The purpose of the Global Bioenergy Partnership is to provide a mechanism for Partners to organize, coordinate and implement targeted international research, development, demonstration and commercial activities related to production, delivery, conversion and use of biomass for energy, with a focus on developing countries. GBEP provides also a forum to develop effective policy frameworks to: * suggest rules and tools to promote sustainable biomass and bioenergy development; * facilitate investments in bioenergy; * promote project development and implementation; * foster R&D and commercial bioenergy activities.

GBEP's main functions are to: 1. promote global high-level policy dialogue on bioenergy and facilitate international cooperation; 2. support national and regional bioenergy policy-making and market development; 3. favour efficient and sustainable uses of biomass and develop project activities in the bioenergy field; 4. foster exchange of information, skills and technologies through bilateral and multilateral collaboration; 5. facilitate bioenergy integration into energy markets by tackling specific barriers in the supply chain; 6. Act as a cross-cutting initiative, working in synergy with other relevant activities, avoiding duplications
