This dataset contains the results of a literature analysis on the potential future water demand of bioenergy plantations and for contextualization that of other water use sectors. For the bioenergy scenarios, it also contains the following parameters/assumptions of the studies included:

type of study, modeling framework, bioenergy feedstock, land-type converted to biocrops, whether global maps for bioenergy locations are included, whether withdrawal or consumption is reported, type of water (blue/green/gray), simulation year for which data is extracted, carbon conversion efficiency (c_eff), plantation area, provided bioenergy and/or NEs (depending on study type) and the associated freshwater requirements

Literature Analysis following a Query on WebOfScience and SCOPUS:

AND (( "water" AND ("use" OR "demand" OR "consumption" OR "withdrawal")) OR "irrigation")

AND ("global")

NOT ("algae" OR "algal" OR "electrofuels")
