4、iwp.24.00033.Executive SummaryHighlights As the world pursues efforts to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change,lands will be put under increasing pressure to meet demand for food,fiber,energy,carbon removal,and other ecosystem services.The efficiency of different land uses must be cons
5、idered as the United States works toward its climate goals.Limited biomass use has the potential to support emissions reductions,but overuse risks increasing land use pressure,displacing food production,and causing cropland expansion that increases greenhouse gas emissions.Biomass sources that have
6、lower risk of inducing land use change include wastes and residues from agriculture and forestry.Food crops grown for biofuel pose the highest risk of driving land use change.To most effectively support decarbonization,limited biomass resources may be used for carbon removal and replacing fossil fue
