In order to provide decision-making methodology to evaluate sustainability of biomass utilisation in East Asian context, an expert working group has been formed since 2007 and has been conducting researches to assess the sustainability of biomass utilisation with the concept of triple bottom line focusing on environmental, economic and social pillars of sustainability. Based upon the methodology developed in 2008, the WG had conducted four pilot studies in India, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines in 2010 to field-test the methodology developed and investigate the sustainability of various feedstocks utilisation for biomass energy. This paper aims at introducing the sustainability assessment methodology the WG developed and addressing experiences and lessons learned through the pilot studies.
