Synopsis (short abstract) The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) provides statistics in FAOSTAT at the country, regional and global level on the production and consumption of bioenergy by type of biofuel: solid biofuels, liquid biofuels and gaseous biofuels. This brief discusses statistics of bioenergy from 1990 to 2022, both globally and by region.

    The rapid development of bioenergy, and in particular liquid biofuels, has generated considerable debate regarding their sustainability, in particular the so-called “food versus fuel” competition. The links between bioenergy and food security are complex and multi-faceted.

    Bioenergy developments are high on the agendas of many countries today in an effort to improve energy access, energy security and in the context of concerted efforts towards lowering global greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, bioenergy offers enormous potential to boost agricultural growth. Decades of inadequate public investment has resulted in a stagnant sector characterized by declining productivity with serious implications for long- term food production. Biofuel developments in Tanzania could provide an important vehicle through which to revitalize agriculture by bringing a variety of investments needed to boost productivity. However, although the arguments for promoting bioenergy are strong, over time serious concerns about the environmental and social feasibility and sustainability of bioenergy have arisen, especially with first generation bioenergy.
