Abstract This study shows how bioenergy potential and total greenhouse gas ( GHG ) balances of land‐use change and agricultural intensification can be modeled in an integrated way. The modeling framework is demonstrated for first‐ and second‐generation ethanol production in Ukraine for the timeframe 2010–2030 for two scenarios: a business as usual ( BAU ) scenario in which current trends in agricultural productivity are continued; and a progressive scenario, which projects a convergence of yield
