Production of fuels from plants and agricultural and forestry wastes can
reduce both society's dependence on fossil fuels and net emissions of
atmospheric carbon dioxide, the major contributor to global warming.
Expanded use of this bioenergy requires assuring that its production and
consumption are truly sustainable.
