First generation biofuels, distilled from food crops like corn germ, sugarcane, rapeseed, soybeans and palm oil, are controversial. In the worst cases, research shows such biofuels pollute even more than petroleum-based fuels, for example where rainforest is cleared to make way for a low-yielding palm oil plantation.

Palm oil requires tropical climates and has already displaced massive areas of tropical rainforest in Indonesia and Malaysia.

Expansion of crop land area to meet the world壮s growing food, fuel, and fiber needs has received much attention in recent years due to forest encroachment and the resulting loss of carbon sequestration and biodiversity that are critical global public goods (Laurance et al., 2014).A growing body of literature has analyzed options for slowing cropland expansion, especially in

After excluding forest land, protected areas and land needed for food, between 250 and 800 million hectares, are potentially available for the expansion of biofuel crop production. In 2004, about 1% of global cropland was being used for biofuels , and the IEA expects this share to increase to 3 to 4 times this level by 2030.
