Expanding Bioenergy Opportunities in Guyana

closed

The Office of the President of Guyana has requested that the Bank provide it with assistance to improve the capacity of the Government to better respond to project proposals related to non-traditional energy sources, with particular emphasis on bioenergy and to increase capacity within the Government in relation to bio-energy technology and research. The proposed TC addresses this request through complementary components that include (1) knowledge transfer; (2) design of a financial vehicle or instrument to develop viable investment opportunities; (3) dissemination of information related to the recommended financial vehicle or instrument and the identification of sources of funding for a pilot operation; and (4) capacity building and the transfer of technology.
