Abstract
The analysis within the BEFS Rapid Appraisal defines the country context, estimates the biomass available for bioenergy production and ties this amount to specific bioenergy supply chains. Available biomass originating from agriculture is calculated net of current and foreseen uses and needs, thus accounting for food security. The bioenergy production potential is evaluated by quantifying the feedstock available, identifying income and employment opportunities, and energy access options. We present an application of the BEFS Rapid Appraisal for rural electrification options in Malawi.
