Energy production from renewable energy sources is currently on the agenda in many United Nations Member States. This is partly driven by the Kyoto Protocol (1997) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which commits industrialized countries to limit or reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) to at least 5% below 1990 levels. Countries can achieve the reduction of CO emissions and contribute to sustainable development by using sustainable energies, in particular biomass, to replace fossil fuels. Moreover, this change is in line with the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), in particular Goal 7 “Ensure environmental stability”.
