BioPower is young but consolidates remarkable achievements developed in recent years:

• Sweet sorghum hybrid varieties that yield bioethanol on a fraction of the water used for sugarcane while also yielding ample food and feed;
   

• Biodiesel tree-crop multiplication and cultivation techniques, and selection for higher biodiesel yield
   

• Integration of fuelwood trees into farming systems, reducing womens’ labor for wood collection while increasing crop yields, removing atmospheric carbon and rehabilitating impoverished soils
   

• Exploratory research assessing potential new biofuel crops
   

• Pro-poor partnerships with government agencies and the socially-minded private sector creating biofuel feedstock supply chains that help thousands of poor farmers and landless women raise their incomes substantially, while maintaining economic competitiveness for the processing industry;
