We hope this email finds you well.
Although physical meetings have been postponed and we are working from home, the activities of the GBEP Secretariat continue, and we are very happy to give some updates on the recent developments under the AG7 on Biogas.
AG7 Stocktaking Report
The AG7 Stocktaking Report has been finalised – see attached - with the regional analysis in Asia. This paper is based on the work of the GBEP Secretariat along with GBEP Partners and Observers during the GBEP Bioenergy Weeks (Ghana in 2017, Argentina in 2018 and Philippines in 2019). It analyses the factors that contribute to the success of biogas operations or projects in different regions of the world using SWOT analysis. It is to be used as a preliminary background document to guide the focus of the AG7.
AG7 Webinar - Biochar systems for sustainable agriculture

The AG7 is continuing its webinar series on 7 May 2020 with a webinar on biochar systems. As well as providing a general introduction to biochar systems and their benefits, the webinar will explore the potential synergies between biochar and biogas systems, and the possibility to contribute to landscape restoration. The webinar will be presented by Prof. David Chiaramonti (Polytechnic University of Turin). An overview and agenda of the webinar is attached. Please register your attendance, providing your name and affiliation. This is an open webinar and you are encouraged to extend the invitation to your networks.
Have a great week.
