State of global land regulation inadequate to control biofuel land-use-change emissions

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 26 June 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01711-7

Under current land-use regulation, carbon dioxide emissions from biofuel production exceed those from fossil diesel combustion. Therefore, international agreements need to ensure the effective and globally comprehensive protection of natural land before modern bioenergy can effectively contribute to achieving carbon neutrality.
