Climate change, environmental degradation, agriculture decline burdened with heavy socio-economic implications and increasing energy needs for sustainable development and economic growth have stimulated a frenetic search for acceptable solutions to improve this critical situation. Biomass production and utilisation for energy has given rise to many discussions for its environmental impact. This paper presents a point of view that bio-energy could assume sustainable environmental features for our future. The principal arguments of this paper are: bio-energy system and carbon emission -including confrontation of CO2 emissions between a biomass electricity closed system and a coal-based electric generation system-, soil erosion, fertiliser use, pesticide use, and biodiversity.
