It examines the main issues and possible economic implications of these developments and assesses their potential impact on land use and the environment, especially with respect to forests. The report examines both solid biomass and liquid biofuels, identifying opportunities and challenges at the regional and country levels. The development of bioenergy presents both opportunities and challenges for economic development and the environment. It is likely to have significant impacts on the forest sector, directly, through the use of wood for energy production, and indirectly, as a result of changes in land use. The impact of bioenergy on poverty alleviation in developing countries will depend on the opportunities for agricultural development, including income and employment generation, the potential to increase poor peoples' access to improved types of bioenergy; and the effects on energy and food prices. Five main messages emerge from this report: solid biomass will continue to be a principal source of energy; developments in bioenergy will have major implications for land use; tradeoffs, including those related to poverty, equity, and the environment, must be evaluated when choosing a bioenergy system; there is considerable potential for making greater use of forestry and timber waste as a bioenergy feedstock; and the climate benefits of bioenergy development are uncertain and highly location and feedstock specific.Este informe ofrece una visión general de los avances recientes en la producción y consumo de la bioenergía. Se examinan los temas principales y las posibles implicaciones económicas de estos avances, evaluando su impacto potencial en el uso de la tierra y el medioambiente, especialmente con respecto a los bosques. El informe examina tanto la biomasa sólida como los biocombustibles líquidos, identificando oportunidades y retos en el nivel regional y nacional. La bioenergía supone una oportunidad para que aquellos países con tierras apropiadas para los cultivos energéticos desarrollen una fuente propia de energía renovable. La mayoría de los países que están potenciando el desarrollo de la bioenergía persiguen, al menos, uno de los siguientes objetivos: aumentar la seguridad energética, estimular el desarrollo rural, reducir el impacto del consumo de energía sobre el cambio climático, o mejorar el medioambiente en sentido amplio. El desarrollo de la bioenergía ofrece tanto desafíos como oportunidades para el desarrollo económico y el medioambiente. Si bien puede crear oportunidades para la generación de renta y empleo y puede incrementar el acceso de la población más pobre a mejores tipos de energía existen por ejemplo serias dudas sobre su efecto en la lucha contra el cambio climático o el medioambiente.CC BY 3.0 IGOAGRICULTURAL RESIDUEAGRICULTURAL RESIDUESALCOHOL PRODUCTIONALTERNATIVE FUELSANAEROBIC DIGESTIONAPPROACHAVAILABILITYBIO-OILBIODIESELBIOENERGYBIOFUEL PRODUCTIONBIOGASBIOGAS PRODUCTIONBIOLOGICAL NITROGEN FIXATIONBIOMASSBIOMASS COMPONENTSBIOMASS ENERGYBIOMASS ENERGY PRODUCERSBIOMASS ENERGY PRODUCTIONBIOMASS FOR ENERGYBIOMASS FOR ENERGY PRODUCTIONBIOMASS FUELSBIOMASS RESOURCESBIOMASS TECHNOLOGIESBIOMASS USEBLACK LIQUORBOILERBOILERSCALORIFIC VALUECARBON DIOXIDECARBON EMISSIONSCARBON SEQUESTRATIONCATALYTIC CONVERSIONCELLULOSECELLULOSIC BIOMASSCELLULOSIC ETHANOLCHARCOALCHARCOAL PRODUCTIONCLIMATE BENEFITSCLIMATE CHANGECOCOALCOMBUSTIONCONSUMPTION OF ENERGYCONVENTIONAL DIESELCONVENTIONAL GASOLINECONVERSION PROCESSCORNCORN ETHANOLCORN PRODUCTIONCOST OF ENERGYCROP RESIDUESCRUDE OILDEFORESTATIONDEMAND FOR HEATDIESELDISTRIBUTION LOSSESDUNGEFFICIENCY OF ENERGY PRODUCTIONELECTRICITYELECTRICITY CAPACITYELECTRICITY GENERATIONELECTRICITY PRODUCTIONEMISSIONEMISSIONSEMISSIONS REDUCTIONSEMPLOYMENTENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY CROPENERGY CROPSENERGY DEMANDENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY GENERATIONENERGY NEEDSENERGY OUTLOOKENERGY PRICESENERGY PRODUCTION FROM BIOMASSENERGY SECURITYENERGY SOURCEENERGY SOURCESENERGY STRATEGIESENERGY SYSTEMSENERGY USEENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNSENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL POLICIESENVIRONMENTAL RISKSENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITYETHANOLETHANOL BLENDINGETHANOL CONSUMPTIONETHANOL PRODUCTIONETHANOL WITH GASOLINEETHANOL YIELDSFEEDSTOCKFEEDSTOCK PRICESFEEDSTOCKSFEEDSTOCKS FOR ETHANOL PRODUCTIONFIRST-GENERATION FUELSFOOD CROPSFOSSILFOSSIL ENERGYFOSSIL FUELFOSSIL FUEL PRICESFOSSIL FUEL USEFOSSIL FUELSFUELFUEL COSTSFUEL ETHANOLFUEL PRODUCTIONFUELSGASGASIFICATIONGASIFICATION TECHNOLOGYGASOLINEGENERATIONGEOTHERMALGLOBAL ENERGY DEMANDGLOBAL WARMINGGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION REDUCTIONSGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSGREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTIONSGRID APPLICATIONSHEATHEAT PRODUCTIONHEAT PUMPSHEATING SYSTEMSHEMICELLULOSEHYDROPOWERJATROPHAKILOWATT HOURLIGNINLIQUID BIOFUELLIQUID BIOFUELSLIQUID FUELLIQUID FUELSMAIZEMETHANEMICROALGAENATURAL GASNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTNET ENERGY BALANCENITROGENNITROGEN FERTILIZERNITROUS OXIDE EMISSIONSNONRENEWABLE ENERGYNUCLEAR FUELNUCLEAR POWEROILOIL CONSUMPTIONOIL EQUIVALENTOIL EXPORTERSOIL EXPORTSOIL FEEDSTOCKSOIL PRICESOIL PRODUCTIONOIL RESOURCESOIL SEEDOIL SEEDSOIL SUPPLYPELLETSPETROLEUMPETROLEUM GASPETROLEUM PRODUCTSPOLLUTIONPOWERPOWER GENERATIONPOWER PRODUCTIONPOWER STATIONSPRIMARY ENERGYPRIMARY ENERGY SUPPLYPRIMARY FEEDSTOCKPRODUCTION OF ELECTRICITYPYROLYSISQUANTITY OF FUELRAPESEEDRAPESEED OILRAW SUGARREDUCING ENERGY USERENEWABLE ENERGIESRENEWABLE ENERGYRENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENTRENEWABLE ENERGY POLICYRENEWABLE ENERGY PRODUCTIONRENEWABLE FUELSRENEWABLE TECHNOLOGIESRICE HUSKSRURAL AREASSLURRIESSODIUM HYDROXIDESOLAR POWERSOLAR THERMALSOLID BIOMASSSOLID BIOMASS FUELSSOLID FUELSSORGHUMSOURCE OF ENERGYSOY OILSOYBEAN MEALSOYBEAN OILSOYBEAN PRODUCTIONSUGAR CANESUGARCANESUGARCANE CULTIVATIONSUGARCANE PRODUCTIONSUGARSSUSTAINABLE ENERGYSUSTAINABLE USETAX INCENTIVETAX INCENTIVESTERTIARY BUTYL ETHERTIDAL POWERTRADITIONAL BIOMASSTRADITIONAL FUELSVEHICLESWASTE HEATWASTE PRODUCTSWATER HEATINGWATER MANAGEMENTWINDWIND POWERWOODWOOD BIOMASSWOOD CHIPSWOOD PELLETSWOOD RESIDUESWOOD WASTEWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-7629-4
