This document summarizes a presentation on sustainable tree-based bioenergy in sub-Saharan Africa. It notes that 80% of energy in Africa comes from fuelwood and charcoal currently. There is significant potential for tree-based bioenergy to provide renewable energy through improved cooking technologies, biomass gasification for electricity, and biofuels. However, knowledge gaps remain around sustainable production levels and models, as well as effects on climate change. Policy reforms are needed to support tree-based energy and develop markets for wood for energy. Partnerships and global platforms could help promote renewable tree-based energy solutions.
