NEW Strategic Plan 2015 - 2020


www.ieabioenergy.com 11

OBJECTIVES OF STRATEGIC PLAN 2015 - 2020

• Objective 1 - promote market deployment

• Objective 2 - to raise public awareness through communication with key stakeholders

• Objective 3 - to strengthen the outreach efforts to involve interested:

• new member countries, • industry and • multilateral organisations

• Objective 4 - to increase the dissemination of information



NEW THEMES in 2015 - 2020

• Micro- and macro-algae as novel biomass resources

• Solar fuels (artificial photosynthesis)

• Biomass with carbon capture and sequestration

• Grid/system Integration



Strengthen Outreach

• Internal:• Technology development and deployment

through Tasks’ programmes and ExCo engagement

• Strategic projects to address and resolve cross-Tasks’ issues and broader topics

• New communication strategy• Use of Social Media (Linked In, Twitter)• Webinars • 1 Website as central point



Strengthen Outreach External through Collaboration;
