Resumen
Abstract
Mexico’s government has introduced a Law on Climate Change that is unique worldwide;
it establishes targets for greenhouse gases reductions at the same level of developed countries
despite being an emerging country. This reform represents a crucial challenge for the electrical and
transport sectors largely dependent on fossil energy since Mexico is the ninth-largest oil producer
in the world. Local industry and academic sectors are called to lead the introduction of renewable
energy sources, and particularly to enhance the share of energy from biomass in the local energy
basket. Thus, this paper outlines the baseline on regulatory, energy, and carbon markets, and the
scientifi c capacity to increase bioenergy utilization in Mexico. Furthermore, it opens a discussion
about the steps forward with regard to sustainability and research needs, emphasizing some priorities
and principles to develop a bioenergy system environmentally compatible in this country.
