The goal of the workshop is to further the dialogue around the expanded use of ethanol as member economies seek to improve energy access and to meet APEC’s ambitious 2030 goals of doubling the share of renewables in their energy mix. This workshop builds off previous work completed by the Energy Working Group in developing a roadmap for best practices in developing an ethanol industry in member economies, and individual economy case studies of challenges and opportunities of developing ethanol policies.
This workshop will foster collaboration across relevant APEC ministry officials and industry representatives to consider and share the benefits and opportunities ethanol holds for achieving energy access for APEC member economies.
