Carla Romeu-Dalmau and Alex Gasparatos organized a special session on Bioenergy and Ecosystem Services in the Ecosystem Services Partnership (ESP) conference in South Africa last November. In the session, several ESPA (Ecosystem Services and Poverty Alleviation) projects working on bioenergy in Africa presented their work on charcoal, sugarcane and Jatropha. Alex and Carla presented their work on ‘operationalizing the ES approach for biofuel landscapes’ and on ‘Impacts of land use change due to biofuel crops on climate regulation services in Sub-Saharan Africa’.
