Bioenergy is produced from biofuels (solid fuels, biogas, liquid fuels
such as bioethanol and biodiesel) which come from crops such as sugar cane and
beet, maize and energy grass or from fuelwood, charcoal, agricultural wastes
and by-products, forestry residues, livestock manure, and others.

In sub-Saharan Africa, where more than 90% of the rural population live
without access to electricity, bioenergy -- with its two main components, wood
energy and agroenergy -- can have a significant impact on improving
livelihoods.
The use of biomass for energy also generates incomes and jobs for the
rural people.
In developed countries, there is growing interest on the part of
governments and the private sector in expanding the use of biofuels derived

from agricultural and forestry biomass.

Scenarios for the USA and the EU
Scenarios developed for the USA and the EU indicate that "short-term
targets of up to a 13% displacement of petroleum-based fuels with liquid
biofuels (bioethanol and biodiesel) appear feasible on available cropland,"
according to FAO.anes.
These are some of the conclusions of the 2005 edition of the State of the
