This Decision-Making Tool for Bioenergy is meant for local and regional governments (or other practioners) that are interested in making use of bioenergy. It provides basic guidance on the most suitable technologies based on the desired use, product specification, and the feedstock available. It is meant as an introductory tool, providing an accessible overview of the various options for bioenergy.

By addressing these criteria, the tool enables LRGs and others to make informed decisions, optimize resource allocation, and choose bioenergy technologies that align with their environmental, economic, and social objectives.
