The World Bioenergy Association, an organization for the fast growing bioenergy sector, was launched during the World Bioenergy 2008 conference in Jönköping, Sweden.

The new organization’s focus is to be a global voice for bioenergy and promote the use of bioenergy in a sustainable and economically efficient way. The World Bioenergy Association will help develop certification systems to document that fuels are produced in an environmentally sustainable way, and under acceptable working and social conditions.

The organization will represent national and regional bioenergy associations, as well as associated commercial enterprises in the bioenergy field.
