Bioenergy BEST PRACTICE FOR ISSUING GREEN BONDS

The document provides a framework for bioenergy issuers to achieve Climate Bonds Certification, detailing the pre-issuance, issuance, and post-issuance steps. It specifies eligibility criteria for bioenergy projects, emphasizing GHG emission thresholds, indirect land use (iLUC) risk reduction, and adaptation and resilience plans. The guide highlights Brazil's bioenergy market, mentioning the RenovaBio Programme and the first certified programmatic issuer for corn ethanol, FS Bioenergia.

• The Climate Bonds Standard and Certification Scheme is a voluntary labelling system designed to align investments with the Paris Climate Agreement's goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius.
• Bioenergy eligibility is based on a feedstock-neutral approach, though it explicitly excludes wood (and all woody biomass), third generation biofuels (algae), and biodegradable municipal solid waste (MSW), including food waste and sewage sludge.
