dc.descriptionThis report presents a visual overview of the role of biofuels in advancing a green economy, outlining both opportunities and associated risks across the full production chain. It explains how biofuels can contribute to energy security, rural development, employment generation, greenhouse gas reduction and improved energy access, while emphasising that outcomes depend on feedstock choice, land use and life-cycle performance. The document examines safeguards related to land, biodiversity and water, including land-use change, food security, ecosystem services and water scarcity. It highlights regional production trends, technical and sustainable potential, and the need for integrated planning, efficiency improvements and policy coherence to ensure environmentally and socially sustainable bioenergy development.en
