The prospects and limitations for wood fibre bioenergy development in Indonesia

In this presentation, CIFOR scientist Ahmad Dermawan discusses Indonesia's plan for bioenergy development and the opportunities and challenges inherent in the recent interest in wood pellets from South Korea and China. In developing countries, he argues, the challenge is not (only) on technological issues or production of bioenergy, but also on social and governance issues. Ahmad gave this presentation as part of the 'Feedstock from wood and forestry and conversion technology' session at the second Annual World Congress of Bioenergy: Renewable Energy for Sustainability, held in Xi'an, China on 25-28 April 2012.
