“…Methodologically, we demonstrate the viability of linking two PE models of varying solution technique, sectoral scope, and resource detail, providing insight into how such crossplatform assessments may be undertaken in the future and the potential benefits and drawbacks of such an approach. From a policy perspective, we explore how traditional energy-focused policy decisions may be leveraged to achieve non-energy objectives through the use of novel interventions, an important issue generally, but of particular importance for bioenergy (Dale et al, 2015 an important driver of land use change (Veldkamp and Lambin, 2001;Choi et al, 2011), and the imposition of new demand for a given biomass feedstock could have a positive effect on land use affiliated with the new market opportunity (Ferris and Joshi, 2004;Feng and Babcock, 2010;Abt et al, 2010b;Galik et al, 2015). By targeting markets to discrete geographic areas, such efforts could also create a steady supply of locally-available biomass feedstock, thus helping to address supply concerns and logistical inefficiencies that could increase costs (e.g., Overend, 1982;Aksoy et al, 2011).…”
