Biomass energy is rapidly expanding as a source of commercial energy with the emphasis being placed on developing biomass-derived fuels for transport. A large-scale expansion of biofuels for transport has the potential to make a significant positive contribution to the climate problem and to provide a source of income to support rural livelihoods. However, large-scale bioenergy, if not done carefully, could lead to a further degradation of land, water bodies, and ecosystems. For the large-scale use of commercial biofuels to be consistent with sustainable development goals will require a concerted move towards sustainable agriculture. It will also require that markets be redesigned to benefit the rural poor in the developing world to provide more employment opportunities and better terms of trade. [Introducción]
