GSEII

GSEII has helped islands to explore the utility of using indigenous bio-resources for energy use. Utilization of different types of biomass or waste products presents an interesting opportunity for business managers in Small Island Developing States, and as such GSEII and its partners are studying the development of biofuels and biomass-to-energy systems. Through a diverse array of projects ranging from coconut biofuels to a landfill gas to energy project, GSEII is able to capitalize on the abundance of biological by-products to create clean energy. GSEII has conducted several feasibility studies on these islands and has worked with local stakeholders to determine whether these bio-energy sources are practical or applicable for the various islands... The GSEII Consortium was formed in 2000 to accelerate the transition of up to 20 AOSIS member nations toward cleaner, more sustainable energy use. As of 2009, GSEII consortium programs are in 9 islands in the Caribbean, Pacific, and..
