ISO will develop an International Standard (ISO 13065) to address sustainability issues linked to bioenergy. The decision to develop the standard responds to the growing international interest in bioenergy, and the current lack of globally harmonized sustainability criteria. We clearly need biomass as a source of renewable energy.

The world added 50% more renewable capacity in 2023 than in 2022 –and that means it has a real chance of achieving the goal set by governments at the COP28 climate change conference of tripling global capacity by 2030. The increases in renewable energy capacity in the US, Europe, and Brazil also hit all-time highs.
