To explore all possible options for sustainable bioenergy development in various regions, IRENA has conducted a series of studies focusing on different feedstocks, ranging from energy crops to agricultural residues. Each study provides fact-based solutions suited to different regional contexts, with sustainability being the primary consideration to ensure bioenergy development aligns with ecological functions and socio-economic goals.
This report provides a preliminary assessment of the bioenergy potential of six small island developing states (SIDS) in the Caribbean: Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and Guyana. These countries comprise about 94% of the region’s area and 93% of its population. The aim is to offer a nuanced understanding of bioenergy development possibilities tailored to specific regional contexts (especially in different continents) and also end-uses (e.g. biomass power and biojet fuels).
