abstract = {While it is generally accepted that our fossil
fuel-dominated energy systems must undergo a sustainable
transition, researchers have often neglected the potential
impacts of this on water and land systems. However, if
unintended environmental impacts from this process are to be
avoided, understanding its implications for land use and
water demand is of crucial importance. Moreover, developed
countries may induce environmental stress beyond their own
borders, for instance through extensive imports of
bioenergy. In this paper, Germany serves as an example of a
developed country with ambitious energy transformation
targets. Results show that in particular, the
politically-driven aspiration for more organic farming in
Germany results in a higher import quota of biomass,
especially biofuels. These imports translate into land
demand, which will exceed the area available in Germany for
bioenergy by a factor of 3–6.5 by 2050. As this will
likely bring about land stress in the respective exporting
countries, this effect of the German energy transformation
ought to be limited as much as possible. In contrast,
domestic water demand for the German energy system is
expected to decrease by over $80\%$ through 2050 due to
declining numbers of fossil-fuelled power plants. However,
possible future irrigation needs for bioenergy may reduce or
even counterbalance this decreasing effect. In addition,
energy policy targets specific to the transport sector show
a high sensitivity to biomass imports. In particular, the
sector-specific target for greenhouse gas reductions will
seemingly promote biomass imports, leading to the
above-described challenges in the pursuit of
sustainability.},
