In particular, it permits the replacement of natural tropical forest with plantations; and it would increase net emissions of carbon to the atmosphere if carbon offsetting were involved.

Rapid expansion in the use of agricultural crops as a transport
fuel has been justified in Northern countries as a prodevelopment
