About the ‘National Bioenergy Strategy for Lebanon’
The ‘National Bioenergy Strategy for Lebanon’ aims to accurately evaluate the sustainable biomass potential in Lebanon and pair this potential with the appropriate conversion technologies. The strategy will play a significant part in reaching the government’s goal to meet 12% of Lebanon’s total energy needs through renewable energy resources by 2020.[1]
The report results showed that with a sustainable bioenergy approach, Lebanon can meet 38% of the national heating requirements by 2030. [2]
