Sustainable Bioenergy in Latin America and Africa

The document addresses the tension between the need for increased energy access for social development and the environmental risks associated with fossil fuels and deforestation. It specifically examines whether bioenergy can serve as a viable, affordable, and environmentally sound alternative to oil, coal, and natural gas in developing regions.

• The use of fossil fuels for transport, industry, agriculture, and urban power poses a threat to the global climate, with expected negative impacts on society, the economy, and ecosystems.
• Energy access is a critical requirement for social development, particularly in the less developed regions of Latin America and Africa, as well as for sustaining living standards in developed nations.
