Dedicating land to biofuels can potentially reduce GHGs only if doing so increases the carbon benefit of land. Proper accountings must reflect the net impact on the carbon benefit of land, not merely count the gross benefit of using land for biofuels. Technically, to generate greenhouse benefits, the carbon generated on land to displace fossil fuels (the carbon uptake credit) must exceed the carbon storage and sequestration given up directly or indirectly by changing land uses (the emissions from land-use change) (Table 1).
