Abstract: Asian countries have sharply increased their energy consumption due to economic growth, inducing extremely high dependency on fossil energy, ranking them among the world's highest CO2 emitters. Hence, the current focus in these countries is on using bioenergy to diversify the energy mix and mitigate climate change. In this study, we estimated the evolution of bioenergy deployment through current energy and climate policies using a bottom-up energy system optimisation model. The results indicate that a carbon tax system would derive the greatest bioenergy consumption by 2030. Current INDCs targets appear insufficient to promote bioenergy development without renewable energy targets and biofuel blending mandates. [Received: January 14, 2016; Accepted: July 24, 2016]
