CO2 emissions from land conversion for energy crops

The conversion of high carbon-storage ecosystems, such as tropical forest, savanna and peatland into biofuel plants, can neutralise any GHG emission reductions achieved by replacing fossil fuels with biofuels, and even lead to a net increase in CO2 emissions. Biofuels, in the use phase, emit the carbon that has been previously absorbed during plant growth….
