7.3. Technical barriers
Technical barriers were resulted from the lack of standards on bioenergy systems
and equipment, especially where the energy sources are so diverse. It is difficult for a
power developer to procure technology without performance insurance. Lack of
standards on bioenergy systems and equipment, which is usually the case for
technology-imported countries, is the barrier to the commercialization of bioenergy
technologies. In addition, as new and advanced biomass energy technologies are still
very young in the market, it is, in general, difficult to make profit from them and hard
to attract people interest to work in the field. Therefore, it is necessary that human
resource development be properly planned to support the promotion of bioenergy
applications. The Ministry of Energy does not yet have any clear policy on human
resource development.
