO, 2022). TAD has created a detailed database of policies in the fertiliser and biofuel sectors of OECD countries and several Emerging Economies available at http://www.oecd.org/tad/agricultural-policies/support-policies-fertilisersbiofuels.htm. An analysis of these policies and their implications for agricultural markets and incomes has been published within the Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Paper series (von Lampe et al., 2014). A previous Trade and Environment Working Paper has focused on domestic incentive measures for renewable energy with possible trade implications (Bahar, Egeland and Steenblick, 2013). TAD participates in the Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS) project (www.amis-outlook.org). One of TAD’s contributions to AMIS is to report each month on newly implemented biofuel policies in the AMIS countries in the Market Monitor Report. The OECD and the IEA currently collaborate in an analysis of the costs and prospects associated to current and emerging biofuel supply pathways.

The Biofuture Initiative and Campaign organised six events at the Global Clean Energy Action Forum
During the GCEAF 2022 in Pittsburgh, Biofuture Initiative and Campaign organised following six events in the course of two days: • CEO-Ministerial round table on Bioenergy & biofuels • Side event on “Sustainable Aviation Fuels – Taking off across the globe” • Side event on “Counting Carbon – Better carbon accounting for better policy“ • Business Forum on Sustainable Aviation Fuel & Project Finance • Business Forum on Carbon Accounting & Project Finance. • Biofuture platform and MI bio-related missions joint meeting.
World Energy Outlook 2022
In October 2022, the IEA released the World Energy Outlook 2022. For the first time, fossil fuel demand peaks based on prevailing policies. Bioenergy continues as an essential energy source on the path to net zero. Modern bioenergy, including solid, liquid and gases, supplies 19% of global energy needs by 2022.
