Would you like to carry out sustainable biomass projects in a developing (ODA) country, as an entrepreneur, non-governmental organisation, knowledge institution or local authority? Then you might be eligible for subsidy from the Global Sustainable Biomass Fund.

In 2 months the Dutch funding organisation SenterNovem will launch the second call for proposals for the Global Sustainable Biomass Fund (GSBF). This fund is focussed on the sustainability of biomass in developing countries.

GSBF currently focuses on Indonesia, Vietnam, Colombia, Nicaragua, Mali, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Mozambique and South-Africa but also other ODA-countries (emerging and developing countries) are eligible. The Global Sustainable Biomass Fund is focused on practical research, capacity building and knowledge dissemination for:

1. Improving the sustainability of the biomass/biomass chain
2. Certification of the sustainable biomass chain
3. Counteracting undesired indirect effects of biomass production and monitoring of macro effects of biomass production

Investments in pilots (plantations, equipment, etc) are possible as well. The maximum grant percentages are 50% for private companies and 75% for non profit organizations. For further background information, download the dicument pack below.
