    “All eyes are turned to food and biofuels, but tree plantations for biomass energy may soon become an important driver in the global land rush,” said Lorenzo Cotula, a senior researcher at IIED and co-author of the report.

    Investing in biomass plantations could become more attractive in the coming years as fossil fuel prices rise and the cost of biomass production falls as new production methods develop, the report said.

    Biomass plantations may also be able to generate additional revenue streams, such as by selling carbon credits.
