Abstract
The global sustainable bioenergy (GSB) project was formed in 2009 with the goal of providing
guidance with respect to the feasibility and desirability of sustainable, bioenergy-intensive
futures. Stage 1 of this project held conventions with a largely common format on each of the
world’s continents, was completed in 2010, and is described in this paper. Attended by over
400 persons, the five continental conventions featured presentations, breakout sessions, and
drafting of resolutions that were unanimously passed by attendees. The resolutions highlight
the potential of bioenergy to make a large energy supply contribution while honouring other
priorities, acknowledge the breadth and complexity of bioenergy applications as well as the
need to take a systemic approach, and attest to substantial intra- and inter-continental diversity
with respect to needs, opportunities, constraints and current practice relevant to
bioenergy.
