Bioenergy and
Earth System Sustainability Meeting
A workshop of the Earth System Science Partnership (Diversitas, IGBP, IHDP, WCRP)
19-22 July 2008,
Piracicaba, Brazil
|
Presently, the global demand for bioenergy is driven by demand for “traditional bioenergy” in rural communities
of developing countries, which accounts for 10 percent of global primary energy. More recently, the demand for “new”, highly
standardized biomass for energy is rising rapidly posing a new set of opportunities and challenges to Earth system sustainability.
The are different perspectives through which bioenergy is viewed:
- Energy security.
- Livelihood security and rural development.
- Environmental.
- Innovation and new business opportunities.
Each of these opportunities comes with a range of challenges. The goals of the workshop were to identify the major opportunities and
constraints for bioenergy in the context of Earth system sustainability.
