Global bioenergy potentials from agricultural land in 2050: Sensitivity to climate change, diets and yields

► We analyze the sensitivity of bioenergy potentials to diets, yields and climate change. ► Global bioenergy potentials in 2050 excluding forestry are 64-161 EJ y-1. ► Food and livestock feed requirements strongly influence bioenergy potentials. ► Food crop yields affect the area available for energy crops. ► Climate-change impacts on bioenergy potentials may be substantial but are highly uncertain.
