生物能源是低收入和中等收入国家的主要可再生能源和主要一次能源。然而，在许多情况下，生物质的使用是不可持续和低效的，导致重大的环境和健康风险。这篇简短的通讯综合了发表在《生物质与生物能源》杂志上的特刊《低收入和中等收入国家现代生物能源方法的发展》中发表的15篇研究文章的主要发现，并强调了生物能源在LMIC背景下的总体研究和部署挑战。《特刊》中介绍的研究表明，需求驱动和参与性方法的相关性，以及对生物能源的技术、环境、经济和社会影响的理解，以及与其他部门的协同作用，有助于充分发挥可持续生物能源的潜力。研究结果还表明，现代生物能源系统可以为能源获取以及人类和经济发展做出贡献，为多个可持续发展目标提供支持。虽然人们普遍认为生物能源可以提供环境、经济和社会共同效益，但研究并不总是涵盖可持续性的全部范围，往往侧重于最明显的环境和经济效益，如气候变化、能源获取、相关经济发展以及可持续生产和创新。在生物能源系统的评估中纳入不太明显的共同效益将加强对非货币价值的分析，并将支持可再生能源和能源获取以外的机构和商业决策，支持可持续发展目标“不让任何人掉队”的总体概念。
Bioenergy is the main renewable energy source and the main primary energy source in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). However, in many cases biomass use is unsustainable and inefficient, resulting in significant environmental and health risks. This short communication synthesises the key findings from 15 research articles published in the Special Issue “Development of modern bioenergy approaches in low- and middle-income countries” published in the journal Biomass & Bioenergy and highlights the overarching research and deployment challenges of bioenergy in a LMIC context. The research presented in the Special Issue shows the relevance of demand-driven and participatory approaches and understanding the technical, environmental, economic and social implications of bioenergy and the synergies with other sectors to enable the full potential of sustainable bioenergy. The findings also show the contribution modern bioenergy systems can make to energy access and human and economic development, underpinning several of the Sustainable Development Goals. While there is large agreement that bioenergy can provide environmental, economic and social co-benefits, research not always capture the full breadth of sustainability and often focuses at the most obvious environmental and economic benefits such as climate change, energy access, related economic development and sustainable production and innovation. Including less visible co-benefits in the evaluation of bioenergy systems would strengthen the analysis of non-monetary values and would support institutional and commercial decision making beyond renewable energy and energy access, underpinning the overarching concept of the SDGS of “leaving no one behind”.
