Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Global land use model simulates agrivoltaics, PV, and bioenergy under Net Zero. • Agrivoltaics require 30× less land than bioenergy for equivalent electricity output. • Replacing bioenergy saves 106 Mha natural land and 52 Mt. fertiliser by 2060. • Agrivoltaics show 32% higher land efficiency than separate solar and crop systems. • Solar energy policies can reduce food-energy-nature land use trade-offs globally.
