Abstract
⺠The EU aspires to global leadership in 'sustainable biofuels' substituting for fossil fuels. ⺠The EU's biofuel target provides incentives for dispossessing rural communities in the global South. ⺠North-South NGO networks have denounced 'agrofuels' for such harm. ⺠But the EU's political accountability for harm is reduced to carbon accounting, thus depoliticising plunder.
