Land-use intensity of electricity production and tomorrow’s energy landscape
Fig 4
Amount of electricity sourced from biomass in each of the scenarios we evaluated.
Most scenarios do not specify whether the biomass will be sourced from dedicated crops or managed forests, or sourced from waste and residue. However, several scenarios include more biomass combustion than could be reasonably sourced from waste and residues, assuming all waste and residue produced globally could be economically collected. *Global technical potential for biomass production comes from Searchinger and Heimlich (2015).
