Climate Bonds Initiative launches revised bioenergy criteria
In the UK, the Climate Bonds Initiative announces the launch of its revised Bioenergy Criteria, expanding the scope of eligible bioenergy activities to include electricity while addressing key socio-economic and environmental impacts from biodiversity, to growing energy demand, water use and food security. The updated framework provides investors, industry and policymakers with a science-based tool to scale sustainable investment across the bioenergy sector. The revised Criteria also move from a feedstock-agnostic approach to a more defined feedstock eligibility framework, reinforcing sustainability safeguards across biomass sourcing. The revised Criteria also provide guidance and best practices to address and reduce methane emissions in the biogas and biomethane value chain.
