This report was developed under the collaborative agreement between the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), as part of the EBRD’s Sustainable Resource Initiative, and building on FAO’s Bioenergy and Food Security (BEFS) Approach. The Sustainable Resource Initiative falls under EBRD’s new Green Economy Transition strategy. The BEFS Approach is part of FAO’s Sustainable Bioenergy Support Package. The BEFS Approach and, within it, the BEFS Sustainable Biomass Assessment, are core elements of FAO’s decision support package on sustainable bioenergy. The assessment will form the basis for the bioenergy policy process, by identifying which bioenergy options may be feasible within a given country, based on the country context, as well as on its conditions and energy and agricultural requirements. The work was implemented in close collaboration with the Agriculture Research Centre (ARC), the New and Renewable Energy Authority (NREA), the Egyptian Environment Affairs Agency (EEAA) and the Ministry of Industry, with inputs from other national stakeholder and experts in the field of bioenergy, as listed in the acknowledgements section.
