The study focuses on assessing the utilization of bioenergy in developing countries, emphasizing how to improve bioenergy resources for sustainable economic and development. It highlights the importance of renewable energy sources and their impact on sustainable development, noting that renewable energy has lagged behind by 0.7%. The African continent is particularly lagging in both global energy supply and renewable energy sources, contributing only 6% to the latter. The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is proposed as a means to achieve net emission reduction and global temperature reduction of 1.5°C by 2030, contributing to sustainable development goals (SDG 7 and SDG 11). The study also assesses the availability and utilization of bioenergy, finding that it provides 10% of the world's energy and is available in every region as biomass. The research is intended to guide stakeholders, policymakers, and governments in formulating policies to promote effective bioenergy utilization and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in developing countries, to foster sustainable economic growth.The study focuses on assessing the utilization of bioenergy in developing countries, emphasizing how to improve bioenergy resources for sustainable economic and development.
