The WBP (woody biomass power) project called for building and operating a commercial-scale BIG/GT (biomass-gasifier/gas turbine) power plant in Northeast Brazil using plantation-grown wood as fuel.

The project is aimed at reducing the long-term growth of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through the removal of barriers to commercial utilization of new and renewable energy (NRE) power systems as replacement to diesel generators in Palawan.

The project will help develop social services that are less dependent on non-renewable resources for its energy needs, freeing financial resources for their core activities and giving a significant contribution to the conservation of the natural environment and better rural livelihoods.

The Enabling Activity has assisted Belize in preparing its First National Communication to the Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.The activity raised public awareness about the possible impacts of climate change on the country.
