Bioenergy by far the most important source of renewable heat.
Traditional use of biomass continues to dominate the production of heat. Modern uses of biomass for heating are increasing and are expected to rise from ca. 13 EJ today to around 15EJ by 2020.

World final renewable energy use for heat by source
Non‐OECD countries account for more than 90% of global bioenergy used for heat.
In Asia, China and India are the biggest consumers of bioenergy for heat in the buildings sector, however significant use of bioenergy in ASEAN countries in general (particularly for water heating).

Biofuels supply (adj. for energy content)As % of global road transport fuel demand
Biofuels production rose sharply between 2007 and 2011 before levelling off due to policy uncertainties in a number of key markets.
Today about 3.5% of road transport fuels comes from biofuels, and this is expected to rise to around 4% by 2020. Growth is particularly expected in a number of SE Asian countries which are aiming to improve energy security.

Bioenergy provides numerous examples of technologies which no longer require high levels of financial support, if resource and appropriate market and regulatory framework in place (affects system prices and financing)
So, the focus of policies should shift away from economic incentives towards creating the conditions by: Providing a long term stable policy framework that leads to a predictable market
Provide certainty of income through long term PPAs
Bioenergy has the potential to provide a growing contribution to energy needs and plays a very important role in low-carbon energy scenarios in each energy sector
To deliver this enhanced contribution will be challenging. A supportive, long-term policy framework which allows the next generation of plants to be built and operated is essential
Key issues that must be addressed include:
• Ways to reduce costs of the energy delivered so as to reduce the need for financial support
• The resolution of outstanding sustainability uncertainties
• The development of cost effective and sustainable supply chains
• The development of supportive policy and regulatory frameworks appropriate to the maturity of the technologies and markets
