This publication Myths and Facts about Bioenergy in Africa presents facts about bioenergy in sub-Saharan Africa while addressing false assumptions that are often claimed against this sector. PANGEA highlights the real benefits of bioenergy in Africa as well as the real causes of failed projects. In this publication, numbers show that actual biofuels production in Africa is small and the unlikely cause of food insecurity and land grabbing. Data in the publication, for example, demonstrates that only 0.05% of global biofuels are produced on the continent while just 2% of European imports of denatured ethanol from 2009 to 2011 came from sub-Saharan Africa. The document also highlights how women can benefit from sustainable biofuels, both in rural and in urban areas and how land grabbing is not a result of demand for biofuels but is actually due to weak land tenure systems in African countries along with topics related to water use, and biodiversity.
