Outline
Opportunities and Challenges of biofuel Agriculture, Biomass and Climate Change ADB program and invitation for stakeholder participation
Challenges
Higher food price Disproportionate share of benefits Expansion of cropland onto sensitive areas Increased use of agrochemicals Soil degradation Overstress water supply Loss of biodiversity Introduction of GMO
Large-scale Plantation
Food Insecurity
40% of arable land has deteriorated Water shortage Climate change is affecting food security
Food or Fuel?
Win-Win Strategy?
Intercropping with Jathropa will improve crop yields and socio-economic conditions of the rural poor with increased incomes

2011 : Regional Capacity Building Technical Assistance (R-CDTA) to pilot scale up investment programs ($4.6 mil-financed by NDF 2012: Pipeline project preparatory technical assistant($1.5 mil-finance by Japan Asia Clean Energy Fund) 2013: Pipeline Regional investment project ($80 mil-ADB and others)
Proposed R-CDTA on Efficient Utilization of Biomass for Climate-friendly Bioenergy and Food Security Project
Proposed R-CDTA
Size: $4.6 million
Expected to be implemented
between July 2011-Dec 2014 NGOs and Center of Excellences
Three Pathways
Converting agricultural and forestry residues to energy and organic fertilizers, including biochar; Production of liquid biofuels from crops grown in small-scale integrated farming systems and provide market access to certified seeds; and
Use of improved cook stoves to reduce fuel demand and reduce black carbon emissions
Output 1
Enhanced regional cooperation in bioenergy development to foster and safeguard food security
Output 2
Pilot-tested climate-friendly biomass investment projects for wider implementation
Output 3
Enhanced capacity for efficient use of biomass
Output 4
Development and dissemination of knowledge products
